Brian Sitton fk lol man ufc fighters should stop calling them a fighter lol

total insanity Igor had 50pounds over Sakuraba and was a KO artist, he had like 40 wins and two losses and Saku STILL lasted 15 minutes before his corner threw in the towel in the pause before overtime, Saku was not stopped in the actual fight so he fought 105minutes that night, practically a whole UFC maincard

Brian Sitton what the fuck seriously?

Nick Diaz yup, he rested for around forty minutes then got back out there and fought until his body gave out from exhaustion

Brian Sitton I always hated when people skipped over Sakuraba as an all time BEAST. He was always going for it period. Igor knocks dudes dead with haymalers that are 300lbs. That guy is built 5'8" natural HW 230lbs. Huge big boned Ukrainian striker from hell. After a 90 min fight with Royce Gracie.

he was a natural 185'er dont get it confused with the ufc weight system

@@mmaforever594 He still would be a middleweight fighting heavyweight.....that's two weight classes above him

I truly believe if prime Sakuraba fought Jbj, he might win. He's such an iq fighter he'd throw jbj rhythm off like he did everyone.

Bruce Central Light i’m sorry jon jones would still kill this man

@@TheRealNoobster bro

54NELA Like that one guy said, he wasn't hunting Gracie's, they were hunting him.

Gracie killer was Wallis ishmail. Named so for his victories over them in bjj.

ralek gracie beat him,just saying

wema125 but after what point did that even matter? sakuraba already legitimized his legacy. this is to commemorate his legacy, not to reignite a war that has long past.

yep, Ralek Gracie at 24 and heavier beat a 44 yo Sakuraba, who didn't train for the fight much because of a broken leg. by decision and after a weird ref restart that changed positions when Saku was on top with a double wristlock.

He put his own custom belt around Wanderlei’s waist. LEGEND.

Sakuraba was THE eptiome of a fighter, somewhat humble on the other hand very extoverted, fougth anyone etc pp the list goes on, just pure japanese legend.

He didn't requested special rules for his fights and actually accepted those ridiculous rules from his opponents.

Didnt do roids? Cmon now

@@AlanGonzalez-ev6ur how Tf did he do roids?

John Doe very much a Japanese equivalent of prime BJ Penn

EVO6 more like real life version of goku

John Doe 90 minutes against Royce then fought Igor (can't spell his last name)

Yee fought before pride in early ufc, cro cop, wandy a couple of times, Melvin manhoef, rampage, arona, Newton, shamrock, then just kept going after pride too in other organizations, and might still do grappling matches. Dude sacrificed his consciousness so many times and his body for mma, dam right ufc better be putting respect on sakurabas name

And many of those badass dudes in a tournament format meaning multiple fights in one night vs dudes who outweigh him by at the very least 15-20 pounds, except Royce. Goddam

They forgot they BJJ from where and who teach they... They learn from japan basicly JUDO .... So they come in the country wheere BJJ basicly found wkwkwkkww

@@volgsivorsky8796 stroke?? In my country stroke is a paralytic disease so i dont understan what you mean...

Lol

yeah his channel is awesome. love me some persistent man lol

NinjaLifestyle SAKU39

NinjaLifestyle he does?

NinjaLifestyle O

He doesnt. Stop using his name

JLBbesthy well said man

Sakuraba, the true warrior

Belfort was murdering Sakuraba but he broke his hand. Proof is Akiyama easily destroyed Saku and Belfort killed Akiyama.

Werent cro cop and fedor active at that time. In that case igor wouldnt be the best heavyweight but still that doesnt take anything away from kazushi

@Cody Garbrandt i highly doubt that.

@@HM-hd7up in 2000 crocop was still competing in K1 kickboxing and Fedor hadn't yet bursted onto the pride scene. The status as it was at that moment where Sakuraba fought Igor he was on top. Mark Coleman however be Igor after the Sakuraba fight reclassifying the hw rankings once again.

