Man I havent seen a beating like that since someone put a banana in my pants and let a monkey loose on my.

He was rocked he didnt necessarily go limp. It looked like it from the camera angle but it was a quarter second he was out, if he was indeed out.

If anything this video showed how bad reffing can be when not regulated. Sakuraba is probably on his way to being a vegetable thanks to the shit refs in Japan. Sure fights are stopped early occasionally, but at the end of the day a loss is better than death or paralysis. You really want to set MMA back by allowing that one extra punch that seriously injures a fighter?

BTW, that Nover/Bradley stoppage was completely justifiable, he went completely limp. There is no timing how long they go limp before stooping it, it’s as soon as they go limp that you stop a fight.

I started to watch it, but I needed to stop. I’ll watch it later at home, where I can shed a single tear.

Nice work Ben. There will never be enough tributes for Saku.

This is a great highlight (lowlight), and I’m looking for another highlight video: a few years ago, there was a similar Saku HL of his many beatings on youtube, hosted by user fightz420. He no longer has the video up and was less than helpful years ago when I’d asked about the soundtrack, so doubt he’d help locate it. I was coincidentally looking for it yesterday, but had no luck. Anyone know where to find it?

Good job with the m83.

That is just hard to watch

Yea, a video of Sakuraba’s wins would be a lot better.

Great video. I loved the music. But I couldn’t help but think about the dramatic difference between stoppages in old school Pride and even recent Dream events compared to what we see in the UFC and other US based organizations. I’m not saying I like the amount of damage that Saku took in those fights, but at least they were decisive finishes. I really think referees that work at the UFC and other US events can let the fights go a little longer. Just watch any one of the fights in this video and then watch the Nover/Bradley fight. Then tell me Nover did not get a raw deal.

Yeah, wow. Well done but tough to watch. Assuming he’s not showing any signs of traumatic brain injury, he might be the best person to make the claim that MMA doesn’t cause any serious, lasting injuries.

Well done. But you really need to put together another one with his wins and highlights. I got a little morose watching that. One of my favorite fighters of all time getting beating into the mat over and over again.

This guy can take a beating…. Not bad on the video editing

Nice work. The music does make me sad. Any man that can take that much of a beating needs to be celebrated. How many hours did it take to complete this highlight?

Now I feel sad. T_T

Sakuraba is one of the greatest fighters of all time.

Not bad!

…although, I’m not sure about the music.

I shouldn’t judge. It’s a hell of a lot better than what I’m capable of.
