LOL. A business is a business, both probably tried to shade each other's figures and out do each other but at the end of the day THEY BOTH CHOKED. If Dana was so confident Chuck would win, he would've gave Silva some ppv revenue (THE REASON THE FIGHT DIDNT HAPPEN BY THE WAY, FULL CONTACT MAGAZINE DANA WHITE INTERVIEW AND QUOTE) A lot of American fans know about PRIDE, maybe not the mainstream kids who watch UFC, but all of the mma experts. Which is why some losers post above about the cartoon and promotion of PRIDE made me sick.
You wanna talk about competition and sports? PRIDE has legendary gold medalists, military commanders and some of the most skilled hand to hand combatants on earth fighting, their fans are respectful and never boo. Now let's look at UFC presentation and programming. Hmm, seems they want the image of a truck drivin hick show with a bunch of beer drinkin red necks/hard rock cafe las vegas drunks with tattoos and slutty girls. Lol both have their faults, and both are at fault for this fight not happening, but let's not get anything twisted, Silva would own Chuck, and anybody who thinks different needs to look in Chuck's eyes at UFC 61 during their little stare down lol. Silva was ready to go right there.
P.S. This happened before Randy's win over Vitor the 2nd time i believe, silva appeared in the octagon with a PRIDE shirt, so I wouldnt let your head smoke over the whole "real deal marketing angle conspiracy theory"
