Many posts yet not one truthful one.
The result is obvious:
Rickson via armbar
Sambists seems to rely on explosive power based techniques, against a technician like Rickson that just plays into his game.
Maybe at first he'll have trouble, but once the fight goes past 3-4 mins, it's all Rickson.
it'll look like Werdum/Erikson
Rickson may have won, but Volk Han would be a most troublesome opponent for him. If you watch choke, (the documentary that covers Rickson throughout VTJ95), then you will see that Rickson complains to Royler about head/neck pain and seems to be very frustrated, after his fight with Yoshihisa Yamamoto, and all that guy did was cling to the ropes for 20mins.
You may also rembemer Nobuhiko Takada rocking Rickson pretty hard with a knee in their 2nd fight, and he was nowhere near Hans league.
Also, as someone else pointed out... Volk Han went the distance with Big Nog, so a smaller Rickson may not have been able to pull it off.
Either way... A good match up.
