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

His fight against Joachim Hansen is very complete in terms of mma. They fought everywhere and was very competitive from start to finish.

Was a 160lber for sure. Prime Diego vs prime Sakurai for 160lb championship
he always came into the ring soft and puffy. If he was entering MMA today, he would probably fight at 145. And he'd be fairly short even there.
 
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.

That was the smallest Sakurai has ever looked. He danced weight classes a bit in Japan but in 'Murica he wasn't right for welterweight.
 
That was fucking brutal. Thanks for the vid!


I just finished watching him clobber Trigg too:

It's always nice seeing Trigg being finished
