Putting him on the OG or UG makes no difference. When Sak was in his prime, office ladies , old people, people who had no interest in fighting tuned in to watch him fight. Transcendence.

EVILYOSHIDA Member Since: 12/3/03 Posts: 71043	THE DEAN - That was when MMA was good. Sak was always exciting to watch...too bad there aren't more fighters like him today. good post. MMA now leaves a lot to be desired. You have ignored this user.

EVILYOSHIDA Member Since: 12/3/03 Posts: 71044	Yama-Arashi - I love how this thread has brought out a ton of old school guys from pre-2000 submissionfighting.com days. Love the nostalgia though, this is why I loved MMA. This coming from most likely the longest lurker in forum history. that's good. It was a magical time. That kind of magic is hard to capture in any genre or sport nowadays. You have ignored this user.

Some of us even outdate submission fighting.com by 2 years Phone Post

grapplingwithzen 2 Member Since: 6/12/07 Posts: 551	Good montage. Easily one of the greatest and most entertaining fighters in history ! He should've retired from fighting much much earlier though. I worry about the effect some of those beatings he took later in his career will have on his health. You have ignored this user.

MMA Translations 31 Member Since: 3/12/10 Posts: 1867	^ yeah it's sad he pushed too far and seems pretty punchdrunk. normally you might think it's just the fight in him that won't die (and that's true, he LOVES fighting), but a lot of his later matches (and earlier ones...) were favors called in from sinking promoters.

EVILYOSHIDA Member Since: 12/3/03 Posts: 71056	yeah. sak took a lot of fights just because the bosses told him to. this is what happens when seniority respect gets abused You have ignored this user.

Megatherium 42 Member Since: 11/18/11 Posts: 4365	Fought Gracie for an hour and a half and still came out and when fifteen grueling minutes with Igor Vovchanchyn. It was the first Pride I actually got the chance to order (two week tape delay). It's something I will never forget. He dominated his weight class in a way the we have seldom if ever seen.

stuvelo 106 Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 9131	I just got chills and a tear watching that video. Truly an epic period of MMA that will never be recreated. If I lived to be 1,000 and watched 10,000 more fighters, Saku will remain my favorite. You have ignored this user.

mendelson 48 Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 3946	Truly the greatest of all time. He inspired me to fight. The best part of Saku was that he appeared to be a totally regular guy. He won because of his spirit and determination as much as he ever won because of his skill. You have ignored this user.
