I was thinking how these guys would do in MMA. Obviously they would have to learn some striking and submissions and maybe boost up there cardio if needed but maybe they could do quit well.

Lyoto Machida has a sumo background.
Really? I knew he has a vast Karate background but was unaware about his Sumo background. Thanks for the info.
Sumos are fat and sexy.
