Dana White says Kazushi Sakuraba could have been the greatest fighter to come out of Japan but the promoters ruined him

“I’m a huge Sakuraba fan. The problem with the Sakuraba story is, Sakuraba should have fought at 170 pounds instead of doing all these Japanese freak show fights where they got him destroyed by guys who were two weight classes heavier than him. So, it goes unanswered whether Kazushi Sakuraba could have been the greatest fighter to ever come out of Japan. The Japanese ruined him!

“It’s just like any other sport that starts out in the beginning. Guys that were great that you try to compare ‘em to different eras and, you know, like I told you — (I’m a) huge Sakuraba fan and it’s unfortunate that his career wasn’t handled in the right way where we could have found out if this guy was possibly the best fighter ever in Japanese history and I don’t disagree with you at all that he was a huge superstar and definitely put, you know, it on the map, not only in Japan but in the rest of the world.”

Havde egentlig ikke rigtigt bemærket det, men det er sgu da ikke et helt tosset card

[Anto1400]

Ja der er faktisk et par solide navne. Jeg glæder mig især til at se Uno og Aoki.

Hvem har set stævnet - nogle kampe der kan anbefales?

[Anto1400]

Jeg har set nogle af kampene:

Spoiler: Vis

Saku's kamp var sørgelig og han blev bare ydmyget. Det var ikke ret sjovt at se på.

Takeshi vs Uno var rimmelig underholdene, Takeshi har en underlig stand up stil der gjorde at det blev en akavet kamp. Den slutede med en fed KO og den skal man i hvert fald se. Selvom det var lidt sørgeligt at se Uno blive slået ud.

Kawajiri vs Hansen var ikke ret underholdene og ingen af dem så vildt imponerende ud. Hansen så godt ud stående, men begik en fejl og Kawajiri udnytede den.

Aoki var aldrig rigtig i problemer og vandt med en virkelig nasty sub.

Jeg har kun set de fire øverste kampe og af dem vile jeg anbefale Aoki vs Hansen og Takeshi vs Uno.
