Best/biggest/worst/most hilarious freakshows? What is the actual topic?
In no particular order:
-Genki Sudo vs. Butterbean. probably the single most impressive win ever if you only count weight difference.
-Yuki Nakai vs. ginormous fat black guy. The opponent ends up strolling around with a lightweight strapped around his arm, eventually tapping out to the armbar. It looks like he had a little swelling on his arm, but is was a person.
-Zuluzinho vs. Minowaman.
-Hackney vs. Yarborough.
Tuli vs. Gordeau (the original, first major freakshow in modern times)
The win goes to Giant Silva vs. Sentoryu. Maybe the only time we will ever see somebody tap to a kimura while on top in sidemount. The guy was so fat and immobile he could not even elevate his hips slightly to relieve the pressure.
