***FIGHT OMITTED*** Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Gilles Arsene

thank gd.... that was one of the worst fights ever

[EVILYOSHIDA]

the frye yoshida armbar does look suspect.. however Frye's arm was truly fucked. I remember seeing afte rpics

[EVILYOSHIDA]

ROyce was for sure out in this one

ALL THAT WEIGHT from that WRIST to his NECK

lol @ fools who thought this was a setup

ridiculous

[EVILYOSHIDA]

Royce couldn't tap because he went unconscious

how many hours did people on the OG waste debating this fight?

the Frye /Yoshida fight is more suspicious, but Don wasn't the smartest fighter

I do think though that Yoshida threw it for the 2nd Royce fight....

It just showed up on my youtube page with a clock ticking down, looked like somebody was going to run the old event on his youtube channel. Wound up being edited with annoying personal commentary from the dude. I turned it off after 15 minutes or so.

Too bad. And sorry, false alarm.

[EVILYOSHIDA]

yeah the dude is clearly a BJJ nuthugger.

the Frye fight is odd, but considering Yoshida went toe to toe with Wanderlei and beat some of the best, the fight most likely was not a work.
