Who wins?

[Travis Alexander]

This fight gets substantially more interesting if you take away time limit. Saku has experience fighting a marathon match but Nick is likely MMA’s marathon master and you don’t simply finish a prime Diaz.



…as long as there isn’t a ref that is adverse to some cuts and blood.

Sakuraba in his prime vs Nick Diaz in his prime?

Tried to put some gifs in here but of course they were too big.

Saku and not close.

 

[StonedLemur]

Saku and not close.

Yeah I had a similar feeling, but think the grappling would be interesting to watch.

 

[JustOnce]

Saku is a WAY better wrestler, and you don't break Saku, which is what Nick does to people.

I don't think Nick subs Saku off his back either. Like someone said, it might be interesting with no time limit, but that's about it.

Nick won't do nothing to Saku I think on the ground in my opinion.

Yeah I said in here I think saku is too creative on the ground for nick.

More interesting match up I think is Prime Hughes vs Saku.
Would have loved to have seen that one. I got Saku.

Jeez, that would be a sick fight to watch. I think there's a strong case for either guy, but I think prime Saku could decision prime Nick.

I think saku might sub nick.
Only because of his overall grappling and creativity.

Because he is smart enough to take the fight to his strength in his prime, and his catch style was very effective against Gracie JJ once on the floor.

Be a helluva fight to see!

 

[chinarice]

And I still think saku wins.
You actually might be the only one that picked Nick.

It's not an argument as this is a fantastic fantasy match.
I also think GSP loses but I digress.

I can see saku beating nick by decision.

I can see GSP beating Saku by decision.

 

[Nathan LaMontagne]

Sakuraba would take him down and literally do cartwheels over him.

I'd have loved to see Sakuraba actually fight someone remotely his size in his prime.

Thats why we have these conversations sir, everyone gets to voice their opinions.

I think so too, and yeah I'd love to see it myself.

Yeah he was so damn creative on the ground, how could you not love that guy.
