He's been shuffled to the bottom of the deck twice in a devastating fashion. Move him to gatekeeper status, maybe?

How about he doesn't go? If Shogun wants Babalu, he knows where Babalu is. It's the same place that pays the big bucks and gives fighters title shots.

He's got plenty of competition where he is. Chuck, Tito, Rampage would all beat him.

Babalu is still under contract and there are plenty of fights he could take. Chuck is 37 and wont be champ forever. I think sobral has a lot of potential matchups Id like to see: Tito, Jardine, Rashad, Bisping, Rampage etc. I love Shogun, but I think he has looked a little weak since his injury, and I see Sobral beating him.

It would be more excited to see him in the pride ring, so we can have some new match ups, sobral vs ninja, or lil nog, or wandy, or alistair or arona or shogun...He is probably better fighter in the ring than in a cage!

I posted the same thread before and the general consensus was that Dana wont be doing any favors for Pride especially if he thinks he has Pride by the balls.
