Which grapplers have their own monument?
I really like statues, and sculptures in general. Monuments like these are an epic way to immortalize historically relevant individuals, events or symbols. And for some cultures, their wrestlers are right at the top when it comes to relevance.
It's said that Wrestling, mankind's oldest combat sport, traces its origins back to the dawn of civilization, so it's no surprise that many cultures have their own version of this glorious struggle.
I love all forms of wrestling, but particularly submission wrestling arts, meaning grappling or wrestling disciplines where submissions finishes are allowed.
In today's video, Submission Wrestlers that have their own monument.
