Wow.
This must be final confirmation, yeah?
A supershow sounds great and keeping the promotions separate so as not to antagonize fans on either side as well.
30-40.000 for the live gate is something to invest in I suppose.

hopefully they dont have the same people make the fights that make them for ufc, tired of ufc protecting fighters just to build them up a little more with some wins

UFC Vs. PRIDE supershow once a year could be superb... Fedor Vs. Sylvia..? First live execution on TV :)

Its too early to tell if this is good or bad. We will just have to wait and see, so far it sounds like this could be an awesome thing.
I like the idea of running them as separate orgs, with a super fight once in a while. The only problem I see is that Pride, now bought by an American company, will lose steam with the Japanese audience. But who knows???
