WikiLeaks: The sleazy criminal organization dedicated to publishing U.S. secrets may loudly deny its leaks led to the hanging of a man in Iran Tuesday. But that's irrelevant because WikiLeaks gave Tehran the pretext it sought.

Rick Roufus was up against Hawaiian sumo wrestler Akebono who, apart from the massive weight advantage, was also nine inches taller. But, partly due to his tactic of peppering Akebono's legs with kicks, Roufus managed to come out on top, reports Sherdog News.

MERRIMACK – Never try to steal a man’s brand new sports car. Never try to steal a man’s brand new sports car, even if he has a hot coffee in his hand.
