"Gerard Gordeau, a savate champ, kicked a 500lb Sumo in the head in UFC one and set a couple of his teeth flying into the audience. He then landed strikes I think to ref stoppage.
Keith Hackney stopped Emmanuel Yarborough with a palm heel to the chin. Hackney must have hit him pretty hard to send all 550 lbs of him on his butt!"
There was also Mark Halls defeat of Koji Kitao with a punch in the nose.
The Sumo in the UFC do not seem to be very good at Sumo or anything else. Just like any other art one must crosstrain.
Exactly. All the best MMA fighters are proficient in more than one art. Being strictly a Muay Thai fighter, a sumo, a wrestler, a kung fu fighter is simply not going to do it.
