False, GSP would never have accepted the fight.

Well I guess that depends.... Does he get to juice up like everyone else on the Pride roster?

GSP would have taken down Rampage at will. RNC'ed bum Rampage inside 3 minutes.

You’re wrong.
 
SAKU GOAT would have to be forced to accept this match-up, since he would claim No Rush is too 'boring', jus´like Mezger (!?)... and not strong/big enough... Not an ambitious match-up for him who would always look to Dare-2-Be-Great...

No Rush was eazily armbarred/scholed by Hughes...

Imagine SAKU GOAT & his GOAT transitions., go-to-move..

I was hoping you would say "a garbage man" but this will do. :)
 
Saku is one of the fighters that made me obsessed with this sport and I don't like GSP at all but GSP would smoke him. He's too athletic, his fight I.Q is too high and he's too well-rounded. It would be a very boring lopsided decision.
 
Anyone who even thinks Saku has a shot in this one is, well, living in a dreamworld. And Saku is my all time favorite.
 
GSP would WIN, because even prime Sakuraba was a lazy fighter, now if he had the mindset of the modern fight he could have some chance....

Chute Boxe guys told he used to train a little and then go home with a shit load of porn to jack off.... When he was in brasil... He is a warrior trough and trough but he is just like Aleks Emelianenko, lazy... This dudes liked to defy the odds on the ring but not so much in TRAINING. Gomi and Sakurai were just like that too.

What do you mean? Prime GSP could make the LHW lower limit of 186lbs

They actually very much should . it's an amazing accomplishment to retire from combat sports with a functioning brain. Saku will never know what that is like.

It's more amazing to never get punched in the head for a living, which the vast majority of the world can say for themselves.

If your goal is to take as little damage as possible combat sports should be your last choice as a pro athlete. Boasting about having less head trauma in a sport that's all about head trauma is dumb. Anyone in the NBA and soccer could laugh at GSP.

Right? I mean, no one can question how insane and ballsy Saku was... There are maybe a handful of fighters as ballsy as him all-time in MMA but fighting against Georges is a whole other ballgame.

Too bad Saku didn't care to train hard enough to stay in one weight class that no one will ever truly know how good he was.
 
Saku is cool af but GSP would take it.
