What about the Sudo-Butterbean match? What was the weight diff in that?

[Dado]

Oh my god!

I looked at his fight finder record and read this:

Win Tatsuaki Nakano Submission (Smother) Shooto-Shoot the Shooto XX 4/26/1998

SMOTHER?????? That cannot have been pretty.

What about the Sudo-Butterbean match? What was the weight diff in that?

LOL....dunno...but it was less than 138KG. Probably came in at #4

Fred "The Mangler" Floyd won a fight in the same way... just kind of sat on the poor guy...

I hear he fought once in K-1. Fred that is.

[Grant Ellis]

They call him the mangler because the first opponent he fought he mangled so bad his coach could not recognize him.

215KG difference??? No wonder Takase jogged the first round.

What about the Sudo-Butterbean match? What was the weight diff in that?


Butterbean weighed in at 350lbs and Sudo 155lbs so 195lbs different thats like around 85KG or somewhere around there.
