Back in June 1998, a Pride 3 showdown between Emanuel Yarbrough and Daiyju Takase may not have drawn the attention of the casual observer. But if someone were to tell you that Yarbrough weighed in at 652 pounds while his opponent came in at a paltry 169 lbs., how could you not be interested in finding out how it all unfolds? For the first three minutes of the video, Takase plays tag with the former All-American wrestler but eventually he gets a warning from the ref for stalling (uh, yeah, we would do the same thing!). So the smaller guy is forced to just go for broke and chance it with Jaws! When you watch the clip, you'll know what we're talking about. [via Off The Bench]
