Remember when Sakuraba challenged Rickson

Remember when PRIDE screwed Guy Mezger out of a decision so Saku could wrestle Royce Gracie?
 
Rnzo is the most accomplished Gracie not Rickso
 
and Rickson turned it down

Saku by armbar.
Rickson only fought cans.
 
That was one of the biggest paydays ever offered in mma at the time. That was HUGE money. Rickson turned it down due to ego. Saku had a legit chance of beating him.
 
Rickson was over 40 at this point. He saw the other Gracies get beat by Saku and knew there was a very good chance he would lose.

He was dealing with the death of his son , nothing to do with ego . Rickson is a true martial artist , Family is everything to him. to this day if they were to battle Rickson would come out on top, no doubt whether that is metamoris or MMA... the man is a legend with nothing to prove
 
gracie hunter would have slayed another

Remember when it was supposed to go to a overtime round and Ken lost his shit and pulled Guy out of the fight thereby screwing Guy out of a possible victory ?
 
there is probably 25-30 people on this forum that actually remember that
