  • Both fighter were incredible, sakuraba, because he continous with the submission even with all of galestic hits, and galestic because he support an incredible pain like that

  • Hahaha. What a bs. Galesic hit Saku 50 times in a head while down and match wasn't stopped. Only in a Japan were fights are fixed.

  • @justrelaxin are you fucking stupid?? its because he was working his way into submitting his opponent. and he was not even limping,

  • @taekagipot You surely are stupid after saying that

  • @justrelaxin only a bad ref would stop the fight when the man being punched was working a submission the entire time. It's plain to see Saku working his leg and ankle the entire time. Galesic himself said there were three snaps in his foot, ankle, then knee respectively. It also took him a year and a half before he was able to fight again.

  • I don't usually cry,but when i do

    I prefer saku.

  • when galesic surrender, i got an adrenaline shock.

  • I can't say how much I like this video! It is pure energy

  • he was the best, more oppened mind japan fighter, unique soul and spirit.. i feel so sad that he is old now, but it always be for me the guy that beat a lots of gracies guys..

  • Once you start this video...you can't stop. Sakuraba....respect. Never Ever Say Die!! That's what it's all about, and that's why Sakuraba is, and will always be a legend.

  • Waaaaoooow.... amazing

  • In UFC Sakuraba would have lost. Random referee would steo in after one or two punches, but the japanese referees know what sakuraba i capable of, when he can´t get the figure four going for a toe hold he manages to switch to a kneebar. The move is very impressive alone, but when adding all the blows he took to the head during this time, it´s even more amazing...

  • I hope he fucking broke his knee, he probably gave saku major brain damage after that shit

  • Greatest comeback in mma history

  • I watch this video once a day.

  • Sakuraba, you're the toughest man ever alive, no words can describe

  • I nearly cried.

  • fucking legend, ufc fanboys can get to fuck. Saku is the defination of "Warrior".

  • Sakuraba is a legend. A true warrior.

  • This video shows why Sakuraba is a legend in MMA!!!!

  • Superb video editing:D Great timing on the music

  • i fucking legend!!! i´m gonna cry with this music!!! Bust Rutten ..." Sakuraba the good of japanese mix martial arts".

  • now that was badass, takes a beating but never lets go of the leg yeah saku

  • Incredible....this what it is all about;never give up,I believe this is the only mma video that has brought tears to my eyes

  • this is a life lesson, never give up

  • this is a true legend. i'm sick and tired of pple giving the status "legend" easily, there should only a handful of them. but mr sakuraba resembles the technique, and most importantly the will power in martial arts. he's one of the toughest pple ever. HE NEVER GIVES UP.

  • The greatest fighter. Loved the rocky theme well suited. This man accomplished so much yet so easy to forget by some people a true hero of mine and legend. SAKURABA!!!

  • A su Edat.... no es le mismo de hace años pero sabe lo que es GANAR .. Submission es su especialidad ... aunk si hubiera sido otro REFERI .. ya hubiera detenido la PELEA .xD

  • i like how he touched gloves

  • Ése janponés se pasó de verga, mira quesoportr todo ese castigo y salir avante, qué mamón!

  • Esa llave la hicimos entre todos y todos soportamos esos golpes, Saku sabe.

  • SAKU YOU ARE MY FUCKING HERO!

  • I love this video, it brings a manly tear to my eye

  • this called "BUSHIDO" spirit...

  • Sakus fights are the best!

  • Definitely looked like he was out a few times there...that was a rough win.

  • talk about heart

  • Saku is the only man I've seen turn his back on opponents (even the Gracies) and be 100% fine with it!

  • Sacuraba is a Legend, Brazil love this mann!

    

  • @sidmac wait you from brazil

  • Comment removed

  • The people who keep saying this is a fixed fight are hiding behind a wall of complacency and denial.

    Politics should never be taken seriously, especially from someone posting it on youtube from a little laptop their mommy bought for them.

  • Íll bet you his knee still HURT now.

