    If they had a Mt Rushmore for MMA he'd be on it.

    Will always be my fav fighters.

    A pro wrestler at heart who didn't have an ounce of quit in him.

    Was mismatched time and time again as he was too small to fight 285lb monsters but the guy never said no.

    Pride FC was amazing and a lot of that is down to Sakuraba.

    I can deffo see having him outside a top ten based in h2h but as a WW great he's right up there. Easily top 5 ever.

    Very high, he was extremely competitive vs some the best fighters of alltime 40+ pounds above him. We likely will never see anything like that in our sport again.
