Yes, but Sakuraba and Wallid Ismael used Gracie Jiujitsu to beat Gracie Jiujitsu, so what does that prove exactly?

Of course Sak did not train in Gracie Jiujitsu, but he studied the tapes of fights, learned their moves, and used basically their moves to fight them. Now, if Sak would have beaten them four years earlier, it would have been more impressive, but he had years to observe and prepare.

Also, the fight with Sak and Royce lasted 90 minutes and was toe to toe for the whole 90 minutes. When you have a fight last for 90 minutes of solid techniques and pounding, how can you say that one fighter dominated the other. Sak did solidly win, but a 90 minute pound-fest does not constitute a one sided win.

I do need to say, however, that Sauraba is a better fighter than Royce Gracie and is far more creative in the ring, but I cannot say that he is the best in the ring. His record as of late shows that. I wish he would have fought Rickson back about 7 years ago, though. That would have been a fight......
