Kazushi Sakuraba

Avec un CV incroyable mis en évidence par des victoires sur quatre membres de la légendaire famille Gracie, dont Royler, Renzo, Ryan, et Royce Gracie, Sakuraba a hérité du surnom de « The Gracie Hunter ». L'artiste martial mixte japonais est surtout connu pour son premier affrontement avec Royce, un marathon de 90 minutes qui s'est terminé par un TKO (arrêt de coin) victoire de Sakuraba presque 17 il y a des années. Gracie vengerait plus tard sa perte, remportant une décision unanime contre Sakuraba à « K-1 Dynamite États-Unis!!" à l'intérieur du Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Maintenant, près d'une décennie plus tard, les deux légendes se retrouvent et Bellator MMA vous donne la chance d'être là quand cela se produit!
