Watch: NFL Star Gets Dominated by Sumo Wrestler, Laughed at After Embarrassing Loss

Gridiron 🏈Football skills don’t translate so smoothly into the ancient Japanese art of sumo wrestling.

📍Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons faced off with a sumo wrestler during an international trip to Tokyo this week.

The defensive standout’s speed and agility didn’t prove enough to overcome the strength of the wrestler, who dispatched him with considerable ease in their first bout.

The wrestler — who hasn’t been publicly identified — even mocked Parson’s size, pretending to cradle a baby and referencing Parsons’ height of 6’3 in another gesture.

🤠Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was also present at the exhibition, and was amused at seeing one of the NFL’s most powerful defensive players manhandled by a practitioner of the sumo art.

In a twist, though, Parsons proved capable of driving the large wrestler out of the ring in their second go-round.

Parsons went on to suggest that the exchange wouldn’t be the last time he faced off against a sumo wrestler.
