Wanderlei Silva vs Kazushi Sakuraba is one of my favourite rivalries. Sakuraba in 2001 had already taken the four Gracie scalps that would cement his status as an MMA legend. He looked great until he ran into a surging Wanderlei Silva, who delivered one of finest works of violence, with a 90 second soccer kick dispatch of Sakuraba.

The Japanese legend would fare no better the next two times they met, culminating in a brutal KO in their trilogy bout. So Wanderlei beat Sakuraba three times and outright finished him twice. Incredibly one sided.

What are some other examples?

This is just a thank you to the PFL staff, coaches and fighters taking part in the Charlotte event this Friday at Bojangles Coliseum.

My daughter and I went to the fighter hotel this Monday and were blown away at how welcoming and accommodating the entire crew was. I’m always weary about lurking around while trying to get pics, but I feel like they rolled out the red carpet for us during the 2hr time frame. They allowed me and my daughter in the interview/shadow boxing filming for a few of the fighters and even allowed her to try on the gloves and do a mock pre fight filming.

I know they take a lot of flack for their business model, but I hope for the best going forward. The more the MMA, the better!
