man i was saying the same thing to my friends when matt hughes defeated another Gracie jiu-jitsu fighter 
I could be wrong but i think H-FUNK posted some of the Saku fights sometime ago, Saku not just defeated Gracies but broke and dislocated Gracie arms
did he post the 90 minute fight?
that's the only 1 i haven't seen. i would love to see that one.
Yeah - I can't seem to track down that reply from 2009 or so. Had a bunch of KAZU' clips in it. Damn ... hmm. He was great back in the day, for sure.
KAZUSHI SAKURABA:
One of my favorite mixed martial artists of all-time. He's competed against many of the world's best internationally, and is easily one of the most exciting athletes in the sport (especially years ago in his prime). Very quick and inventine with his moves. I often have to remind myself that in many of the tournaments he('s) competed in ... he was going against much heavier opponents (considering he's 183lbs or so, and many of the guys listed often were able to compete in the light-heavy and heavyweight divisions in other organizations ... anywhere from 205 - 225lbs +). Good song in the backdrop too (U2)) on the Youtube clip. A list of his career is at the bottom of his Wikipedia page.

Kazushi Sakuraba (Japanese: 桜庭和志, Sakuraba Kazushi, born July 14, 1969 in present-day Katagami, Akita, Japan) is a Japanese professional mixed martial arts competitor. He has competed for New Japan Pro Wrestling, UWFi, Kingdom Pro Wrestling, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Pride Fighting Championships, K-1 Hero's and Dream. He has the distinction of competing in the longest mixed martial arts bout on record, having beaten Royce Gracie in a 90-minute bout in 2000.
In Japan, he is known as "The IQ Wrestler", for his brilliance in the arts of catch wrestling and freestyle wrestling, as well as for his overall cerebral approach to fighting. He is also known as "Saku", which is frequently represented by the number "39" (the Japanese pronunciation of 3 being "san" and 9 "ku"). In the West, he is often referred to as the "Gracie Hunter," due to his victories over members the famed Gracie family of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioners, including Royce Gracie, Renzo Gracie, Ryan Gracie and Royler Gracie. He also holds other notable wins over Vitor Belfort, Quinton Jackson, Guy Mezger, Kevin Randleman, and Ken Shamrock.[1]
Sakuraba is widely regarded as one of the greatest mixed martial arts fighters of all time. On a retrospective of Sakuraba's career, Mike Coughlin of the Wrestling Observer stated the following: "Not only is Sakuraba not over rated, simply put, he's the greatest fighter in the history of MMA. And not just the greatest fighter by a little bit, but by such a wide margin that his skill level may never actually be met by another competitor for generations, if ever."[2]
when Silva just stood there and took these punches in the 1st round. Maybe it was the lack of agility he had or just wanted to show him he ain't hurting him but shit was bonkers.
