Yeah everyone says this Gracie isn't Rickson and that Gracie isn't Rickson. Point is, 99.9% of these people are just believing what people say about Rickson. Oh Paulo Filho says Rickson is still the best. Oh the Gracie family members themselves admit none of them are on Rickson's level (which might have been saying something back in the day, to say he's head and shoulders above the rest of the other Gracie's today as far as MMA goes ain't saying much). I really hope this fight happens, I've been dieing for the myth of Rickson to be exposed. I'm not sure beating Sakuraba NOW does much to prove that myth to be true either, but losing will obviously end the myth. So it's a no win situation for Rickson. If he does take the fight, you have to at least respect that much.