  • Haha this shit is SO fixed WWE style

  • @slim0221 Yes cuz Sakuraba's not known for being able to take tons of punishment. And Sakuraba's not known for being the greatest submission fighter in MMA history. Galesic sure took alot of punishment for a fixed fight didn't he? snaps in his foot, ankle and knee that kept him from fighting for a year and a half or so.

  • @panther2552 You can tell Zelg let him take that leg. Japan has so many fixed fights because mma in Japan is dying. they need these WWE comeback fights to get ppl's attention.

  • @slim0221 let him take the leg in what way? It was a very quick basement single which is damn near impossible to stop once he gets shoulder to shin. Soon as Saku dropped back for the heel hook there was a snap in Zelg's ankle, then his foot with the toe told. Even he's said once that happened he just decided to rain down punches because he knew he couldn't walk. He did just that, but Saku held onto the leg and eventually got the kneebar. Zelg's never been a good grappler as it is.

  • @slim0221 Yeah that's why his face is so messed up. Troll. 

  • ill always love saku, he made me start grappling.

  • the music got nothing to do with that , but Sakuraba is fantastic.

  • If that was the UFC, the fight would have stopped a loooonnnggggg time ago XD !!

  • Just incredible!

  • Comment removed

  • wtf just happend?!?!?!??!

  • @DANCINGmomisSOhot Sakuraba show'd that atleast for one more night there was still some of his legendary magic left

  • Saku, is, was and will be, always a legend he just never surrenders.

    He should have retired long time ago, but his iron will won't let him do that, I really feel bad when I read this coments as punchbag etc. Saku in his prime could punch Galestic to sleep if he wanted but he is a grappler in the bottom so now that his body doesn't react as 10 years ago he does what he knows best. I wish people had more respect for this LEGEND.

  • fuckin awesome Saku...heart of a champion

  • That fight would have been stopped in the UFC. Winner.... Galesic!

  • @MrBlizacane That´s why the UFC is gay. Winner.... Sakuraba!

  • 7 dislike must be from Gracie family

  • @bikesportiva why gracie family would dislike an awesome submission? dumb dumb comment dude

  • @bikesportiva epic win!!! HAHA

  • @bikesportiva Nah the Gracies respected him hugely

  • @edtri19 cept for Royce with the roids and Rickson with the "i could easily beat Sakuraba" yet never getting in the ring with him. Royler, Renzo, Ryan and of course Helio spoke of him with respect.

  • @bikesportiva That was pretty funny. But no dislike from Ralek Gracie.

  • Good sub, but he got fucked up in the process ! LOL

  • his head blocking each punch was amazing, .... if those were punches from belfort or someone of that calabre heed be knocked the fuck out

  • @thedivekid78 These days most likely. Then again He dominated belfort back when both were in their primes. and that was back when Vitor had like 30-40 lbs on him.

  • His nickname should be Kazushi "The Punching Bag" Sakuraba.

  • @etagged lol I'll still with his other nicknames. Gracie Hunter, Pro Wrestling Messiah and IQ wrestler

  • @etagged or maybe "the man who can break your body in 4 pieces without throwing a single punch"...

  • @scorcher165 see? a sport is just a sport...if this was a real fight the other dood wouldve been a cripple by now. fighting and sports are two different things

  • Comment removed

  • Kazushi Sakuraba is a testament to the Japanese Warrior Spirit.

  • i liked the music editing the bitches who didnt like it can see the fight without music

  • that was professional

  • damn he can take a beating lol. he didnt have the best record but he sure did have great wins and a great legacy.

  • @TEHWEEZY aye, when you fight the best reguardless of their size advantage your records never gonna be the best.

  • this is why J-mma is a joke

  • @denshaotoko89 why because a legendary fighter was able to weather the storm all the and show for atleast one night why he was the best in the world for a time, while working his opponents leg actually causing three breaks, two before the final sub?

  • the legend.

  • Lmfao! This vid reminds me of some shit I saw on tv on how this guy in black n white was saying about Ali " he may have won the fight but his going straight to the hospital n I'm going dancing with my girl tonight :)

  • @TheUfchink But Galesic's knee was fucked, Saku could at least stand

  • wow .... just wow

  • Wow, Sakuraba really paid for that submission. I agree the music was annoying.

