The first drop kick was so good. Dude lands so gracefully and doesn’t leave himself open for long.

Severely overweight people (a la butterbean) have a hard time rolling over. If you are large enough you can keep them down with good technique. Then it's just a matter of draining their stamina which happens faster the larger the body is.

@@justaneditygangstar If memory serves, he was only given a couple months to train it max, I think a single month. All things considered, his wrestling is decent, but I think it would take a really long time to correctly use all that weight as an advantage, rather than just immediately becoming exhausted.
@Phoenix7786 11 місяців тому
One thing I really want to emphasize is after the match was over, it looked like Minowa wanted to help Butterbean up. There was a true sense of sportsmanship here between these two and I really admire that. It seems to be lost in the modern trash-talking era of professional fighting.
