The guy who fought him was in a lose lose fight. If he won, good job, you beat a man with no limbs. If he lost, wtf, you got beat by a guy with no limbs. The fact it went to decision baffles me.
Sakuraba beating 4 Gracies without BJJ was quite an accomplishment.
then you should be a wealthy man by now, good for you. ;-)You are correct, didn't realize that Etihad Stadium was that big. Probably was too worried about the money I bet on Holm that night
Cruz convincing the mma community that he is a top ten p4p fighter and better than Uriah despite having never faced the elite fighters Uriah did whether at 135 or 145, never finishing a single elite opponent even once in his entire mma career unlike Uriah, having actually been finished by Uriah
Also convincing hisself and others that his "footwork" is elite despite it walking him into every hard shot garbrandt threw, and it still resulting him getting out stuck in total strikes by dillashaw.
A lot of marks have been worked hard by he Cruz narrative.
I know, right.That fight would have been 5 seconds long. They had special rules for that fight. He was considered "permanently downed".Under Pride rules the fight doesn't happen.
