From Sakuraba:
Although we did not have many chances to meet, I strongly remember that I was almost strangled at an open training session of PRIDE.
I have a strong impression of his "energy" and I can't help but feel that he will parachute down from the night sky again as he did 20 years ago.
Mr. Inoki, thank you for your long years of service.
Please rest in peace.
