good strategy by pride

I think the bottom line, is that we (hopefully) will be able to see a great fight that we've been wanting for years now.

Sakakibara knows what kids around here don't. No matter what some of us have been saying about the U.S. market being the top of the food chain and hwo the UFC has the biggest advantage of all the MMA promotions for the future at the moment.. there is a huge opposition around here shouting how "MMA main stream in japan there is no way fighters will ever make money in U.S. like they do there.. They have action figures! durrh.."

At least the people in charge know whats going on, and hopefully PRIDE can keep afloat and make a dent so we will have increased fighter payouts, more crossover promoting, and better tailored cards.

There is honestly enough room for 2 large MMA organizations in the world......

thanks, nice read, I am a pride hugger myself but also love UFC. Hope both Orgs and WFA blow up in the US to lead to some real nice rivalries

Honda, Toyota, Sony Playstation, sushi, Dance Dance Revolution, and now PRIDE FC! It's a silent Japanese invasion of America.

Liddell will walk through Silva like he has every other fighter at 205. He's as good as it gets right now.

Youre a fucking jack-ass.
