all the stuff before the match is just ceremony and the rikishi hyping themselves up, but the staredown that they do is VERY unusual.
(if you don't know the rules of sumo, the very basic idea is: if anything but the sole of your foot touches the ground, or if you touch outside the bale ring, you lose.)
if you've never watched sumo before and have to watch any single bout, watch this one. it's the final match of the greatest of all time, yokozuna (#1 ranked) sho hakuho, vs our current yokozuna (at the time #2 ranked ozeki) terunofuji. at the time hakuho knew it was his final match but nobody else did
