Bob Sapp

Bob “The Beast” Sapp is the 350lb former NFL lineman who became one of Japan’s biggest celebrities. He threw Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira around before losing to an armbar in Pride in 2002, beat Ernesto Hoost twice in K-1, and won the 2005 K-1 World Grand Prix in Hiroshima tournament.

His fame rested on commercials, TV shows and his single “Sapp Time”, and later in his career his fights ended quickly, often with him tapping or walking away. CagePotato covered his Japanese celebrity, his DREAM and Rizin appearances and his strange retirement.
