Akebono was moving around like a drunk autistic person.

Look how Akebono is moving in this match. The other match was eithe complete bs or the sumo guy was just way off his game.

In Akebono's other matches he is moving with speed and power and ferocity. Then he fights against Gracie and falls into his guard like Hunpty Dumpty. I've heard Gracie had fake matches to promote himself but of course there's no evidence.

Well, If you are a sumo, like akebono, you may not want to rush in on a bjj player let alone a gracie... If gracie gets dominant ground position its over. So what is the sumo gonna do? He really had no other choice but to try and get a knock out, which didnt happen...

Honestly, its not realistic unless akebono had some ground skills.

Gracie won that fair and square imo.
