@N8iveprez wow that's silly and disrespectful considering no Sakuraba then no Jason Miller. Sakuraba is Jason's hero and he patterned his style after the man. It's even why Miller has the orange streak in his hair.
Nothing compares to watching PRIDE when Saku would enter the stadium and the Japanese people would go completely crazy!! A national champion, pure, plain and simple. Sakuraba will go down in history as a true champion, NEVER FORGOTTEN!
@bikerboy91 his tribute to the road warriors, he wore alot of masks and costumes of other pro wrestlers during his entrances. one of his cornermen came out as Animal, while he was Hawk. He's also come out with Big Van Vader mask, The Great Muta and Razor Ramon.
Love PRIDE's opening theme, personally. Any time I hear that I get so pumped up for fights.. loved when Takada used to drum along with it and them introducing every fighter during the song.
a couple months later Royce and Saku did have a rematch witch Royce winning by decision and being caught using steroids for the fight. then being suspended for the remainder of his fighting license.
I love this guy! Although I think he wont fare so well in the UFC, there is no doubt in my mind that he will be trouble for most of the guys in the division. Never count Saku out
he's 40 now so really he shouldn't fare well now. but he was a UFC tournament champ. And in the UFC he wouldn't be fighting at LHW but at Middleweight which he naturally weighs without having to cut. in his prime he most like submits anderson silva, considering silva's toughest opponents are wrestlers and he's never face a submission fighter the calibur of Sakuraba, while Saku has face other great strikers such as Vitor, Cro Cop, etc.
LOL I remeber seeing something about this in the comedy skit Batsu game and never really understood what it was about. now I get it. LOL Hard Gay.. wtf!
THE GREEN MIST~! is still an awesome moment. Too bad that by the end, Saku's knees were actually in worse shape than Muta's, as hard as that is to believe.
It's been so long, I think I got it off limewire or something ages ago. If you have a gmail account or something I could just email the file, only 3.7 meg
I dont care what anyone says sakuraba went through a lot of battles in his mma career, good battles with good fighters, like silva, jackson, randleman cro cop. For people to say he sucks, these people know nothing about mma.
@panther2552 Agreed! Its even more amazing when you consider the fact that Saku could of cut to LW or WW, but chose to fight guys who outweighed him by like 30 or 40 pounds.
It's different, Fighting is also a business. Entertaining the audience = $ for the business meaning more of a chance you'll be asked to fight again and also he enjoys it so. I love watching him
awesome video!! man,...this brings back great memories!!! it seems like so long ago!! what happened to him,...was his last fight when he got knocked out by vandy?
What was that? Japan pro wrestling entrance?