  • Herb Dean would have stopped it after the first face shot

  • That almost seems unfair to take that many shots to the face for so long to get the knee bar and the quick tap. That guy left unscathed. He might want to develop some power in those hands if he wants a career in MMA. That's too many punches to deliver to someone's face without having the person be unfazed by it.

  • @clytnjms Galesic actually has a bit of power in his punches, but there's a few issues here. He was never in position to deliver true power shots. Saku had already snapped somethig in Galesic's foot and ankle before the kneebar. Zelg was throwing the punches while most of his weight was leaning back. And this was no ordinary man he was fighting. Kazushi Sakuraba has shown time and time again that he can take punishment while working his submissions.

  • @panther2552 I don't know panther...I saw Dan Henderson knockout Fedor with one punch from a similiar position and this guy was raining punches on him. Sakuraba is a great fighter yes but I saw Wanderlei knock him out twice or maybe three times even......but maybe your right....I don't know too much about this other guy

  • @clytnjms actually it wasn't similar. Hendo was diving in when he landed the knockout blow, giving him alot of momentum. Saku was knocked out in the third fight with Wandy, 2nd fight he broke his collarbone when Wandy slammed out of a choke. 1st fight was a ref stoppage, Saku wasn't out, but taking damage from the knees (first fight where kicks to downed opp were legalized). Also have to remember Wandy had 30lbs on Sakuraba, while Galesic was maybe 10lbs bigger.

  • @clytnjms his leg was messed up after that fight, he woulda been immobile in a fight to the death and been killed nothings fair in a fight mate

  • why the rocky music

  • @connorlumsden1 If you don't get it, there's no point in explaining it to you.

  • @connorlumsden1 Because he is the Rocky of MMA?

  • Sakuraba was too kind. If this was a street fight he could have dislocated the knee earlier in the fight.

  • Nice fight. But the music sucked.

  • Goodbye Sakuraba... :(

  • i cried..

  • He's lucky he blocked all those punches with his face... otherwise, he might have lost.

  • @lumbanator When you're dealing with the Gracie Hunter, luck has nothing to do with it. It's all skill.

  • @lumbanator lol i dunno id rather take that beating than be out of commission (for a year?)for a fuct up knee.

  • @lumbanator

    head is not face

  • @lumbanator LOL.

  • @lumbanator i think his knee was injured in the first seconds ^^

  • Sakuraba é un mito, assim como o Fedor, Wand, Minotauro, Crocop e cia...

  • honestly i was really disappointed with this video -_-

  • @TheBluntdomer420 yes, mainly because you are an idiot.

  • Sakuraba !! guerrerooooo

  • now that was a great come back win...but Saku also has been that entertaining fighter to watch in his younger days along side my other favorite mma fighter Genki Sudo!

  • Hahah the Rocky music was synced perfectly.

  • nice fight and nice background music!!!!

  • Sakuraba is a Samurai Warrior.

  • fucking epic!

    

  • q cara foda!!!!!!!! mal posso ver seus movimentos e.e

  • love the rocky tune !

  • I don't know I may be retarded or what but at 1:22 I just laughed when I hear the Ending theme from rocky

  • Gallesic did not Stop punching The moment they went to the ground who the hell he think he is Cro Cop? only cro Cop can stop Saku by Strikes from the bottom

  • @Darthymerej he's called lil cro cop because he's a kickboxer from Coratia and the difference is Mirko weighed 225lbs against Saku's 185, while Galesic also weighed 185.

  • @Darthymerej

    Nice He almost got away but he continued punching I don't anything about grapling or Combat sports but I think I should have tried to fight for position more and improve the position to free his foot than continue to blast Saku with strikes Saku is a tough guy not the type that will easily quit with strikes.

