Korea's Sumo Champ, Tae Hyun Lee Joins Pride

he is going to fight Ricardo Morais. Morias is old and very much so a can. i think lee will win but this will not test him properly. This guy is 6'5" and 305 and sounds like he will be fun to watch. what do you guys know about him?

he is old though. and he is 193 cm, so he is not quite 6ft 5. pride is very popular in korea, and many ssirum fighters are jumping into MMA bandwagon.

He's a biggie... he's the one in blue shorts I believe.

Hope he does well, he was really good at ssirum so hes got that something that pushed him to be the best.

throw him to Nastula so we can get another great sub.

Great, another fat sumo chump. How many do they have to go through before they accept that Sumo doesn't translate to MMA...

wolverinejoe80 · 09-03-2006, 10:40 PM

he is not a fatty, but he still needs to lose 20-30 pounds.

SSIRUM IS NOT SUMO. they are not as fat as sumo wrestlers. they have tremendous legs with a great balance, and has a great upper body power. so it's a good base for a MMA.

At this point...anything else is like icing on the cake.
