Sakuraba vs Galesic, promo and full fight.

Sakuraba is starting to get up there with Randy Couture in the list of Badass old men.

This fight highlights a beautiful clash of styles. Sakuraba takes a hell of a beating in an attempt to get the submission. Galesic smashes Sakuraba’s face with everything he has to save his leg.

While he’s not the boxer who will have cross-over success in MMA, this shouldn’t be too big of a surprise, and I suspect this kind of thing will become more common in the future. Guys need to make money, and if you’re going to be paid to be the opponent who is there to lose, then you might as well expand your potential sources of income. Boxing fans know that Rubin Williams is completely shot, but to many MMA fans who don’t dig deeper, he’s a former title challenger who was on The Contender. Considering the physical condition Williams is in at the moment, with compromised vision and slow reflexes, I’d actually rather see him be a no-hoper against a wrestler, as he is in this fight, than a no-hoper against a boxer. At the very least, he has less of a chance of getting seriously injured that way.