kazukikid and the most entertaining entrance to the ring ever, sir

the gracies were cowards fought in pride ufc with Japanese packages that they choose at their convenience they never had the eggs to fight the graces were cowards fought in pride ufc with japan packs that they chose at their convenience never had the eggs to fight in the pride with elite fighters as hunter gracie did (sakuraba), this Japanese fought with those who put him in the ring, had the balls to face elite wrestlers like, crocop, silva, rampage jackson, .Kevin Randleman and many of the best fighters of the pride ... while the gracie only fought with those who requested the pride to fight and they always gave them japoneces packages that made them the most boring fights of the pride, the only elite that faced the gracie went to sakuraba and this Japanese, it was their worst nightmare, the gracie a cowardly farce and without pride, if so good they were? Why did you face the same Fedor Emelianenko? There were no eggs, right? fucking fakers gracie them, learn from sakuraba that I fight with the elite of the famous pride fc in the pride with elite fighters like hunter gracie did (sakuraba), this Japanese fought with those who put him in the ring, had the balls to face elite wrestlers like, crocop, silva, rampage jackson, .Kevin Randleman and many of the best fighters of the pride ... while the gracie only fought with the ones they asked the pride to fight and they always put them in japan packages that made them the most boring fights of pride, the only elite that faced the gracie went to sakuraba and this Japanese, was his worst nightmare, gracie are a cowardly farce and no pride, if so good they were?

@@SandraGomez-ly7rw lol

Real Samurai Spirit.

@@TheFakuza true

agree. they trash compare to him.

@Devon R B yeah, he knocked down Cro Cop, won Rampage and Randleman by submission, knocked out Ken Shamrock,... i'd like to say he would throw Conor if they ever been in a fight

Devon R B well you do know Ronda is a girl and taking her out wouldn’t be that impressive

This is the best comment ever!

ah come on ronda shut up people like sonnen saying that judo doesnt work on mma

One man by the name Kazushi Sakuraba single-handedly exposed the entire multi-generational Gracie family. Sakuraba is an absolute legend!

before that fight in promo he called him lucky extremely lucky :D and during that fight sakuraba almost broke renzo arm dislocating elbow :D

@@NostalgicMem0ries it's called Catch Wrestling bro #THEIQWRESTLER

Funny seeing how they fight in a japanese style of fighting just changed

They forgot that they learn their style from japanese

Sakuraba proved he was better than the Gracie family.

Sakuraba- the warrior

you said it brother

One man by the name Kazushi Sakuraba single-handedly exposed the entire multi-generational Gracie family. Sakuraba is an absolute legend!

For Renzo to say Saku is the Japanese version of the Gracie family is complimenting himself and is actually an insult to Saku as Saku beat multiple Gracies.

@@silveriver9 You are not speaking for either Sakuraba or Gracie. For me to counter your argument I would have to insult Sakuraba, in his stead I will insult you. Take your moronic low IQ opinion and shove it up your asshole.

Yeah Bee This guy is the real deal. The real G.O.A.T no joke.

That is fucking insane dude and no steroids either man was molded by the gods I hate to see when silva gave him those dirty knees to the back of the head shit was dirty as hell

publius maximus wandy was a total asshole but tried acting like he was nothing but kind.

I honestly think he could have won the fight if it wasn't for those stupid rules. If the fight against Royce Gracie was a normal one, he would have definitely won quicker and could have been fresher against Igor.

One man by the name Kazushi Sakuraba single-handedly exposed the entire multi-generational Gracie family. Sakuraba is an absolute legend!

Connor cuts to featherweight and is a huge man in that division. Saku didn't cut weight. least not till he was in his 40s. Not knocking Connor, just keeping it in perspective.

lol Suki will kimura Conor all day long if they ever fought in their prime

You know it's illegal to fight out of weight class in US right? I mean not defending the guys but that was part of all the regulations that were stamped down on MMA in United States so UFC could be PPV again instead of VHS in the porn section. Pride was Japan that's why you could fight out of weight they got Rizin FC ran by them same dudes and same shit happens

@@Tom-qz8xw his next level striking didn't work against khabib.. and sakura was way way more innovative than khabib.. whom do you see fighting non stop for 90 mins ?

Sakuraba fought for 90 minutes conor gets tired after 15 he’d get smacked easily

agreed. it's a badass nickname. Always preferred it over 'the Gracie Killer"

CoachMikesFilmRoom Well FUCKING SAID!!! People forget that.....

Somewhere out there Sakuraba is smoking a packet and not giving a fuck about the hall of fame.

-RRRRRRRRRRRRABAAAAAAAAA*

+Spencer Martinez And Dont forget it was a draw... with the then considered best HW of the world... the towel was thrown as takada adviced him to not keep taking innecessary damage... saku was the reason Vovchanchyn was spent and burn when he fought Coleman, that cost him the Grand Prix title... who fights the best HW in the world after 90 minutes with a former legend... And the fight... All vovchanchyn's damage was near the end... it was considerable that is why it was a draw but the majority of the fight wow he was taked down and controlled by saku with quick singles and smart ground and pound... if that doesnt speak for the caliber saku displayed that night nothing will...

Nah, I disliked the video because they dared to mention Connor as one of the greatest, cmon

1 dislike mine

As of May 2020, 124 Gracie family members didnt like this video

One of those completely delusional “compliments.”

