Who in their right mind would choose pride fc now that ufc is so huge. Im still a Liddell fan and i think that hes one fight away from a title shot. However Wanderlei will be tough. We all no that Liddell is human now. its about time that the best come to the ufc were they belong. Who in their right mind would choose pride fc now that ufc is so huge.

Royce neutralized Sakus striking by clinching and pulling guard which kind of made it a boring fight.. There were some times of crazy action, like when Saku reverted to chutebox style with the thai clinch and stared throwing the flying knees heheh that was awesome man.. Royce went out and executed his gameplan perfectly, he tied up Saku and made it a boring fight.. sigh.. oh well, when you watch a Royce gracie fight, you should expect stuff like that. I have no problem with grappling, but he wasnt even CLOSE to finishing him with a submission.. Just holding.. i would have liked to see these guys fight for 90min again, by the time the fight was over they were just getting warmed up.. pretty disappointing fight.. heh yea i saw it man, these guys cant have a good fight in 3, 5 min rounds.

Shogun will kill Rampage, and I am sorry for all you naysayers, but Henderson while really a beast, will lose to Shogun simply because Shogun is a more accurate striker, and is younger, stronger, and more comfortable fighting at 205.. Hendo did an amazing thing winning two titles, going for three is really pushing it but I can't blame him for trying.. @Rich
