January's featured fight from the history of MMA:
|
The year was 2005. The place, Saitama Super Arena in Japan, and in June of '05 it was to be home to the quarterfinals of the PRIDE Middleweight Tournament. Featured in the quarterfinals were such fighters as Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Igor Vovchanchyn, Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, and the then-PRIDE Middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva. Also appearing in the quarterfinals were two fighters whose bout would go on to be one of the defining moments of the 2005 Middleweight Tournment: PRIDE legend and Japanese superstar Kazushi Sakuraba, and the Brazilian Top Team stand-out Ricardo Arona who had garnered attention in PRIDE by defeating such opponents as Dan Henderson and Guy Mezger.
The Sakuraba/Arona bout went down in MMA history not because it was an extremely close fight with a controversial decision. Instead this bout has since been remembered for the one-sided war that left Sakuraba bloody and beaten. Arona, a much bigger competitor than Sakuraba, consistently controlled the fight by stopping Sakuraba's take down attempts and by raining down knees and other strikes. At the end of the second round Sakuraba's corner threw in the towel, thus advancing Arona to the semifinals to face the Middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva. |
