Have people on here seen this? At the last New Japan show, Kazushi Sakuraba fought Shinsuke Nakamura for the IWGP Intercontinental Title. Nakamura goes in for a takedown and Sakuraba knees him in the head and knocks him out cold.  Good to see his instincts are still sharp. Too bad this wasn't an MMA fight. |

Nakamura won the match so he must have recovered fairly quickly.

Reminds me of Nakamura getting all f***ed up from a Takayama knee in 2004.

Sakuraba's still conditioned to do that through years of MMA.
That had to suck for Nakamura

A move Saku never hit in a fight. Nice.

That's like the opposite of Brock Lesnar's ground and pound, which looked about as threatening as Shawn Michaels'. Instinct is a funny thing.

I love the way he seems so casual about it. You can see a hint of "Oh, Shit." on his face though.

Why?

So was Nakamura trying to shoot on Sakuraba or something?  |

Also, it wasn't a KO. Nakamura sold it like death, but no KO.
And Nakamura was trying for a takedown. This is the same spot that he uses in his matches against Takayama and the result is always the same: try takedown, eat knee, sell it like death. Nakamura is THAT good.
