This would big a huge draw... in Japan. I'm conflicted because a rematch at this point wouldn't mean a whole lot, both guys are pretty much done competing for titles and what have you.

I don't know if thats good for Royce on US soil if its a sanctioned bout. 5 minute rounds not good. I will be pulling for Royce if this is true. he can become the first Gracie to beat Sak. but he will have to get lucky to do it.

Sakuraba suposedly injured his shoulder in his last fight in Heros so that seems to be an injury prone spot for Royce to target.
I would love to have seen Rickson/Saku

Definitely not, in fact I think they're setting themselves up for a big fall unless they have some contingency plan where they can make the place look way smaller than it is.

Both are legends for sure but Royce can't defeat a can at this point
Sakuraba just doesn't have it anymore I hope it will be the last fight for these guys.I thought Sakuraba was signed with Pride he was at the last Pride PPV Trig was saying Sakuraba's back.

I think they should cut the stadium in half, they would still have 30,000 plus seats.
