Who sanctioned this? Here’s what happens when a 169lb fighter takes on an opponent that weighs 600lb. Actually, it’s nothing like what you’d expect.

Granted, it’s not the most recent clip (having came from Pride 3 in 1998) but who doesn’t want to watch 600lbs sumo and MMA fighter Emmanuel Yarborough take on the significantly lighter Daiju Takase?

The weight difference of 417lbs for the openweight bout is the most ever for an MMA event and of course, it took place in the land of things crazy, Japan. Enjoy the classic mismatch above.
