Why do you feel the need to lash-out with such vitriol? Pride beat you as a kid? Pride take your girl (in front of your friends)? So you think because it wasn't "sanctioned or regulated by any recognized outside athletic commission." that all the fights were fake? Lame and demonstrably false.

i hear it all the times, Fedor was not great. i also hear people "sream", that Bruce Lee, was a nobody....

Now, this was a fight for us old-school warriors---Fedor is the Greatist of all time, prove me wrong, using mma-math----Here is Sakuraba - Beating Rampage, easy, when Both were in their prime..What this shows me, Sakuraba was a BEAST.

It was a work Pride said they would bring him back and pay more if he lost

It’s not even an old schooler fight. BMI watched this live but in mma terms you can watch anything from anybody through all stages of there careers.

Sakuraba was a true warrior and Igor and cro cop couldn’t finish him.
In his day he lost to Wanderlei Igor and cro cop noguiera. Elvis and you can include arona in there for a sheer toughness test. But was still past his best days. There are few who emphasize what mma was and should be today than Saku.
Kevin holland is the chrrent saku but not as great but he will get there mentality or cowboy the previous one.

What's this got to do with Fedor ? Or Bruce Le ? Or Rampage Jackson ?

One of Saku's last prime performance

I remember before I could get Pride ppv's I had to order the VHS' online and waiting and waiting for them to arrive without looking online to see the results. One time I just had to see the results but I didn't have internet at the time. So I went to the mall where they had computers for the public in kind of a high traffic area and there were mobs of people waiting for their turn. Finally it was my turn. I sat down and someone had taken the ball (remember there were balls on the mouse?) someone had taken it out but I wasn't going to wait in line again because if you moved the mouse the right way slowly you could get to where you need to go aka search bar etc.

So I finally get to the search and I google Pride....well I had forgot to add the FC or fighting championship part and it led me to this gay pride site where there's dude's holding hands and basically it was a gay rights page. There's like 15 people behind me snickering as I fumble to get back to the search bar and the mouse just wouldn't do it. The ball was there, you had to put it in and move it a certain way and it just wasn't going. Everyone was like talking behind me, and I was really jacked at the time, wearing a tank top and looking kinda rugged so i'm sure that added to the confusion. I'm from a tiny hick town, so it only adds to the wtf. Anyway, I couldn't get off the page and just got up with my head down and walked away as people kinda laughed.

I don't have a point besides i'm a huge Sakuraba fan and for me he was the most interesting fighter in Pride and my all time favorite fighter. If it wasn't for Sakuraba I wouldn't have that funny story. I watched him in the UFC before that but he was just so dynamic on the ground with a beautiful low John Smith style single leg (wrestling and Judo was my life at the time) and I remember this card because it was on ppv and loaded with awesome fights. I still have the dvd. I also used to order ppv's and record them on VHS as they happened. I got like 300 VHS' and tons of mma dvd's I can't bring myself to throw away, despite the fact that I don't have a VHS player and they probably don't work anymore.

Fun story bro, i had a good laugh picturing you with the mouse lol