There was No Other Greater Warrior Than Kazushi Sakuraba 🐯✊🏻🐯✊🏻🐯🇯🇵🐯🤼‍♂️🐯

@@williamjudge8722 It took a whole new generation of Gracies to finally beat Kazushi, not sure about your statement

@@masterevict5214 I think he was saying Renzos compliment was delusional.

The Greatest

Joshua Loveless ok mma hipster

It's not hipster to think PRIDE was better than the UFC. The sport of mma is much better today; essentially, we get an event every week. But PRIDE, especially 2003-07 PRIDE, was better than any UFC.

Name one fixed fight, aside from Coleman/Takada. No speculation, because I'll know when you're full of shit. Face it. That's a myth. In fact, the UFC had more fixed fights than PRIDE lol As for roids..... Let them roid.

Joshua Loveless how do you figure? The rules yes. I did like the 10 min first round and the stomps were cool but the skill has progressed so much in the later eras. The fighters now are so much better.

Saku deserves his own wing in the Hall of Fame.

I think they only meant in the UFC. That match between masters Helio Gracie and Masahiko Kimura was insane.

@@Norbsishere Kimura was the real master. Helio got humiliated.

You know Snakepit exists in the US, right? They do CACC wrestling

@@spacecadet8843 There is also scientific wrestling started by Jake Shannon(also a disciple of Billy Robinson just like Joel Bane). And I know people may laugh but you could learn catch wrestling THROUGH PRO WRESTLING. Since pro wrestling evolved from catch it just that it is a STAGED form of catch made for entertainment. But if you know grappling you could then apply it for a real fight. Look at Sakabura he ALSO LEARNED CATCH THROUGH PRO WRESTLING. He started as a pro wrestler then later a mma fighter and last a SUBMISSION GRAPPLER.

I ask Shayna Baszler(catch wrestler) on her youtube channel(Baez) about whether Bart Vale is qualified to teach grappling although he only learned it through pro wrestling(just like Sakabura). She said that she learned CACC through Billy Robinson and Josh Bartnett. Same for pro wrestling. And she said THERE WASN'T MUCH DIFFERENCE IN THE TECHNIQUES SHE LEARNED FOR EITHER ONE. I asked her on her channel about whether Askren vs Paul was a work (staged) or not.

And here are some pro wrestlers that I believe could survive in a submission grappling match. Leyla Hirsch(she knows freestyle wrestling ie catch without submission. Plus she learned her catch submission from pro wrestling. Watch Leyla Hirsch vs David Starr and see how it resemble catch wrestling), Jake Gallagher(He was trained in the famous Snake Pit Wigan-THE ORIGINAL SNAKE PIT. And won MMA fights), Zach Sabre Jr(If you saw him in pro wrestling you would be amazed at his catch style pro wrestling), William Regal(his wrestling coach was trained by Billy Robinson CATCH/pro wrestler).

Did you see him fight in Japan or in America?

such a epic video aye man i was hyped as watchin it first time

I'm curious how did you learn about Saku?

Hahaha bro u only said shit! First BJJ was and is the best martial art in the mma... and Sakuraba was a mma figther and not a wrestler practner cause he knew kimuras, leg locks, arm locks, gard defense,triangle, how to pass all position on the ground . He knews bjj, wrestling, judo and he was a strong and great atlet! Do you want to compare wrestling beetwen bjj? Watch dan severn vs royce gracie

@@fepratudo6165 No he practice Catch Wrestling which is older than BJJ and have submission like Kimura, neck crank, legs lock...,,,

@@fepratudo6165 he's a Catch Wrestler and Amateur Wrestler, not a BJJ guy nor a Judoka, if you wanna see Wrestling vs BJJ, watch Sakuraba vs Royce

that was amazing, but even more so to me was the fact that he came out for the 2nd round and fought Igor Vovchachyn, the top HW in the world to a draw in regulation, before being to exhausted to go into overtime. 105 minutes of fighting against two great legends.

I perfectly agree. Against Igor Vovchachyn was right next 90 min crazy fight... Amazing.....

Oh she's a legend like it or not.

Yea I agree with John she may of folded but she put Women fighting on the map in the west so like it or not she will always be a legend now.

@joah45 cry me a fuckin river. Your hate doesn't change reality. Go pound sand and accept it.

i dont like ronda , but she is a legend and an inspiration for so many woman , she draw mma for woman into existance

Mistake, he meet UFC early in the first and only time Ufc goes to Japan (UFC JAPAN VS CONAN SILVERA)

Dude, Saku was a catch wrestler.
