Kazushi Sakuraba beat 5 UFC champions. Despite being a natural middleweight, he has fought light heavy and heavyweight fighters and beat the sh!t out of them! Three of the 5 UFc champions he beat were 20 plus pounds bigger than him, like Quinton Rampage Jackson, Kevin Randelman, and Ken Shamrock, all in their primes. Plus he beat Vitor Belfort who was a former UFC heavyweight champion after beating Randy Couture and he also beat the hell out of Royce Gracie (undisputed UFC champion) in his prime! WTF! this guy beat every Gracie he fought, like Ryan, Royler, and Renzo! he beat Newton, Silveira (260 pounder blackbelt jujiutsu fighter), and Guy Mezger! This guy has a more impressive record than say Georges St. Pierre or Anderson Silva combined, yet nobody knows him or even give him the respect and appreciation. Imagine Anderson Silva beating Rampage, Machida, Evans, and going up to fight Noguiera or Mir. Or imagine Georges St. Pierre going up 1 and 2 weight divisions to fight Anderson Silva, Dan Henderson, and challenging Lyoto Machida and Quinton Rampage Jackson as well.
He is not Brazilian or American, but he has beaten the heck out of any of them when they face him in the ring (no disrespect). He is Japanese, which may have contributed to his unpopularity in a sport dominated by Americans and Brazilians. His losses were all against 205 pounders, which is not fair, because he is 185. But at 185, nobody can beat him, and even when he was undersize he won convincingly! He is the Greatest Middleweight MMA fighter ever! He needs to get some damn respect! if you are a real MMA fan you know what Im talking about!
