Default Longest MMA match?

What is the longest MMA match in history? Preferably taped events or if not taped, then at least ones that have good credibility to be true.

The longest I know of is the epic Royce Gracie vs. Sakaraba fight which lasted for an hour and a half.

Is that the longest one on record?

You are correct. The Royce Gracie vs. Sakaraba rematch, which lasted more than 90 minutes, is the longest modern MMA match. Anyone know the second longest MMA match?

I know Royce vs Shamrock 2 lasted over 36 minutes. It may have been the second longest taped pro match but I'm not sure. I'm sure that the second longest match prob envolved a Gracie though.

By the way Matt, the Royce/Sakuraba fight wasn't a rematch. They only fought that one time. I think that you are thinking of the Royler vs Saku fight as Royce vs Saku 1. Easy mistake since Royler looks like a smaller Royce and they are brothers after all.

I watched Pride 2 last night and they have a match between Renzo Gracie and Sanae Kikuta which lasted over 50 minutes. Man was it boring though. The only thing good about it was at the end when Renzo finally got the guillotine.

I hear ya. That "fight" should not even qualify as a MMA match. It looked more like ADCC. Which I love but not when I am supposed to be watching MMA.

My thoughts exactly. ADCC is great when you feel like watching some great technical grappling but when it is supposed to be a mixed martial arts fight they need to do more than just lay on each other for round after round.
