I know we try not to talk about Sherdog on here but can anyone tell me what the story is behind Rickson via/by armbar on there? I know he won his two Pride fights over Takada by armbar but why is it used on there?

It's to do with his myth>legend persona. He is claimed to be 400-0 so its gotta be Rickson by armbar. THough most of his fights were won by the choke.

Rickson by RNC doesn't sound as good.

Keep in mind the 400+ victories if Im not mistaken is including BJJ tournaments(much like Mario Sperry). That does not mean Rickson is less then the legend proclaims(he is a bad man) however stats like that should always be taken w/ a grain of salt. A little of topic but why did Rickson never fight Sakuraba? I think I remember some rumors going around yrs ago that they where going to and I havent heard what happened? Does anyone know.
