Mirko using PRIDE theme as UFC walk in song!!!!

[Voice of Doom]

Well...actually, thats the topic:  Mirko using PRIDE theme as UFC walk in song!!!!

Anyone else catch that?   I cant decide if it was to say he was still part of PRIDE (on the sly) or a sort of FU to the PRIDE organization.


Any thoughts?

More like an FU to the UFC organization. He's already said he wants to fight Fedor on NYE in Japan. He's a Pride fighter at heart.

After pride, it felt strange seeing him fight in such a small venue...

the ufc is selling themselves short by siging pride superstars; it simply underlines how lacking their product is in comparison

a smarter strategy would be to focus their $$$ on up and comers and getting more infostructure for their scouting program worldwide, and let pride fizzle out in 5 years

now pride will probably be able to say their boys are holding 2 belts in the ufc, and they werent holding belts (although mirko won the heavy grand prix) in pride

Yeah big mistake signing Pride's second best and most popular fighter 

But I did miss the Duran Duran song.

I've heard that that statement was retracted...that it wasn't Cro Cop that said it but one of his trainers.  Haven't been able to find a good source either way but read that on Sherdog

IDK, but using Pride highlights, using a DSE trademarked song, saying that they are going to be getting every fighter they want, sounds like the UFC may have part ownership of DSE like it was formerly rumored.
