After his fight against the no good, dick piercing nicknamed John Albert, Ivan Menjivar was asked about how he survived the onslaught of "Prince" and responded with what really should be an age old question asked of mankind. He said he asked himself "What Would Sakuraba Do?
What Sakuraba would have done apparently was strangled John Albert and picked up the comeback submission victory because that is exactly what happened. I made a comment about the need of a WWSD? bracelet and a few people were into it so I want to see how much real interest there is in these bracelets. If you would like one and can pay for it (I'll set it all up and announce the final cost per person after this fanpost runs its course.
So drop a note in the comments if you want one. I'll set up a Paypal or something later when we get further into this.

I’d be somewhat interested in that.
thirdparty - February 20, 2012
I would get one
But then I would be afraid that Ricardo Arona would beat me within an inch of my life.
discoandherpes - February 20, 2012
just hide inside the Octagon
he will never set foot in there
Earl Montclair - February 20, 2012
Oooohhhh....
Zachary Kater - February 21, 2012
HAHA :D
THIS!!!!
I would want to buy a hypnogarcia frog.. THAT FROG
szanpan - February 21, 2012
Actually I would want a hypnofrog Garcia shirt as well
So when Ricardo Arona beat me within an inch of my life, two out of three people will think that I actually won the fight.
discoandherpes - February 21, 2012
hehe exactly
szanpan - February 21, 2012
If that is a diss on the Fedor fight, you are nuts.
Arona was blanketing Fedor the whole time and stalling the shit out of the fight. The rules were not partial to that kind of fighting back then in Pancrase (or was it Rings?).
Unabomberman - February 22, 2012
No, It was a Garcia by split decision joke
Chris Hall - February 22, 2012
Yes all on Garcia
I do love that frog..
szanpan - February 22, 2012
It was Rings so nobody even knows the judging criteria but ironically there’s still so many people adamant about Arona (or Fedor for that matter) winning that fight.
Bolshevik - February 23, 2012
Why don’t you like John Albert?
TheLastEmpress - February 20, 2012
I got no beef with him
I just needed someone to be the villian here and it damn sure wasn’t going to be Ivan……or Sakuraba.
Earl Montclair - February 20, 2012
Albert definitely still has a lot to learn
Someone has made a good comment on UFC not being very nice with the new TUF alumns nowadays and yes Menjivar was a way too deep water for Albert who likes to brawl. But he did what he could do… Menjivar was great and it was a great fight
szanpan - February 21, 2012
Albert definitely brought it
I’m sure he’ll get another fight, probably against another TUF 14 alum coming off a loss.
discoandherpes - February 21, 2012
John Albert spotted
menckenstein - February 21, 2012
I wants
But… What would Sakuraba do? Well… He’d fight way past his prime and would be a disaster and almost a shame to watch. He’d make thousands of fans nearly cry at the news of him taking another fight with a way too dangerous and younger opponent.
But if you ask me a long time ago ‘What would Sakuraba do?’. I’d say he would submit you in epic fashion
le sigh
Ricardo Arguello - February 20, 2012
yeah.
all this is true
Earl Montclair - February 20, 2012
I want one
I also want my ear to fall off.
IRodC - February 20, 2012
I’d rather have a coffee mug. Make coffee mugs.
And the S should stand for Sexyama, because that’s what I ask myself when confronted by an inebriated skank: What would Sexyama do? And then I remember he has a trophy wife and I figure he’d say, “Hey, remember to give her a fake name. It’s not like you’re marrying her.” (Translation of what he’d say care of Google Translate.)

Earl Montclair - February 20, 2012
Coffee is a beverage. It’s not able to suck. It’s deeeeeeeeelish.
( . Y . ) - February 21, 2012
HAHA i do LOVE your comment
:D made my day :D
szanpan - February 21, 2012
My wife saw me reading this and now she wants a sakuraba bracelet so I guess I’m in for 2.
That said, coffee mugs are a good idea. Bracelets are for women.
OmoPlata - February 21, 2012

Skoobs - February 21, 2012
I would ask Sakuraba what he would do
But I have a feeling he wouldn’t be able to hear me.
discoandherpes - February 21, 2012
What would Nick Diaz Do?
szanpan - February 22, 2012
Roll a big fat one, then go run a triathlon.

