I don't think it's been announced yet on TV. Think they'll show clips of the press conference? More hype footage for former PRIDE guys? Rogan nuttin all over Goldberg?

Probably not at all. Pride is still competition for the UFC.

maybe, though they may be waiting to get the rules and whatnot set before they star hyping it up too much.

Prolly not at all. In time we'll see a few more stare downs and shit setting up the superfights though.

Good points. I think they'll at least mention it since most smart fans already know. Blah blah "This is a historic night..." to open up the show or something. Or in between the fights.

that is a very good point. I doubt it will be mentioned much, maybe in comments like "wouldnt it be nice to see (fighters name) face off with the pride superstar (fighters name). Pride's name might be libel to be thrown around more often during the ufc productions.

Yeah, I think until a large cross-promotional card is set there won't be much difference except that Pride won't be a bad word anymore.

Also, we'll likely see adds for Pride PPV's on UFC content from now on.
