Man, brutal match up for Saku. If he were younger, he might have had a less slight chance.

I think it’s time to be a teacher.

I was surprised that Sakuraba didn’t try to take him down. He got rocked.

hahah i love how he pulled him away from the ropes and smashed his face…. the refs are doing no favours for Saku …. they always allow him to take an ass whoopin

Early stoppage. Sakuraba was just getting warmed up. I think he was trying to let Manhoef tire himself out by using his nose and face to absorb those hammer fists. He’s wiley like that.

Terrible stoppage. Ref could have spared saku the last three shots, when he went flat and was just bouncing against the mat.

Imagine that under PRIDE rules: MM wanted to trow that kick, but had to settle for GnP! What a beast!

Beat like a red headed step child.

Sakuraba made Melvin look better than he is. What was Sakuraba’s plan coming into this fight? He was asking Melvin to knock his head off, covering so well on his right side, but leaving his left side completely open, which is Melvin’s power kick/back foot (right leg). That’s what initially rocked Sakuraba.

It was pretty cool though, when Melvin grabbed his leg like a child, pulling him over and away from the ropes to only worsen the ass beating.

Another DREAM mismatch.

Manhoeff vs. Silva who would win?

plz retire Saku, don’t go Ken Shamrock on us.

He never saw the knee, he was out b4 the hammer fists.

ufc needs knee’s to the head on the ground

Wow, Sakuraba was totally bitched in there. Complete lack of aggression on his part, just waited for Manhoef to kick his ass. Pathetic display from a formerly great fighter, definitely time to hang it up.

If Dan Miragliotta were the ref, they would have gone to the second round. Fist to face is intelligent defense.

Manhandled by Manhoef

Sakuraba way too old, and he fights at heavier weight classes than he should be, Sakuraba looks middleweight to me. He should retire, he’s way past his prime.

deffinately a late stoppage, good performance from manhoef though

Wow, after that kick that put Saku on the ground it was just brutal to watch. Melvin just kept throwing bombs at Saku….he just got manhandled. Maybe its time to quit. Painful to watch him go through that beating.

Great Fight. wanna see what kinda ground game he’s got on a younger BJJ guy. But still great fight

This fight never should have happened. Stupid and dangerous matching-making and Sakuraba knew it. He did not want to take this fight and said it several times and joked that he didn’t even want to show up.

Despite all this he did show up and did fight. He knew how dangerous the fight was but he fought anyways for the fans and because he’s a true warrior we should all respect.

He did not want to even be in the tournament in the first place and he was right. At this point in his career he should only have super fights against fighters like Rickson, Royce, or Kiyoshi Tamura- Not be fed to young destructive beast like Melvin.

Poor saku took too much of an unnecessary beating then. The refs love giving Saku every chance, but even then it was a bit too late of a stoppage. Manhoef is a beast. Love the knees on the ground. All MMA should have that rule.

I hope Saku retires or they give him one last fight vs a can so he can go out with a win.

Is it just me or did the announcer say something about Aquaman right at the start? (00:07) lol Anywho yeah that was kinda fucked up….if the shoe had been on the other foot, it would have been stopped as soon as the kick landed.

honestly guys we all predicted the outcome of this fight within seconds of hearing these names. look how sakuraba performed against gracie, that says it all he was obviously thrown in there as a stepping stone for manhoef. saku looks so sucked up and old compared to two years ago.

Saku was broken my Wand. Melvin didn’t even hit him in the head with the high kick, he caught Saku on the arm and it still knocked him down. You know you should retire when you’ve got both kneees taped from your sack down to your ankles

“im sorry..but japanese fighters are just awful!”

dave, do you know anything about MMA?

That japanese fighter beat 4 Gracies, Current UFC Champion Quinton Rampage Jackson, and UFC Champions Kevin Randleman, Carlos Newton, Vitor Belfort, and Ken Shamrock. He’s old and outclassed by younger, stronger fighters now- but show some respect. It’s like watching one bad game of Jordan on the Wizards and saying that he’s “awful” at basketball.

Hey ref, WTF? Did Manhoef have to cave in the side of Sakaraba’s head with a damn bat before you decided to stop it?

When Manhoef pulled him by his leg to the center and wailed on him with that huge right hand he was basically out. That should have been the end of the fight.

Fire the ref for endangering the fighter.

Aongie!
