Description:
Jean-Claude Van Damme gets involved in this underground fighting competition. There are two bearhugs. The first is when a black man is fighting a Sumo wrestler (this happens about half way in the movie). The second is when Van Damme fights the Sumo guy.

The name of the sumo wrestler is Pumola. He is played by David Ho.
Frank Dux is a U.S. Army Captain that is played by Jean-Claude Van Damme.

The guy that Pumola bearhugs to submission (or shall I say, until he cracks his opponent's back) is called Ricardo Morra and is played by Eric Neff. Ricardo's fighting style is called "Monkey Style Kung-Fu".

Link #3 contains the Tournament Bracket and Link #4 contains advanced analysis of the cast.
