Kazushi Sakuraba Highlight by Robert Park

[saykhan2004]

what's the name of the second song ?

[DannyPhanx]

@saykhan2004 "Our Lady Peace - Not Enough"

[JBaggio]

There is not a coward bone in this guys body. A TRUE warrior, the embodiment of what our sport should be.

[3eemy]

the only fighter i can think of who is only motivated by martial arts not the fame the fortune or the woman.

[PTalpha1]

wow the guy is pure martial arts

[jjkkllqaswqdqasqwd]

there will never be another sakuraba

[SteroidsMakeMeStrong]

I fucking hated how Pride made him fight all of these monsters who outweighed him by 40 lbs. Pride was run by a bunch of scumbags who didn't give a shit about their fighters.

[GanjaGanja89]

@SteroidsMakeMeStrong Lol... He took the fights with gladness.... Honor my friend

[BenSkuared]

@SteroidsMakeMeStrong I totally agree. But that's part of what makes Sakuraba special. He's our David who slayed all those Goliaths... He's a hero to the sport, partly because of that. Would I like to see him immortalized as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world? Yes. Because he was (really wanted to say "is"). But he did so much more for MMA than that. His part helped MMA become it's own sport which we have all come to cherish as it is today. We'll never forget you Sakuraba!

[tomster73]

he is the best there is and best there ever will be!

[ezzedine114]

sakuraba king of kimura

[surreyrite]

perfect 2nd song for the video!!!!

[caique8046]

EO MEU SONHO É SER UM LUTADOR IGUAL A ELE

E ATÉ MESMO MELHOR

[caique8046]

ESSE HOMEM É O MELHOR LUTADOR QUE EU JÁ VI

O LENGENDARIO!!

[Ladislaus333]

No one, I mean no one is more to our beloved sport then Saku. Coming out of left field and changing the landscape of MMA. lol I say this with water filling my eyes. A little wrestler from Japan.... Who would have thought someone like this would show us all the true spirit of being a warrior? So many freakish fighters and their egos nowadays. They are not half the champion you were. You never held gold in hand. However, you held the true gold in your heart. Thats why you are/were the best!

[GeneralVan]

A PRIME SAKURABA WOULD SUBMIT ANDERSON SILVA, CAIN VELASQUEZ, BROCK LESNAR, AND JON JONES AND I WILL BELIEVE THAT UNTIL THE DAY I DIE!!!!

[panther2552]

@GeneralVan that's probably not too far from the truth bro. He subbed a far better wrestlers than Lesnar and Velasquez in Randleman who was a monster back then. Anderson's been submitted by two of Sakuraba's stablemates in Chonan and Takase. Jones would be interesting to see. he reminds me of Sakuraba alot (not in skill set or level, but excitement of style)

[o12o13o]

what is the first song?

[b2spirita]

@o12o13o some horrible coldplay.

[Madmac79]

@o12o13o some beautiful coldplay.

[guyverunit1]

This is just such a wicked highlight.... always inspires me

[CathaterW]

In his prime im sure Saku would've destroyed Anderson Silva, GSP, BJ Penn, Machida, Jones, etc 

[NRPBrute]

@CathaterW Yep, and they would have been one sided fights too. 

[TopazSkillMauler]

Prime Saku would easily destroy GSP

[sciencepowerdavid]

this highlight needs the rampage submission

[afroGeezyack]

''The M.J of MMA"!!!!!!!

[DistrbdWon]

2:12,, epic mario homage

[DistrbdWon]

now this guy knows his beginnings, his culture, and he can back up his showmanship

[Hypedhopes19]

If Sakuraba had a bit better boxing and some more power behind his shots he would have been unstoppable. He is still the legend for anyone who is lucky enough to recognize it though. Best grappler in MMA ever.

[holydiver420]

Only Saku is legendary enough to be sponsored by WATER, thats a fucking element!

[TheObelix876]

@holydiver420 water is not a element, hydrogen is :P

[josehernandez16]

Brilliant..

[xXBabyCoachXx]

i knew Sakuraba was Mario.

[mpc808]

Oddly enough, this song was used in a Rickson/Rockson Gracie tribute vid. I'd still like to see Saku vs. Rickson by the way.

[ThatsTheStruggle]

@mpc808 Seeing as how Rickson is a fraud, I think Sakuraba would win even in his worn out present stage.

[mpc808]

@ThatsTheStruggle I agree.

[Sheggzz]

@ThatsTheStruggle why is Rickson a fraud?

[panther2552]

@Sheggzz i'm just guessing, but probably because Rickson handpicked his opponents and made all the rules for his fights. much like Royler and Royce did with Saku. He also backed out of fights with credible fighters like Saku and Bas.

[NRPBrute]

@mpc808 meh...Rickson has passed on many challenges including challenges by Saku and Bas. 

[AdamLuxTIC]

Special HL's.... but who's Robert Parks? lol

[sciencepowerdavid]

this highlight doesn't show the time he defeated rampage one of his best fights

[nights1515]

They need to make a MMA Hall of Fame and the first person to be inducted should be Kazushi "The Gracie Hunter" Sakuraba! True fucking warrior.

[AdamLuxTIC]

@barraca3 Should take a look at my jose Aldo vid then...

[fmg92jr]

@nickgers1 you could never do what Sakuraba does. so shut the hell up.

[jjrickroller]

Saku i wish i could fight you just once even if i lost just to fight u once would make me forever honored

[SlaveSlayer2010]

I want to learn how to do his somersault position change to pin.

[ph33ric]

@SlaveSlayer2010 well, you try to cartwheel to north south and just improvise when the guy reacts to it. (cant be afraid to get an accidental knee or elbo to the face with this one)

[27Thevolta]

Sakuraba is truly awesome...

And this video and opening song is perfect

[JOTG2000]

I'm greatful Saku only fought in UFC Once, having him in Pride meant he could be more of a showman...and jump on peoples heads!! Great fighter to watch.

[acquafredda75]

Not a fighter but a legend.

[nights1515]

@acquafredda75 Not the greatest fighter I would agree but fuck the dude was a warrior he was defiantly a fighter.

[rudenoodle]

Tiger mask!!!!

[BSW0048]

Jesus...this is the first i have seen of this video and it is absolutely brilliant. Anyone know the song? Please email me through here or comment after this asap. Song just fit the video so friggin well.

[xxBrazilianPedroxx]

Five For Fighting - Superman :D
