That would never have happened if the WFA was not around. We have caused Pride and the UFC to work together to stop us.”
Not too far-fetched of a claim I'd say.....

uh no
WFA is flattering themselves
they havent had a single event put out and neither UFC nor Pride need to worry about it yet
the biggest reason for this fight is because Pride wanted it to happen
and guess why?
its because Pride wants to set up shop in the US
the best way to gain the UFC fan base is to expose Silva to them
then the UFC fans would hopefully know what Pride is and watch their events
Pride is the biggest benefactor here(not counting the fans)
