Micah Parsons, Sean Strickland debate who would win sumo wrestling match

Parsons responded on Twitter, telling Strickland he can give it a try if he’d like. Also told the MMA star if he was going to mess around, he would find out.

Now, usually, NFL starting left tackles are on the other end of Parsons. But he did recently go up against the sumo wrestlers and had mixed results.

Two reps took place and unsurprisingly, Parsons went down in the first one. He then promised to “hit legs every day” after getting thrown out of the circle. Stroud even showed the wrestler a celebration, rocking the baby right in front of Parsons.

But with how competitive Parsons is, he went out there and won on the second occasion, and was quite happy with himself. After a little celebration, the Dallas Cowboys star hit the ‘Too small’ taunt as the room erupted with laughter.

Parsons does have an appreciation for wrestling, dating back to his high school days. Despite being a five-star linebacker prospect, he still wrestled at Harrisburg High School. When he arrived in State College, Parsons supported the Penn State program. Even now, you see the Dallas Cowboys star tweeting about them.

If/when Strickland does get over to Japan, he will have the opportunity to face off against a sumo wrestler himself. And then, we can compare his results against Parsons to see where the two match up with one another.

While it’s unlikely the event ever happens, never say never. Both Strickland and Parsons love to talk a little bit and may want to put their money where their mouth is.
