Damn…who would have thought that "Gracie Killer" Kazushi Sakuraba would have left Pride and Takada Dojo for K1???

For a time Sakuraba was virtually synonymous with Pride Fighting, and he was basically their poster boy.  But hey, things change.

More from MMAWeekly

In a big shocker, MMAWeekly's Scott Petersen reports from Japan that Kazushi Sakuraba has left Pride for K-1's Hero's organization. Sakuraba's music played as Saku entered the ring with Hero's executive Akira Maeda.

Maeda did the talking in the presentation, as Saku didnt actually show his face or say when he would fight in a K-1/Hero's ring, but Maeda said that Sakuraba would fight in August….

I wonder if Sak will ever fight with that Tiger Mask on…hmm…
