	Sakuraba
		Sakuraba: To tell the truth, I used to watch “Take-chan man” very often when I was in an elementary school.
		Sakuraba: Whoever my opponent is, fighting is the same to me as long as there are no special demands about the rules from their side.
		Sakuraba: My training partner is chosen in order by “jyanken” [a Japanese finger-flashing game of paper-scissors-stone] among the fighters who happen to be there at the time (laughing).

	Kazushi Sakuraba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kazushi Sakuraba (Japanese: 桜庭和志, Sakuraba Kazushi, born July 14, 1968 in Akita Prefecture) is a Japanese professional mixed martial arts fighter.

	Kazushi Sakuraba - OTMWiki
		Kazushi Sakuraba (Japanese: 桜庭和志, Sakuraba Kazushi, born July 14, 1968 in Akita Prefecture) is a Japanese professional mixed martial arts fighter.
		Sakuraba's fight against Royce in the PRIDE Grand Prix 2000 Finals was also of historical significance; it marked Royce's first defeat in mixed martial arts after an undefeated run in the UFC and stands as the longest match in modern MMA history at 90 minutes.
		Therefore, Sakuraba's victories over the Gracie clan can arguably be seen through the lens of Sakuraba avenging his stablemates' defeats and perhaps re-establishing the legitimacy of the catch wrestling techniques they employed.

		This can be evidenced in his ring entrances, which have featured everything from a masked Sakuraba accompanied to the ring by identically-costumed lookalikes to Road Warriors-inspired spiked football pads and facepaint, to the donning of a false mustache and red cap for a Super Mario Bros. homage.
		Though Sakuraba was unbeaten through his first nine bouts, recent years have seen an apparent decline in his ability to compete with the elite of the 205 pound class.
		Sakuraba rushed in to follow up but before any meaningful offense could be launched, the fight was halted by referee Yuji Shimada.

		In fights where Sakuraba is the smaller fighter, by at least 10 pounds, his record is 8-7-1 with one no contest.

		Kazushi Sakuraba beat Royce Gracie by TKO after 90:00 when Rorion Gracie threw in the towel before the bell to start round 7 Sakuraba came out wearing a Super Strong Machine mask, with two seconds also wearing Machine masks, I guess as a way to point out that he was originally a pro wrestler.
		Sakuraba doesn't think Gracie should be allowed to fight with the gi, so he says he's going to strip him of it during the fight.

		Sakuraba beat Royce - it was a classic battle but Royce took too much damage and couldn't answer the bell later on.

	Kazushi Sakuraba Back in Japan!

		Kazushi Sakuraba undoubtedly is the biggest star in the history of the Japanese MMA.
		On that date, after MRI scans and the whole nine yards, Sakuraba was diagnosed as having no brain damage or abnormalities, but apparently he sustained damage to his vertebrobasilar system, which is responsible for blood flow to the posterior region of the brain.
		Perhaps, Sakuraba still has this strong sense of being a pro-wrestler, and this is to prove that, as a situation, you are the toughest son of a bitch on earth, ridiculously invulnerable.
