Sakuraba vs UFC WWs

[A.S. Deep]

Best version of Sakuraba versus Prime GSP, Wonderboy, Hughes, and BJ Penn (since he was WW champ once) in Unified rules and a cage.

I have no idea who wins this. The only one I'm confident is that GSP UDs Saku. What say you?

Saku > UFC

Pride losers who can’t let go of the past will say Saku subs eveybody. But in reality even Sage KO’s prime Saku. It’s a different game now.

I seriously can't tell if you're trolling or delusional. Hyperbole has a limit, dude.

saku was great in his time
but he never fought at ww until very late in his career
i m confident both gsp and wonderboy easily beat him
50-50 with matt hugues
but i have absolutlely no idea how a fight with penn would go lol, they are both special kind of fighters

Saku/ Penn would be a great match up, but not as good as Saku/ Royce I think since BJ never had the stamina to go 90 minutes.

Saku vs Hughes would look like Royce vs Hughes

BJ wouldn’t need 90 seconds, let alone 90 minutes to take out Saku. What is the delusion going on in here?

bahahaha - okay. to be fair, I think GSP beats Saku because of how far the game has come and because of his physical strength. BJ is from the old school and is nowhere near as strong as GSP.

Saku gets his ass beat

Saku vs Hughes would look like Royce vs Hughes

dude prime saku went to war with vov,randleman and a young rampage
i doubt hugues would have destroyed saku like he did with royce
i could see matt beating him by dec by being stronger but i have no problem thinking that saku would have beating him also

yeah but in a cage with ufc rule it s no more than 25 minutes ;-)
and penn is honestly way more skilled than royce (standing and on the ground)

Finally someone who doesn’t have their head up their ass.

Saku gets his ass beat

With almost certainty but a good chance he finds a way to win by submission or he takes his beating to decision. This is one of the things that makes him so loved.

He KO’s Vitor, Rampage, and Randleman too?
LOL

Saku would beat Hughes and Penn.
He’d lose to some of the best but probably wouldn’t get finished.

Prime Saku was 97-2001. as we all know, the sport evolved a lot between 1997 and 2007.

but let's remember, everyone wanted to see Saku v F Shamrock, and were quite split on who might win. 1999 F Shamrock destroys Hughes and BJ, a lot easier than he beat Tito (which was far from easy, of course).

best Hughes was against Trigg and GSP I - 04ish. best Saku beat a young Newton, a shell of Vitor, and a young Rampage. I'd pick Saku, but barely.

same with BJ Penn.

Prime GSP beats prime Saku. period.

Prime Wonderboy is another 5-10 years after Prime Hughes & BJ. that's 10 years of evolved training past Saku. Wonderboy wins, easy.

@QueenVitor, you're either trying too hard, or you aren't thinking rationally. if you want to debate me point by point, feel free to do so rationally. if all you have is a quippy one liner comeback, save it for your peers.

I agree. Though, he didn't

Sage would definitely KO Igor Vovchanchyn, one of Saku's other infamous opponents. Granted, Sakuraba lost that fight, but he had just had a 90-minute grappling match with Royce Gracie. Also, I'm sure a prime Carlos Newton wouldn't be able to tap Sage. Even though he basically submitted a very strong Matt Hughes, before getting powerbombed. LMFAO!!!
