No walk in the park if it goes to the ground. Sakuraba is underrated on his feet, simply because he's always on the opposite side of someone like CroCop, V. Silva, Rampage, etc. He can bang, and if Rickson can't get him down he's in trouble. Even if he can, under MMA rules - it's by no means a guaranteed "in the bag" victory for Rickson. I still gotta see him fight, in a pro MMA bout, a top 10 fighter before just assuming based on his jiu jitsu credentials and overall myth, that he can walk in and dominate an MMA legend like Sakuraba.
