WOW! whered you dig that comment up? hehe.. this thread has my first post on this site.. hehe

First of all, i think your talking about Emannuel Yarborough lol, just because he competed in amateur sumo, i wouldnt consider him a REAL sumo. He had the size, but not the skill/conditioning of a serious sumo. Giant Silva was even bigger than yarborough, but he also had no skill or conditioning.

I still think a real Sumo could be a dominant force in MMA, especially after this past UFC event, Lesnar proved that size strength and skill can be a devastating combination. Now imagine putting Lesnar against a disciplined 600 lb sumo, what do you think would happen? hehe

But regardless.. like RJ said, those days of super heavyweight MMA fights are long gone anyways..

i would say its likely we dont see more Sumo wrestlers is due to the weight restrictions, im not sure there is many good quality Sumo who could weigh in at 265lbs or less. aside from that i think Sumo wrestlers get paid more then MMA fighters AND they get treated like absolute royalty in Japan, so i theres not a whole lot of reason for them to make the jump.

I would like to respond to “bvrasp”‘s comments on sumo. Remember Royce Gracie?
He defeated a 770 pound sumo Emmanuel something. Emmanuel is the largest and heaviest sumo in history.I know that other sumo wrestlers have lost in UFC, and that they tended to be in the early UFC.
Sumo men can be good, but I think not against pro fighters. Maybe with the new rules thye might do better. Thats why you dont see them anymore.
I weigh 100kg and can V-Squat 850 pounds.
When u are strong and quick, its not like an ordinary person fighting a bigger person.
That said, I would like to see some real sumo wrestlers win or lose.

Now we cant say fighter 1 can beat fighter 2 because fighter 1 beat figher 3 who lost to fighter 2. You keep saying liddel is a better fighter than he was 3-5 years ago, so is silva, when he beat jackson he was rewarded a black belt in jui-jitsui, I doubt belfort and ortiz can beat him now in his prime, silva has fought people weighing more than 50 pounds heavier, than him . Let liddel fight in a open weight class(I if he would ever do that) you’ll see how far he will get, by the way if you want to use the formula like I said in the top of paragraph you’ll would know liddel got his butt kick by Jackson who was put to sleep by silva (not too long ago)

Oh look, Kyle brought his little girlfriend JB to play…

Read what your boyfriend typed, then read what I typed.
use a dictionary if needed.

My post was anything but MMA-related. It reflected everything that is wrong with prejudice in the western world today.
Canada… what good is your country if the US treating your border line as if it was the mexican one?
So many hours in traffic, so little view.

Now, to the subject – my problem is with the quality of the fights in the UFC, which points out that Dana prefers quantity.
This is fine, as long as everyone knows that 50% or more of the product they buy, they can get for free on amatuer nights in my backyard.
You recognized that fact yourself in your post.

And because there is no effective way to compare the UFC and Pride, debating over who’s better, is like debating over who would win a duel – Spiderman or Batman?

Utterly irrelevant??? Thats some boderline *** **** right there….
Why are you beaking him when you really didn’t say nething urself man. I know people hate United States but like this isn’t about patriotism this is about watching some good fights. I have been watching UFC and Pride since I was like 9 and they are both good stuff. But Dana is definately doing the best he can in my mind….even though the fights sometimes end up sucking balls they are still usually what i want to see.
Btw im Canadian,
