MMA legend, Rickson Gracie surprised all his fans by being present at the Heroe’s weight-ins. Rickson will be at Kevin Casey’s corner, which will face the Japanese Ikuhisa Minowa. FEG president, Sadaharu Tanigawa, spoke about the possibility of Rickson return to the Japanese rings: "Rickson still has plans to fight”. According to Tanigawa he has made several proposals, since 2003, for the Gracie to comeback and the last one was on Friday. “Rickson had pointed three fighers he’d like to face, seems like he’s ready”.
Man, I really wish he fights again before he becomes too old to compete at the level he needs to be at to win. And him fighting Sakuraba would be so huge.
Rickson weighs about 185 naturally, so the prospect of him fighting Bas Rutten in America isn't really practical. I don't think the comissions will have it. If it happens in K-1, in Japan, then I'd be psyched, but I think that it's a toss up between an exciting fight and a complete bore. I like Bas and Rickson for different reasons, but they are both past their prime and if their cardio is lacking, then it won't be exciting.
Rickson v Sakuraba would be an incredible matchup. I've been prying for that night forever. If it happens, praise be to Fedor.
Rickson waited for Sakuraba to be beat to shit so he would have the best oppurtunity to take him. Then him and his delusional fans could keep talking about him being the best fighter ever.
