Nobuhiko Takada announced at a press conference on Tuesday that Kazushi Sakuraba will not be able to participate in the upcoming Pride Grand Prix card.

Sakuraba was tenatively scheduled to fight on the August 15th card but injuries have once again kept him on the shelf. Sakuraba felt his knee buckle midway through his fight against Nino Schembri. Sakuraba ended up winning the fight by decision, but now Sakuraba plans on getting his knee scoped to have the knee cleaned out. Takada said that he plans on having Saku fight possibly on the December 31st card.

I think I remember seeing Elvis kick that knee maybe twice in that fight. That ****er was aiming for Sak's knee. ****ing bastard.

Yeah, when Elvis was on his back he connected with a few good kicks to Sakuraba's knees. It's a shame.......

Damn Elvis...I want to beat his ass for daring to destroy Saku, the demigod, and his career. SHAME ON HIM!

Even God rested on the seventh day. Saku needs to take a break.
