Sakuraba vs. Royce Gracie II In The U.S. On 6/2!?!?

[Matt Boone]

Big draw in Japan won't matter. Meltzer is saying this is for the U.S. show, their debut show with Brock Lesnar vs. Hong Man Choi and Johnnie Morton fighting. That card.

I rather it be Rickson, but I'll watch Royce and Sak again anyday! I wonder what the "Stipulations"will be????

Here is a no-DL link for the complete version of the first fight:

I would love to have seen Rickson/Saku

Yeah for sure, I will never forget that priceless shot of Sakuraba looking over at Rickson while he had Royler down and was destroying him.

I thought for sure Rickson vs Saku was to be next.

Rickson is 48-49 years old now if I recall correctly but is still in phenomenal shape. K-1 was closing in on making that fight happen about a year ago and were said to have been offerig up $4 million to Rickson and $2 million to Saku though unfortunately nothing ever materialized.
