Hendo vs Rampage = Pride vs Pride

It's funny Dana has marketed this fight as UFC vs Pride. Funny thing is, they're both Pride fighters. No matter who wins, Pride takes the bragging rights of producing the LHW Champ. Don't get me wrong, this is not a post to reignite the whole Pride > UFC debate, but this match is what it is...

No, they're both contracted to fight in the UFC, so really, it's a UFC vs. UFC fight.

Sorta like when Fedor and Nog went at it. RINGS took the bragging rights! Haha! Nuts on PRIDE because I'm sure RINGS was laughin their asses off that two of their best fighters were taken from them leaving them in a pile of their own shit. Ha ha!

Let me ask you this... how many fights does someone have to have before they are considered a fighter of that organization?

Rampage has had two fights in the UFC. He's now a UFC fighter. In fact, he's champion.

After Wanderlei got his ass beat by Vitor Belfort and Tito Ortiz in the UFC he went to Pride... How many fights did it take him in Pride, before you considered him a "Pride Fighter"? Or was he always a UFC fighter, fighting in Pride? This would mean a UFC fighter dominated for what? 5 years in Pride?

I guess UFC > Pride then.

Yeah it is stupid really. I'm sure Dana wanted Vanderlei vs. Liddell, but they couldn't hold onto their belts. Besides that people still think shogun rua is number 1 in the LHW division. If he destroys Griffin, he should get a title shot against the winner immediately so everyone will know for sure, without a doubt, who the number one LHW fighter in the world is.

All the advertising hype is that it's a unifying match for both PRIDE & UFC titles. And no mater how you wanna position it, both fighters are products of Pride.

WOW?

Then when Saku / Wanderlei fought in Pride it was really UFC vs UFC since they both fought in the UFC before Pride.
