Is Diaz/Gomi confirmed? My trainer just fought Danzig up in Canada a few mths ago... He lost a decision.
What is an aspect you don't prefer Pride in? They win in everything for me.
I watched Crocop vs Sanchez and
Spoiler:
....it went just like I expected. I hoped for a cleaner K.O. but whatever. Crocop dominated like he should have. I haven't watched Rampage yet but I know how the fight went. Nice to know Pride is representing over in UFC.
As for Pride 33, Shogun vs Overeem is now confirmed. Can't wait to see that.

I try to ALWAYS order Pride Events. The atmosphere is incredible, the fights are ALL great, and the announcers (Bas Rutten and Mauro which no longer are the announcers 🙁 ) were great.
The only thing i dislike about Pride, is the event they have in USA. They try to match it up as "other countries vs USA". Not the best idea.

Are you sure little Nog vs Rameau confirmed?
Anyone have any predictions? Could Henderson go home with the belt?
Originally posted by StyleTimei wasn't trying to convince anyone. just pointing out why i like the Pride events better. i like mma regardless of which organization i watch (i just prefer Pride 😛)
Hey, you don't have to convince me. Pride is my favorite as well. I only wanted to know the one aspect you [B]don't like about Pride.Are you sure little Nog vs Rameau confirmed?
Anyone have any predictions? Could Henderson go home with the belt? [/B]
I want Hendo to go home with 2 belts, but i dont see it happening at all.
Wandy via Decision
Gomi via TKO
Nakamura via Decision
Sakurai via TKO
Misaki via Decision (but Trigg can surprise me)
Rogerio via TKO (not sure if the fight is 100% confirmed yet)
i'll keep you guyz updated.
if anyone wants UFC 67, just send me a PM.
and if anyone wants to watch Pride fights. Im uploading them whenever i have time. If anyone has requests just let me know

I've always liked Dan, but Silva has aggression and wgt. on him... Will be tough fight for him. Their 1st fight was great.
Don't forget, Silva will not be allowed to use his knees and feet to Henderson's head if Dan goes down. That will work towards the benefit of Henderson.

I hate special rules... If you're gonna fight...fight. I'd never count Dan out, that dude is tough, and he's a class act.
Originally posted by MMA_Fan_Mattyea but Kharitonov is fighting Mike Russow. Kharitonov should have no trouble dismantling Russow. Hopefully Kharitonov shoulder is doing better. that's the reason he lost to Aleksander and Overeem.
Hey guys new to the forum. The Sergei Kharitonov vs Gilbert Yvel fight has been called off due to Yvel not being allowed to fight in Nevada.
