lol
says sakuraba is one dimensional, but trashes on him for fighting one dimensional guys? come on
And yes, some guys are fighters, adrenaline junkies that don't know when to stop. He should have stopped way before , but he kept going. Has my respect
You say that to laud or discredit him?? It was the most phony KO I've ever seen.
If I recall correctly....
Didn't the Gracies invite him to Brazil to train and just GAVE him a Black Belt because they were like "Yeah... You're already there...."
LOL @ you shertards talking one-dimensional.
Most fighters today are one dimensional.
Conor = strike, strike, strike
Ronda = armbar, armbar, armbar,
Adesanya = strike, strike, strike
Khabib = dryhump, dryhump, dryhump
Holloway = strike, strike, strike
Ngannou = strike, strike, strike
Cyril Gane = strike, strike, strike
Props to Sakuraba! His fights were amazing to watch.
Terrible striking
26:17 record
Good from 1996-2000 against 1 / seldom 2 dimensional guys
Got figured out in 2001
Never won against top competition again for 14 years and got finished 13 times
Man I wish they fought
Real recognize real.
how was it phony? seemed like a good win for saku
The revisionist history is strong here and going to fight finder only does that. You understand he was a natural 185lber, entering fights around that weight and upwards of almost 200lbs.Terrible striking

A total legend. He did what he did with barely any striking.
It was phony because Shamrock was obviously not out, probably not incapacitated either. He ate a strong punch, that's all. Imagine if every fight were stopped when that happened!
