Sakuraba has the best leg kicks in the history of mma outside of crocop. with the skills he has though he defiantly underachieved in his career. got cocky at the end, got his ass whooped.
I belive i heard the fat lady singing. This is why i love this sport.
“Do you think they’re going to start in the ‘Koala Position’ again?”
HA
Utterly amazing and disappointing end though.
I don’t know what to make of Sakuraba he looks great then he looks like shit. But he is a true warrior, he has been in some great battles.
Sakuraba ruled the Gracies and changed mma forever on his own…..Dont forget that!!
He is also one of the most creative/entertaining fighters in history. I hope that the Japanese can match his greatness again soon.
That ending was so dissapointing
I hope Elvis relished the **** out of that win because if it happened a hundred more times, Sakuraba would have won it each and every time.
In fact I’m not sure what hurt Elvis more; recuperating from those leg kicks or removing the thirty-pound horseshoe from his own ass.
Sakuraba is legend. And this is coming from a BJJ guy since 1993.
wow. what a turnaround.
love this sport!
YES! I fuckin hate Sakuraba. I’m glad he got what he deserved. Got cocky and got his ass kicked.
He may have got cocky but he learned and beat Schembri pretty easily in the rematch..I remember watching this fight live like it was yesterday…was easily considered upset of the year at the time…
Yeah, Saku was putting on a show for his hometown audience. I was surprised that he screwed up and got his butt kicked. Saku got his revenge and destroyed Elvis in Part II.
Funny shit, I just watched Pride25 on Friday. Pretty entertaining event all around. I can only imagine the hype that Schembri must have had coming off that win.
amazing fight.sak faulters in the end.
Damn, I was rooting for Sak. This fight bummed me out… That’s MMA for you, anything can happen in a split second.
sssssooo lucky
but he got cocky with a dog and got bitten serves him right
Saku sporting the James Thomson ears, at least one of his didn’t explode after he attempted the “double shooto”lol
The biggest freak turnaround i ever witnessed…
