Vote now in the Bloody Elbow Baddest Tournament to determine the Greatest MMA Wrestler of All Time. Today’s match-up: #1 Georges St. Pierre vs. #8 Kazushi Sakuraba. Vote now!
Remember how I said it doesn’t get any closer than Demetrious Johnson’s 1 point win over Dominick Cruz? Well, I was wrong. In our last battle, #3 seed Sean Sherk and #6 seed Mark Kerr battled to our first draw of the tournament – 21-21. With that, the fight is officially ruled a draw. We’ll have a wild card match-up at the end of the first round to determine who advances.
Our recent matches have been real nail-bitters – today, not so much. Probably. Overall tournament #1 seed Georges St. Pierre sees action here. He takes on #8 seed and BE Baddest Submission Fighter Champion Kazushi Sakuraba. Can the Gracie Killer pull off the massive upset and become the GSP Killer? Your call.
