    IMO anyone would be better than the french, I just looked at his record right now, and he had only 1 fight at that moment against an unknown featherweight .....I think many Class B names would want a fight with Sakuraba at the time......someone like DAiju Takase for example, just a random example...

    Had Takase had a Pride fight before then? Only really remember him from the Silva fight

    considering some of the fights in Pride like Gracie Vs Yoshida 1, If the Yakuza really wanted to fix a fight to make some cash it would just happen and it would be business as usual. Vitor not fighting is more likley than a fix. I'm not saying that there weren't a lot of fixed fights in Pride. I just don't think Belfort Sakuraba was one of them.

    Sak kicked the **** out of Vitor in that fight. It was a lackluster performance from both - but nothing underhanded.

    Now - let's talk about Takada/Coleman. . .
