Sakuraba was one of MMA's greatest competitors... an alternate for the Japanese Olympic freestyle wrestling team, who had the best single-leg takedown in MMA at the time... he also learned legit catch wrestling from the "Lancashire Wonder Boy", Billy Robinson. The combination of his BJJ and catch wrestling grappling skills with his unorthodox striking and guard passes, made for a very skilled and very entertaining fighter. His bout against Carlos Newton in PRIDE 3 is proof that grappling and groundwork in MMA don't have to be boring.
