Cowboys’ Micah Parsons Goes Head-to-Head with Sumo Wrestler in Viral Tokyo Showdown

Cowboys star Micah Parsons is looking beyond the football field to improve his football skills for the upcoming season.

The three-time Defensive Player of the Year finalist and three-time Pro Bowler recently tested himself against a sumo wrestler in a viral video captured in Japan.

While on a tour of Asia alongside Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, Parsons matched up one-on-one with a sumo wrestler in Tokyo.

In his first attempt the wrestler beat Parsons, pushing outside the the circular dohyo

Stroud was quick to tease him with a “too small” celebration followed by a cradling baby gesture that the opposing wrestler then imitated toward Parsons.

“Run it back,” the Cowboys star responded. “I’m about to hit legs every day.”

In the second round, Parsons got his revenge and continuously screamed “Come on” in celebration before eventually giving the “too small” gesture back to the sumo wrestler.

Parsons is no stranger to the wrestler ring, however, as he was a wrestler growing up and considered going back to the sport as a senior in high school when he was a Penn State recruit for football, according to Penn Live.

The wrestling background has perhaps contributed to his football success, and this upcoming season he will hope to chase down his fourth consecutive year of at least 13 sacks.

Stroud and Parsons are currently in Tokyo until May 9.

Prior, they had also traveled to China, visiting Beijing and Shanghai.

The pair also took jabs at one another when they threw out the ceremonial first pitch before a Tokyo Giants game.
