Icon10 UFC buys PRIDE - the comic book - This is Awesome, ***Translated***

This is from a Japanese Magazine that a friend in Japan sent me. I hope someone can translate this!
Now with Semi translations thanks to Zach Arnold and Claimin513


THE COVER OF THE MAGAZINE
The cover of the magazine or 'mook' - says PRIDE (yellow), Kameda (as in Koki Kameda - in red), pro-wrestling (in red), and K-1 in yellow. It's the cover of a scandal mook talking about the variously scandals in the fight industry. The fighter profiled on the front is Wanderlei Silva.



The second image is about PRIDE, UFC, Bodog, Elite XC, etc. with pictures of Fedor, Mirko, Takada, and Sakakibara.


The third image is about Fuji TV cutting off ties with PRIDE and Hustle in June of 2006.


The fourth image is images of Shukan Gendai magazines covering the 'boryokudan' (yakuza violence group) stories they ran about PRIDE.The fifth image is a total recreation of the whole yakuza scandal. The right side has a picture of a dark, mysterious man. This is supposed to be PRIDE's alleged virtual yakuza owner, Mr. I (aka Mr. Ishizaka aka Kim Dok-Soo). It's a series of images talking about the Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye 2003 disaster at Kobe Wing Stadium and it has pictures of Seiya Kawamata (threatened by DSE yakuza), Antonio Inoki, Hidehiko Yoshida (behind the J-ROCK logo), and Fuji TV producer Kunio Kiyohara (who is close with Sakakibara).
