My dream matchups now that Pride/UFC fiasco....
« on: March 23, 2007, 06:47:58 AM »
It probably won't happen but I'd probably climax on the spot if it were setup to be Pride vs UFC, battle of the best tournament. I'm thinking take the top 4 fighters from each of the same weight classes and match them up in a final four type of tournament. It would utterly amazing.

"The new company that will operate Pride apparently won't be run directly by UFC or Zuffa, but will be its own entity owned by the Fertittas, so that Pride and the UFC will operate separately. It is also being reported that the two promotions will hold a joint super show once per year. SportsHochi reports that Pride 34 on April 8th will be the last Pride show run by DSE."

 And how the hell did you come up with Nog vs Vera ??? Vera is way out of Nog's league....
 Speaking about dream matchups
 Bas vs CC/Kharitonov - as far as i know Bas wants to fight, he actually fought last year....and he is still in great shape but looks like Zuffa doesn't want him :-\

Bas might possibly get killed in the ring if he were to fight CroCop. A legend like him doesn't need that kind of beating.

Bas came out strong, powerfull, in great shape against Villareal  a few months ago + huge improvement on the ground since the Randleman fight....Don't know about now but Bas from back in the day would defiantly be a challenge for CC.

Yeah, he looked good in his last fight but CroCop is on a different level. Back in the day I think it would be a great fight.

I read somewhere recently that Bas is not going to fight anymore due to arthritis in his knee  :(

Bas is much too beaten up to fight someone like Mirko.  He had serious injuries preparing for Kimo.

Time for a Pride TUF show to debut. Boy, that would really piss you off, huh? That would really stick a monkeywrench into your "purist" MMA personality.

You say no. I say yes. Money talks.

You know they're keeping both organizations seperate, right dipshit? Move along novice, you've already proven you know jack shit about MMA.

It's going to be hilarious when the Pride fighters win 90% of the fights in the superfight event.

You actually believe that the two won't eventually merge in the near future? That's naive, my friend. What's the reason for keeping the Pride name? Losing fans internationally? Hardly. UFC is planning on monopolizing the sport worldwide. Why else the merger? Get ready for Pride TUF season one next year in Japan. Wow, that will get you steamed, huh? I think it's hilarious how you just chomp at the bit to declare your expertise in MMA when someone makes a point. But I guess you need to be good at something in life, right?

I'm sorry I insulted you with such a theory. ::) Didn't realize you were such a keen expert. No doubt you probably know more than I do about MMA, but so what? I enjoy the sport, what's wrong with that? Is your degree in MMA? If so congratulations for making phi beta cappa. Now go graduate and get into the real world instead of dreaming about Mirko's sweaty speedos.

Pride has the best fighters, any real MMA fan KNOWS this. Its so far ahead in talent its beyond a joke, how can you not see that?! So Pride was sold, an offer was made and gladly accepted and that makes UFC better? If thats the basis of your logic then you should stop participating in backyard wrestling matches as its affecting your sense of reality mate
