David vs. Goliath In A K-1 Ring

I don’t know about you, but sometimes find it quite intriguing to watch a perceived David vs. Goliath matchup.

Maybe it’s because many of us instinctively tend to root for the underdog.

Is it because we want to see the “little guy” win?

Well, whatever it is, we all have our own opinion and thoughts about it.

In this context, I thought it might be interesting to watch a modern-day David vs. Goliath encounter in a K-1 ring.

Here we have  a prime example with two former champions:

Royce Gracie (3-time UFC Champion, UFC Hall of Famer and member of the most influential Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu dynasty) vs. Yokozuno Akebono (Hawaiian sumo grand champion and first non-Japanese to attain superstar status).

The BJJ master (179 lbs.) vs. the Sumo master (484 lbs.) and free fight rules.

Watch very carefully how Royce Gracie implements his game plan of getting Akebono on the ground. The rest is BJJ as usual.
