Thanks, Utah and Donkey.

Royce Gracie defeated Sakuraba by decision. Pretty slow fight, Sak knocked Royce down early but Royce was more aggressive and landed some nice leg kicks on the feet. Brock Lesnar demolished Min Soo Kim - he really surprised me with how quick and powerful he is. Hard to tell after one fight with a 2-5 fighter, but this guy could turn out to be a phenomenal fighter.

Well, that's what I get... 0-3. Nuff said.

Here's a little writeup that sums up the night pretty well.

Nuts. How does Gracie come off as more aggressive when the NSAC judging gives absolutely NO respect to submission attempts or leg kicks. Haven't seen the fight yet, but this smells. Only thing I can think of is that Sakuraba must have stood still and said "Go ahead, hit me!"

That is kinda what sakuraba did. At least for the last round.
