We all know about the earbiting
But he would knock off the head of most of us and still knock out the rest of us
Being hit by Tyson is not something you want to experience and if you do not ever twice
Something that seems to be true for the slaps of sumotori too
Hae, why don't we see any sumofighter in Pride or UFC?

Tyson did the elbow thing a lot. He's got nasty elbows.
There was a "sumo" guy in the very first UFC. I think he got his face smashed in by a savate guy or something. He was a sumo guy in some amature Korean league or something. Real sumo guys from the top Japanese leagues would never, ever compete in something like UFC or Pride. First off, they'd get stripped of their titles and such. Secondly, they're all so deep into sumo culture that they would never "disgrace" the sport by lowering themselves to fight in such a forum. But yeah, Takanohana, Mushashimaru or Akebono would be a handful for any MMA fighter.
