Do they have to change some of the rules to get matches sanctioned?

Nothing to do with the OWGP. The GP finishes in September.

As for the rules, I'm curious about that. Since the NSAC has to sanction it, I am expecting no knees, stomps and soccer kicks.

A rumor originally was Fedor vs Rulon Gardner. But I highly doubt it.

As for rules... I beleive that I've heard that the 10 minute 1st round was ruled eligible, as was the 5-rope ring. Sorry if I'm wrong.

hope they put on an awesome card to show the world that MMA is the best sport in the world....

woudnt that be great. first rulon beat karelin, and next fedor. saku is the gracie killer and rulon would be known as the russian killer.
chances of that happening: -10%

thanks... but this is really just a blatant attempt at getting a free ride to the pride show it's a pipe-dream, but you never know....

I think during the broadcast the other night I heard Trigg or Mauro say that either Fedor or Wand would be the main event so it sounds like they really don't know yet. I assume Wand would not be if he is fighting in September now.

I also think the other guys is right about the rules. No kicks/knees to a downed opponent but the 5 rope ring was approved. There was an article about this a while ago on mmaweekly but a lot of it was still unknown at the time.
