Damn, before today, I had never known that Ali had actually faced one of the most well-known Japanese wrestlers in a match in Japan.

Here's an article about how that match went down, as well as some footage from the match:

Wow... one of the inspirations for MMA?

Yep, just like Tyson and recently Mayweather.

The only real match I've seen with a boxer vs. a wrestler was when Butterbean fought some dude from the WWE (I think) and knocked him the out lol.

Edit:

NM, I got this mixed up with Ali vs. Monsoon.

Never knew he did this.
