Today I found a proof that Zangief from Street Fighter really exists!

Ok, maybe not exactly, but just take a look at this guy:

His name is Sajad Gharibi and he's Iranian powerlifter. He weights about 350 - 380 lbs., 155 - 175 kilograms, the stats vary on different websites. According to Street Fighter wikia Zangief's weight is about 400 lbs. so that would fit.

I couldn't find his height, but I assume that could be close as well. Ok, obviously nationality is different ;-) But if anybody would like to make a Street Fighter movie, he would fit perfectly ;-)
