In a scenario where brute force seems to reign supreme, an unlikely hero has emerged to defy expectations and rewrite the rules of the game. The fighter of juice Oyamada Shutaro, weighing 93,8kg, staged a historic moment by defeating the giant Dewanojo Shota, weighing 252,2kg, in an unusual fight.
The feat, which overcame a weight difference of 158,4kg, generated commotion in the world of combat sports and raised debates about the dynamics of sumo fights.

The fight, which took place last weekend, was dominated by Shutaro from the beginning. With mastery and technique, the smaller fighter used the ashitori, known as a 'leg catch', to unbalance the opponent and knock him to the ground. The scene, which shocked viewers, highlighted Shutaro's strategic talent, proving that size is not always synonymous with strength.
Shutaro's victory not only marked a personal triumph, but also sparked debate about the structure of fights. In Grand Sumo, the most popular form of the sport, wrestlers, called rikishi, compete in a hierarchical league system with no weight classes.
