Kazushi "The Gracie Hunter" SakurabaPerhaps no other PRIDE FC star has been as loved or internationally acclaimed as Kazushi Sakuraba. He is a legend and super star in Japan, but throughout the world mixed martial arts fans flock to his unorthodox fighting style and unparalleled showmanship. His entrances alone make his fights memorable! Sakuraba represents the professional wrestlers of Japan and his success has given him the name "The Messiah of Professional Wrestling." Having made the transition to mixed martial arts, his strong grappling and striking skills have shot him to the top of the rankings and he has been involved in some of the most memorable matches in the sport's history. Among them, a rivalry with the Gracie Family, which garnered him the nickname the "Gracie Hunter" (after successive victories over Royler, Royce, Renzo and Ryan). With his incredible technical ability, mental toughness, and showmanship, you don't want to miss Sakuraba in action! |
