He awakens for the fight, he eats for the fight and he breaths to become a champion.
Takanori Sakuraba is no stranger to the mix martial arts, he is more like a hidden treasure waiting to be found. Sending most of his life wrestling and boxing the progression to MMA was natural for "TSAK".

TSAK: I like fast cars and training and ummm... training and The hills.{laughs}
RSFM: For people who haven't seen you fight explain your style.
TSAK: I like punching Kicking Submissions all of it. I would say I really like the Take downs and Knees.
RSFM: How did the signing with rings FC come to? We know you had very good offers from Dream and other MMA orgs.
TSAK: The timing was right and I felt I need a change and Shooter expressed complete interest; it was a good fit for me.
RSFM: Let me congratulate you on the opening of your new gym. What can we expect for you to manufacture out of Team INSPIRIT?
TSAK: Thank you... I am really pleased and excited. I like coaching and to bring new people in to train with and watching my fighters grow. As far as style we have to see but I can tell you we have had big names come to the gym already and help out and share.

TSAK: Icho Niacin is on the team. And i have been in contact with people that have interest like Joell Alvarez, Danilo Braga, Olaf Bunz and others....