It appears to be born of fire.
That’s some bitch weight for such a roid monkey. Terrible bodybuilder, worse comedian.

and I’ll ban you
Chris Barton - February 21, 2012
seriously?
i know im on thin ice here, but can we discuss this? whats the differeence between this and the censored tito pic i posted, and got warned for? obviously i wasnt completely offended, but its not a pretty picture.
also, i was warned yesterday for something that was interpreted wrong-am i taking things to personally here, or what? seems like none of this is warranted. again, i just want an honest discussion-not a fight, no drama, just a clear explaination. ive been on here over a year and have had very few problems with mods until the last 2 days.
i would discuss this in private but dont know how to contact you guys directly, so please excuse my openness.
thanks.
gspmademegay - February 21, 2012
Our emails should be on the front page
hit one of up there for discussion.
Chris Barton - February 21, 2012
Can other users vouch for someone?
I think gspmademegay contributes some meaningful discussion, and I’d hate to lose him.
I know the moderating can’t be up for votes, but the goal is to improve or at least maintain the site standards, right? I don’t see how gspmademegay has lowered them, if my two cents can even be considered currency here.
RobtWeaver - February 22, 2012
Typically you're right
but he also has a habit of breaking rules.
Chris Barton - February 22, 2012
ive been off for a few days chris
but ill send you an email if i can so i can become clearer on what to avoid. really not trying to cause any headaches for any of you.

I thought that was so awesome! I think I have been annoying my girlfriend for the last week by saying this all the time.
I would buy one.
Hart Thorson - February 21, 2012
I would buy one
Ahriman4891 - February 21, 2012
I am disapoint
I thought this was a thread where we looked at various fights over the years, and asked ourselves, what would Sakuraba do?
Like, Mir v BROCKLESNAR I…Mir totally Sakuraba’d that fight.
Velasquez v JDS: Sakuraba would have grabbed a heel hook when he fell to the mat unconscious…
RobtWeaver - February 21, 2012
I'd buy that..
for a dollar.
Fistbeard - February 21, 2012
YUP
mattsterguy - February 21, 2012
Whatever you do, NEVER take Sakurabas back
And I would purchase anything Saku related, clearly.
Chris Barton - February 21, 2012
Could you imagine Sakuraba as a cop?
Every one of his partners would have a broken arm.
Saku: “The crooks are just inside here.”
Rookie: “Ok, I’ve got your back!”

menckenstein - February 21, 2012

gspmademegay - February 21, 2012
WWSD = Keylock.
His answer to any and all situations is keylock.

What would they look like?
Luke Nelson - February 21, 2012
i dont know what color but they would say What Would Sakuraba Do? in embossed letters the same color as the bracelet
Earl Montclair - February 21, 2012
i wanna big foam hand that says 'slap yoself'
gspmademegay - February 21, 2012
Orange
Orange is Saku’s color.
RolloTomasi - February 21, 2012

Earl Montclair - February 21, 2012
Good
Rollo is a fucking hater, but he is right about it needing to be orange.
Chris Barton - February 21, 2012

Naztuu - February 21, 2012
If cheap enough, I would
Also, I would tell non-mma fans it stands for what would Satan do?
outcircuit - February 22, 2012
To the lovely tune of What Would Brian Boitano do
What would Sakuraba do
If he was here right now,
He’d make a plan
And he’d follow through,
That’s what Sakuraba’d do.
When Sakuraba was in Pride
Fighting for the gold,
He did tapped a Gracie with a kimura
While wearing a blind fold.
When Sakuraba was in the moutains,
Fighting panda bears,
He used his magical fire breath,
And saved the maidens fair.
So what would Sakuraba do
If he were here today,
I’m sure he’d kick an ass or two,
That’s what Sakuraba’d do.
And what would Sakuraba do,
He’d call all the BE kids in town,
And tell them to unite for truth
That’s what Sakuraba would do.
When Sakuraba travelled through time
To the year 3010,
He fought the evil robot kings
and saved the human race again
And when Sakuraba built the pyramids,
He beat up Kubela Kong.
Cos Sakuraba doesn’t take shit from an-e-y-body
So lets all get together,
And unite to buy some charms
And maybe we’ll save JMMA too,
Cos that’s what Sakuraba’d do.
And we’ll save JMMA too,
Cos that’s what Sakuraba’d dooooo,
That’s what Sakuraba’d do.
