Khan On the Japanese Sumo Circuit

I caught this bout last evening in a modern Mongolian ger, electicity powering the television and sound system, vodka shots and piva flowing, all while the wood-burning stove kept us warm from the Siberian cold beyond the felt walls.

The Japs typically try to absorb the great wrestlers, offering the non-Japanese (gaijin) citizenship and Japenese wives if they are good enough to take the Grand Champion.
