Sakuraba

You like Sakuraba, pound-for-pound one of the best MMA fighters in the world, and a contender for top submission wrestler on the planet.

Sakuraba is a fighter's fighter. His proficiency is dazzling to watch as he switches from technique to technique, and you never know when he might pull out a dramatic berserker move, be it a cartwheel onto a prone opponent or a flying stomp. His Pride victory over Renzo Gracie goes down as one of the coolest finishes to a fight ever: http://www.graciemag.com/?c=147&a=6961.

Dream battle? Sakuraba versus Kitty-Chan (http://www.sanrio.com/). She's got a double-leg takedown Mark Coleman can only dream about.
