Kazushi Sakuraba
Kazushi “The Gracie Hunter” Sakuraba is the Japanese pro wrestler who became Pride’s biggest star by beating four members of the Gracie family, including Royler, Renzo, Ryan and Royce, whom he outlasted in a 90-minute fight in 2000.
Wanderlei Silva then beat him three times, but he remained a national hero in Japan, fighting into the 2010s for DREAM and Rizin. He was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2017. CagePotato covered his late-career fights and his place in MMA history.
