it's fun to imagine

that there’s a casual fan who’s checking out the site and has never heard of Sakuraba who clicks this link and is off and running.

Absolutely

I have yet to meet a casual that I introduced to Saku who hasn’t become an instant fan.

Great write up

Greatest fight of all time!

1. Anderson Silva is waiting for you to punch him.
2. That guy is Anderson Silva.
3. Don't fucking punch that guy.

I really need to sit down for an hour and a half and watch this thing. Probably the fight I’ve heard the most about that I’ve never seen.

Kazushi Sakuraba is a Catch Wrestling legend, he just cruised past the best BJJ guys in MMA. I’ve always wondered why Rickson Gracie never tried to avenge the family name, him and Sakuraba would have been unbelievable. Shame Pride kept putting Saku in with guys who outweighed him by 30, 40 pounds. Heartbreaking to see him now, but his legacy as a legit all-time great is secure.