  • @Darthymerej saku dominated mirko the whole time, it was sad that he got injured by a lost punch

  • That Galesic guy is ultra supple o_o

  • music maade it epic

  • The I.Q. wrestler. Kazushi was awesome back in the day, and still is. Its just his stand up, though

  • this is to have a heart, to go ahead no matter how hard to hit you, till the lambs until they become lions, to win or death to the end.

    this is all.

  • @Checozapopan quoted

  • @Checozapopan ive got a snnneaaky suspicion english isnt your first language....

  • @TheDopedup Me too...

  • This is the sort of thing from which legends are made!

  • @jonbroster yep, not to mention destroying the Gracie family and their students back when noone else could. fighting elite monsters and beating most of em while giving the one's he did lose to the toughest fights they ever had. Beating the undefeated legend Royce Gracie in a 90 minute match then going on to fight the best heavyweight in the world Igor Vovchachyn to a draw in the same night. hehe sorry but not enough good things can be said about this man to me :)

  • @panther2552 Makes me wanna train with Billy Robinson SO damn bad... That's where Saku got the base and bulk of his repertoire.

  • @clipophile at the snake pit yep. :)

  • @panther2552 :D Hey, have you seen Jake Shannon's site scientificwrestling? He's workin with Mr. Robinson to establish a formal CACC curriculum and ranking system. Check it out!

  • anyone can throw a punch,not everyone can take 30-40 like sakuraba

  • @OHNGAI sorry 80 punchs FUCK

  • good night irene

  • inspiring like mirco cro cop in pride

  • id be twice the man i am now if i had just one of his balls!

    Sakuraba = Legend!

  • Legend

  • Saku will never give up a lock. I've seen him get pummeled for it and lose a fight just cuz he wouldnt give up. he's got some big brass balls

  • Great!

  • Saku is the true meaning of 'BOSS'

  • Sakuraba is a fucking beast

  • How was that not a TKO stoppage??

  • @TheRealJohnnieBlaze because he was working the leg the entire time. from the time saku dropped back for the heal hook there to the kneebar, there were three snaps in galesic's leg. the knee going was the final.

  • @panther2552 Oh my bad, didnt see it the first time. Saki took a lot of damage, much respect due.

  • @panther2552 Not to split hairs, but it wasn't a heel hook, it was a straight ankle (achilles) lock.

  • @clearlynotstefan i stand corrected :)

    

  • Dunno how I never saw this first time round. This was amazing and defo is the greatest sub of all time. Sakuraba has to be in the top 5 mma fighters of all time.

  • sakuraba took a beating... damn. and still came off with that submission. props to galesic too. he did a good job trying to break free for the toehold. it's just unbelievable how saku pulled that off. that's raw skill right there.

  • Saku sabeeee, yu mucho. Es muy groso para este mundo.

  • fuck, Saku, just retire...your greatness deserve some laid back moments of your life...sigh..

  • fuck Saku, just retire...your greatness deserve some laid back moments of your life...sigh..

  • Sakuraba the Great..

  • Galesic's leg was in so many weird positions it made me cringe the whole time.

  • With the Rocky music goin' I almost shed a tear or two...

  • this man is simply amazing and such an inspiration....

  • I mean, Sakuraba taking a beating but being in control the entire time.

  • It's rare to see Sakuraba voluntarily take a beating, but it just shows how beast he is allowing Galesic to do that and be in total control the entire time.

  • man, i miss watching him in his prime.

  • I knew this would be an epic fight, and I knew Sakuraba was lookin for the sub and Galesic would be lookin for the KO... always good to watch 2 finishers.

  • Sakuraba is the best of all time.

  • He snapped his leg 3x according to the post-fight interview. watch?v=qi20qd3BwVc

  • amazing....

  • wtf is up with the piano music?

  • @MrGotee19 perfect song for Saku considering many call him real life Rocky since it is the Rocky theme song afterall.

  • @panther2552 Nah Noguiera is rocky irl - sakuraba is something else

  • @edtri19 just saying. that's what alot of folks call Saku. amazing comebacks and fought more elite monsters than anyone. the only 183lb man who was ever considered a threat against the greatest fighters in the world reguardless of size difference

  • @panther2552 exactly - he was better than rocky
