I think he is uglyyyyyyy almost as bad as Wallied. I think his career may be over though. No one can keep taking the injurys he is taking and keep coming back early and continuing to beat his body. Not only that he is coming off of a losing streak, then he goes in there hurt and has a bad showing agianst a guy that obviously was just there for paycheck/to say he was in there with Sak.
I think He is or was one of the best guys that has let his body be abused by Pride and Prowrestling and is paying the price. Think of how your Knee is Ace now picture every part of your body feeling like that before you step in the ring with a Vanderlia Silva or Ninja or Kevin Randelman, and by not flying he limits his chances of fighting in an organization where he could get fights in a 180 or 175 pound weight class close to where he belongs. I will say this about him Until Wanderlia I an II I thought he got alot better in each fight.
Originally posted by JDenz Well at least on the mat he is. I don't think he is so smart for taking fights when he is hurt and for fighting guys way heavier then him.
That is true but Holyfield isn't going in hurt. My basic point is Sak is hurting his long term potential. If Yoshida turns out to be the real deal his popularity might go way down. I hope that everything works out for him.
I like his attitude and the fact that he's beaten so many quality opponents even though he doesn't match many of them pound 4 pound. I've only seen him fight Conan Sivera which was awesome. A quick question. Whats the go with UWFI? Is it real, it looks real and they seem to hit (all be it with open hands). I just read something recently that suggested it wasn't. If it isn't it fooled me.
Fighting someone heavier means little in a streetfight, but a great deal in controlled situations.
Sakuraba proves that he doesn't quit, but not competing with an injury doesn't make him a quitter.
As for heavier guys, he's getting challenging a wider group of people to show what he's made up of. From fighting faster, smaller people to people who could dish out a blow.
