Gracie proves NOTHING fighting beat down, brain damaged Sak.

Seriously, does anyone really want to see this? Unlike Royce who has his opponents hand picked only fights special rules and is generally heavily protected, Sakuraba has fought only the top guys since he owned Royce the last time. The toll is obviously much much heavier on Sak than Royce. I can't even watch the Smirnova bout and see Sak taking those punches which afterwards were shown to have caused brain injury. The guy should not be fighting, and I would hate to see the Royce take a win or even a draw against the superior fighter Sak just becasue he is in a horrible state now and should be retired. When Royce fights top guys he is owned full stop.

Lets see how Royce would fare aginst rampage, cro cop or Silva, guys who Sak has faced, not let him sneak in and look good fighting beaten down, permanently brain damaged Sak.

You should have known by now that most Gracies(mainly Royce) can be arrogant pricks. But hopefully Saku wins, because Royce will talk sh*t out of his ass if he wins.

As battered as Sak is nowadays, I still think he'll win this one.

As beat down as Sak is I don't think he is damaged enough for him to say "no I am not fighting anymore", nor is he banged up enough for the CSAC to deny him a license to fight which I say he is just getting old, but i see him winning this one as well

I think Sakuraba has something left to offer the world of MMA, his move to Chute Boxe shows that he is willing to adapt to remain competitive.

Despite the fact that he got worked by chute boxe's Wanderlei, he recognized the fact that their style could add another dimension to his game.


The fight with Gracie should be interesting to say the least, Gracie got mashed badly in his last outing, Saku hasn't lost since June of 2005 (Arona). Unless Gracie finds a little bit of stand up I think the fight will go the same way as their first.
