How far would the Mongolian empire have reached?

[SaiWa]

Source? I know the Mongols have a very strong(no pun intended)Wrestling culture, but I've never heard of them making that kind of impact on Sumo.

man.. your old ass post got me curious and I went down that Wikipedia rabbit hole for an hour or so... lol

There are currently only two active Yokozuna (highest ranked) Sumo Wrestlers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakuhō_Shō
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakuryū_Rikisaburō

Both are Mongolia. Hakuhō Shō broke tons of Sumo records and will probably go down as one of the greatest Sumo Wrestlers of all time.
