It will not be the biggest in terms of ticket sales, thats for sure. Maybe PPV buys... If they refer to biggest, as in significance, I hardly agree... Pride #1 was the most significant

PRIDE is dead. Get over it.
Go back in time and travel to 2005-2006 if you want to jerk off to when PRIDE was existing.

I'm sure you're blind...
UFC 100 has 0 significance in MMA compared to what Pride did. UFC 100 will be big, and I am happy that there will be some growth in its wake, however it will not bare the same impact as what Pride did for MMA...

Besides, you aren't even american, you aren't allowed to be ashamed of an event or fighter that doesn't represent you in the least.

Oh my god... fuck off with your "god bless America" bullshit.
Brock Lesnar is a freakshow. A talented freakshow but a freakshow nonetheless. No different than Bob Sapp or Hong Man Choi. He just happens to be the newest variety of freakshow. And what does being American have to do with anything?

1) Dont go to Franklin Mcneil for your MMA news. He knows less about MMA than anyone else in the business.
2) It is the biggest event in MMA history. Because of the hype going into it. Most times events are billed as the biggest/best ever before hand, not after. Its not like they are calling it "the highest selling event ever". It probably will be that, but maybe not. But it will be the biggest hyped and most highly anticipated card to date.
