I've never seen A Sakurai fight. Any suggestions?

[fortheo]

Despite being an MMA fan for over a decade now, I'm ashamed to say that I've never seen Hayato Sakurai fight. I have his fights against Trigg and Aoki on my to watch list. What are some other Sakurai fights that you suggest I watch?

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Yes, watch one.

 

[VanMMA]

His KO of Mac Danzig was sweet.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

He straight up clobbered mac danzig. Also watch his fight with yves edwards.

[Chivas GDL]

Just don't watch his fight with Matt Hughes. It's pretty sad, but Hughes was a beast back in the day with crazy top game. "Mach" did rock Hughes with a right hand that put him straight on his butt, but he ran in, Matt scooped him up, and slammed him to the grand.

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

omg i totally forgot he fought the knockout artist, olaf alfonso LOL

a few more olaf highlights:

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Hey im sorry just a joke dont kill me.

Die.

Scum.

 

[fortheo]

Holy shit....the way his head was bobbling on the way down.

His KO of Mac Danzig was sweet.

Just watched the fight and It was fun overall: Sakurai had some Very solid leg kicks, nice bursts on the feet where he looked like he'd kill an elephant, a nice judo hip toss, a surprisingly effective jab and this finish:

I also think I saw Matt Humes (Mighty mouse's coach) in his corner? Damn, Matt has been around forever.

Like a boss.

like a savage

At one time, he was generally accepted as P4P #1.

He was at one time generally accepted as the best MMA had to offer.

Watch all of his fights. He's had hang ups, and he won't go down as the best ever in any given division.

But, at one time, he was generally regarded as the best. And when that man was at his best, he was a pleasure to watch.
