Two chances are given to the linebacker to hoist the Japanese athlete off his feet.
After winning the opening round, the sumo wrestler responds to Parson’s ‘too little’ remark.
When traveling to Japan with Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons engaged in a sumo match.
On social media, the couple teased competing against each other in a sumo gym, but wrestling a skilled sumo is a different story.
In the NFL, 6-foot-3, 245-pound Parsons is well-known for his unique combination of size and agility, which makes him a nightmare for opposing offensive lineman and tight ends.
When Parson tries to hoist the sumo wrestler for the first time, the Cowboys opponent almost gives way under the linebacker’s full force attack before the Dallas star is eliminated.
Without any delay, Stroud and the sumo celebrate their win, even employing Parson’s famous ‘too little’ gesture – similar to holding a baby in front of him – to express their joy.
As soon as Parsons realized the Japanese athlete had shown up, he demanded a rematch with the sumo wrestler.
In the second round, Parsons gains greater momentum and pushes the stunned sumo wrestler out of the ring.
Parsons jumps for joy, stomping all over the sumo gym, pleased with his performance.
