Should he continue fighting, Sakuraba has an open invitation into PRIDE's Bushido "welterweight" (183-pound) tournament later this year, Sakakibara said.
Excellent, I hope he can heal in time. He would do just fine against guys that size.

Honestly, I think he's still a little small for that weight. He could easily make 170. Still, he's better off than before.
Robin.
There is a lot of truth to what FieryErmine says... In saku's prime he was a lean 185ish without cutting anything.
I'm a huge Saku fan, but I honestly think he's just too wrecked at this point in his career... His knees are simply destroyed and it shows in his shooting speed/power. Look at any early Saku fight vs. his later ones and its pretty obvious.
185 is good for him. I'd probably bet money on him depending on the lineup.
I think he was lighter than Royce for their fight.
Awesome news, I hope he does it.
