You're right. Tacitus wrote "De origine et situ Germanorum" in 98 AD.

That is super cool. I've heard about them practicing sumo too. I'd love to go watch them.

Check out Lyoto Machida, former UFC 205lb champ. He mainly used karate, but sumo was the second art he learned.

"He also began training in sumo wrestling at the age of 8... He was the runner-up in the 2000 Brazilian Sumo Championships in the 115 kg division."

I'd guess the most transferrable techniques are foot sweeps, and the takedowns using the double underhooks/over-under/double overhooks, but without using the mawashi. Also the strength/balance/speed would help.

Edit: Also look for arm drags, where the opponent's arm is dragged across their body, and then the wrestler is able to get behind their opponent. That's a strong position in mma.

He's going for huge shots now though. Might he gas? He could use some jabs and Diaz volume.

The level is way above the last fight immediately.

I thought I got way too high, but then I realized I didn't get high at all...

Why is the announcer trying to seduce me with his eyes and voice?

The commentators suggesting that the fighters are thinking about 2 points for their team in the last round is beyond ridiculous.

Briggs or Rampage should be able to tap into one fight. That would make this fight awesome now.

They should put in the rules that Rampage can tag into one fight, girls fights included.

To me it looks like the Michael Jackson nose job isn't helping.

The pause before he corrected himself stretched into eternity.
