Well let's take a closer look at this "awesome" card...
Nobody gave a shit when Nick Diaz fought in UFC.
Dan Henderson is a good fighter, but 14 outta his 26 fights went to decision (including his last 4 fights) that doesn't make him that exciting.
Overeem has lost 3 of his last 4 fights.
Danzig comes straight from KOTC.
Trigg lost twice in UFC and after that he wasn't very interesting. Pride picking up UFC's leftovers.
Wiuff is a nobody. Won 2 outta his 5 lasts fights. (and those 2 wins was against one with a 0-4-0 record and one with a 13-15-0 record!!) I'm sure Nakamura will have big problems with him...
Sokoudjou got 3 fights, 2 wins, 1 loss (against Glover Teixeira, who has lost against Ed Herman!!) And he's matched against Rogerio who is 12 and 2 (who has wins over Dan Henderson and Overeem in 2 of his last 3 fights)
Gilbert Yvel has quite a Pride record... 9 times fighting in pride, 7 losses, 1 win and 1 no contest...
There's no way in hell UFC would let someone lose 7 times and win ONCE and continue to fight for them, but in Pride this apparantely is NO problem...
Cung Le probably should stick to San Shou.
Wes Sims... more UFC leftovers. After his 3 losses in a row back in 2004 he wasn't wanted in the UFC anymore. Pride, getting desperate, have no problem taking him up...
When UFC signs CroCop and Rampage - Pride signs Wes Sims and Frank Trigg
