A more appropriate description for being able to take a beating would be "his samurai spirit" or he's got "heart." Don't mean to be picky. Just having fun with words from one writer to another. ;-) “Iron chin” usually means that he doesn’t get KOed easy (since most KO’s happen by targetting the chin).

I definitely should have wrote how Sakuraba has primarily fought against larger opponents. Not sure about Saku's chin? The dude has absorbed some brutal beatings. Chi, you’re right.

You forgot to mention that Sakuraba was a 185er fighting 205ers for most of his career, which above all else is what makes him a overachiever. Not sure about his iron chin considering he is suseptible to the KO. Nice Sam.

Did you spend 9 minutes on this or something? Kidding. Solid list, Sam. One question.... did you consider the background of Little Evil? I would put the background of Jens Pulver over Eddie Alvarez.
