He was of course referring to Okami. Did anyone catch this wonderful anecdote from lord Dana on the weekend?
You got to give it to him. He sure knows how to sell bull**** in spades. Bet your life thousands of UFC guppys will be lapping that one liner up. Move over Sakuraba. Okami is in the house!
if a guy with a really deep voice says something on tv over a montage, american people will do and think what he says.
**** dana white. The guys chats so much ****. He has no idea how the fight industry works in Japan. You see what he said about sakuraba. What Dana White doesnt seem to understand is that Sakuraba wasnt forced to fight at 205lbs. Saku wanted to fight at 205. He was never going to accept defeat and move down in weightclass. Pride didnt make him stay at 205lbs. Now look at what Sakuraba said in a recent interview and you see how Dana white knows **** all about Japan.
If Okami had beaten Anderson Silva I would have been inclined to agree him but without that caveat - Skuraba is the greatest that is unless one is discounting Inoki of course.
I just don't understand why Dana has to pretend that everyone who never fought in the UFC either didn't exist or was ****ing ****. It erodes his credibility so badly. Of course Saku is an infinitely greater fighter than Okami ever could be. What exactly is the point of denying that???
