Champions of Pride!    ;D

Card looks pretty good.
Arlovski on under card surprises me a bit, he fell out of grace pretty quickly...

I think it's Arlovskis last fight on his contract and he and UFC doesn't get along.

A shame because he's a decent fighter, even though his performance against Sylvia last time was a sleeping pill he's fought and won twice since then (last time against Werdum)

Pretty tough comeback for Tanner though, Okami ain't no joke.
