You said "he has no claim for #1", which leaves out at least 2-10 of top10 p4p all time. He has no say in top10 p4p all time either.
I agree he doest and usually when hes not in my top 10 I get a few people talking ****. TBH I dont rate Royce, F.Shamrock, Rutten any of those guys that high. I respect what they did but compared to the modern day fighters they just dont stack up.
Sakuraba is an mma legend, but it's time for him to hang em up. This fight looked more like an exhibition than anything.
He would not be dominating; he would either be fighting at 185 or 170 if were being really generous. Either way guys like Silva and GSP would be nightmares for Sak; he would be a top fighter, but he would not be champ, let alone dominate.
