This is the MMA fight video of Kazushi Sakuraba versus Masakatsu Funaki at K-1 Premium 2007 Dynamite!!

The Gracie Hunter really needs no introduction but most American fight fans are unfamiliar with the ex-Pancrase superstar Funaki. Funaki has had wins over Bas Rutten, Vernon White, Ken Shamrock and Frank Shamrock during his 50+ MMA fight career. It has been 7 years since his last mixed martial arts fight which ended in a 12 minute long loss to the great Rickson Gracie.

Thanks for posting this fight… Saku may be on the decline but he is still a competitive fighter and always keeps things interesting

Fighters like Sakuraba would never flourish in the UFC, the whole UFC atmosphere would steal what’s special in fighters like him, it would limit his dimension. Every time I watch the UFC I sense the atmosphere leads to a gory fight. But When I watch Japanse (was pride) matches I see the fighters much more relaxed, and they can just fight, not try to feed the audience a blood bath, even though things got very gory often… it felt more of a natural path not a force show.

Wow…. look how bandaged up Saku is… It will be sad when he retires soon… Win or loose he always gave a show; He’ll always be legendary, maybe not amongst the American crown but defenately in “the know” crowd.

Thanks a million Saku, glad to have seen him fight, I doubt there will be any fighters like him.

Funaki has one hell of a tan, K-1 crowd is shit, I miss pride.

hate or love UFC it is what it is. there are some things i would change, for example the “no knees on downed opponents” rule, which i think severely limits a fight as well as some other small things. but by and large UFC is better than no MMA at all so we have to be somewhat grateful. hopefully M1 takes over the role Pride used to have… if the UFC people had any brains at all they would have run a seperate Pride organization in Japan, instead of snuffing it out completely. UFC’s roster is too filled with stars to only throw shows every 2 months. there needs to be a UFC channel with constant fights around the clock, or for god’s sake make a deal with ESPN.
