Chris Christie could end the Oregon standoff at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge if only he sumo wrestled one of the militiamen to the ground.

That was the latest off-the-wall message coming from one of the men holed up in Oregon. Led by Ammon Bundy, an unknown number of individuals have now been at the wildlife preserve for more than three weeks.

In the video first picked up by the Oregonian, a man they identify as Kelly Gneiting challenges Christie to wrestle ten rounds with him “wearing diapers and slapping bellies.” If Christie manages to knock him down in just one, the man in the video claims the militiamen will pack up and head home.

“If I win all ten, I get to roll you down the stairs in that sleeping bag again,” the man says as he pretends to be Christie’s older brother.

The video is about three minutes long and Gneiting is clad in the traditional white sumo garb and nothing else.
