Is that Brock Lesnar the wrestler?
I hope he does better than Sean O'Haire lol

Royce should win this one.
After all he would've won the the first bout if he hadn't chose to fight with no time limit.

I don't see royce wining agianst saku especially since saku is training with chute boxe academy as we speak. The first fight between saku and royce was suppose to be to his advantage and his corner threw in the towel.

^^^^
It sure was and it didn't work out for Royce in the end.

Saku has looked real bad in his last few fights (so has Royce).
I don't think he's going to learn much from Chute at this point in his career.
And besides, the striking skills that he can pick up from them won't help his ground game, and that's where this fight will be fought at.

Either way, it's gonna be fun to watch.

*wonders why BJJ instructor didn't mention this fight*

Saku doesn't need better ground game to compete with Royce. He already popped out 2 of the Gracies arms with kimuras. I really can't see Saku losing this fight.

Saku has a great ground game, but I had him clearly losing the first two (maybe three) rounds of his fight with Royce.

If Saku wins this one, I wonder if Rickson will ever step up.
royce was close to submitting saku only one time during that fight other than that saku was making royce look like a fool. I doubt Rickson will come back because he has nothing to prove.

If you were to score it on points you would have to score the first few rounds to Royce. Don't forget that Saku kept hiding through the ropes in those early rounds (that tactic is illegal in Pride now).

I see this fight as a toss up right now, but I'll give Royce the edge (blame my BJJ bias).
