The Pride boys are coming and they are winning...oops....Cro Cop got KOed. Herring lost in his firs fight in the UFC. Why oh why does just about every thread get truned into a Pride vs. UFC????
How was Chuck being protected?? He fought everybody they put in front of him. He went to Pride and fight 3 times. This is getting crazy

Jardine is slow but he's a huge guy. Chuck hasn't fought a striker since 2003, when he lost to Page for the first time. This might be an upset, considering that Chuck is truly a one-trick pony

should be a quick easy fight for liddell. very disappointing

Not fighting Shogun because Dana is protecting "both" wait wait....
Oh!!! because he wants to rise Shogun in America....
then what a better way to rise him than letting him KO Liddell a.k.a the MMA Icon for Americans
get some common sense .

Ya that will build his respect after the fight but it does nothing to hype the fight before it happens. think about, lets say your a casual fan and you dont know much about mma and your favorite fighter is sherk, you see one or two commercials saying that this guy you have never heard of is extremely dangerous and he is getting to fight sherk right away your just going to think that they are just saying that he is dangerous to sell tickets.
it was real easy hyping the fight between rampage and chuck because all they had to do is show clips of rampage dominating chuck.
shogun is a complete unknown to the casual american fan. so to a casual fan chuck vs. jardine would sound way better to you then chuck vs. unknown fighter (shogun)
trust me i think this is a throw away fight too but from a bussiness point of view it makes way more sense and although mma is a sport it is a bussiness too.
think about it, there are what like 6 or 7 thousand people on this website who are hardcore fans and pay per view sales in the millions, so i say there are at least a couple hundred casual fans to every one hardcore fan. so to make money who would you want to make happy hundreds of casual fans or 1 hardcore fan.
SO get some common sense.

I think Wandy just doesnt want to lose 3 in a row...and this would be the 3rd brutal beatdown in a row..I mean im a fan of pride as much as UFC...but cmon..all the nuthuggers come out..look what happens when you come over from pride most of their fighters have lost..Cro cop..Werdum..Herrings Debut....and Shogun is fighting Machida which isnt going to be an easy fight...and im curios to see how good his is gonna be without his stomps and kicks.but so far guys that have come from pride other than Rampage and Anderson SIlva havent faired that great in the UFC.

How do you become a premium member around here?? If Wanderlei didn't want to lose three in a row, he wouldn't of said he'd take the fight this year after stating he wanted to sit the year out. 3rd brutal beatdown?? lol You're hilarious, Wanderlei would knock out Chuck in one round. Chuck has been outstruck by Rampage twice, Randy the 1st time, Tito the 2nd time, Vernon White for a while etc. Rampage couldn't box Silva, he got destroyed. Silva is way more of a complete fighter then Chuck, he has just as hard hands if not harder, faster, better combinations, muay thai, BJJ, good takedowns. Chuck has a straight right. WOW.
Lol you're joking right?? Cro Cop was arrogant, let me catch you up on something because clearly despite your claim you never watched PRIDE, he got knocked out by Kevin Randleman. He lost to Nog, he lost to Fedor. He lost to Wanderlei the first time (even though it was a draw)...it was the UFC that hyped him as the best, we all know there's a guy named Fedor that would run through any three guys in the UFC in one night. With that being said, watch what Cro Cop does now that he's pissed off and motivated, I smell doom for UFC heavyweights. Werdum?? He was never s**t in PRIDE, never. But he did knock out Gonzaga didn't he??? He was never top 5 in PRIDE and in UFC right away they throw him to Arlovski. Arlovski did nothing, so I don't see what your point is there. And finally Herring, thanks for exposing yourself as the UFC loyalist you are. Herring was never top 10 in PRIDE, Nog beat him twice, Fedor demolished him, and Cro Cop almost killed him. He hadn't fought in the org for years, he comes to UFC, they build him up as this great PRIDE HW. If you actually watched PRIDE instead of pretending you do then I guess you would know he was never any good. But like usual you bought into the UFC hype machine. You're "curios" to see how Shogun will do without stomps and knees to the head on the ground?? Well I got an idea, watch his fight vs Overeem (number 2) in Vegas, and his fight vs Randleman in Vegas. Then watch him destroy the UFC poster boy Rampage in 5 minutes all standing, with strikes he could use in UFC. Then watch him destroy Ricardo Arona and out BJJ Lil Nog. Maybe then it will finally sink in that PRIDE's talent is vastly superior to UFC's and you have no idea what you're talking about therefore shouldn't speak.
BTW, Rampage and A. Silva could never win the strap in PRIDE, and both at the end of their PRIDE careers were mediocre, they come to the UFC and dominate. Hmmm, I wonder why.

This fight would have made sense if Jardine had won his last fight, but the fact is he got his ass beat by Houston Alexander in about a minuet. This fight doesn't make sense for so many reasons. I don't have a problem with Liddell getting to fight someone who isn't a top 5 fighter to get himself back mentaly, but Jardine? WTF? sure I will enjoy watching Jardine get his ass handed to him. I no I loved watching Alexander do it, that was an awsome TKO. However there are a few guys out there who deserve a shot to make a name for themself more then Jardine. Really what has he done to deserve this shot? Beat Griffen? OK thats respectable, he even made him cry. But wouldn't everyone like to see Jardine Vs Griffen 2, way more then this fight. I think that fight makes alot more sense for Jardine, make him prove it wasn't a fluke, and give a deserving Griffen a shot to redeem himself. As for Liddell, the problem is there aren't alot of fights out there that make sense for him outside the 3 or 4 elite fighters in this Division. So mabey instead of rewarding Jardine for losing to Houston Alexander, Why don't they reward Alexander for beating Jardine? Mabey I'm crazy but that seems logical to me. I no that was Houston's first UFC fight but I think he is schedualed to fight Alessio Sakara at UFC 75. So if he wins that convincingly give him to Liddell. I no The UFC is scared shitless about Chuck losing again, but he is a top of the food chain guy so he can't be going against guys who don't deserve to be where he is yet, just to get some highlight footage. Come on Dana, your better then that.

Well the reason for diaz winning was because gomi didnt take him seriously and yeah i believe the welterweights are the only superior fighters over pride every other weight class is dominated by pride.

well forget Shogun vs Chuck I would have rather seen Babalu vs Shogun 2
The last time I saw shogun in a cage he got Choked by this guy Tito calls a "B level fighter" untill Shogun can prove he can fight under american rules in a cage I wouldnt talk like he is big and bad in the cage
also with CroCop he couldnt hang on Courtures jock hell he couldnt even win the fight to get to fight courture he found out that the Octogon(cage) is no joke(PrideFC ring)
I would rather see Wandi vs Tito 2 as well
I have Been a MMA fan for some time Loved Pride R.I.P. as well as love the UFC live long and strong

Hang on Randy's jock? Randy's jock would be hanging from the rafters if they fought, Randy's head would be close by after being kicked off. I may be wrong but I believe when I watched wandy tito I saw tito acctually turn his back and run...wow good job UFC there. You put a focused Mirko in a cage when he's acctually traind there trust me he'll dominate every UFC heavy weight. Big nog will crush any of them on the ground, fedor will just plain crush them, Barnett was the UFC champ, didn't get it in pride, Arlovski coulden't finish werdum, Mirko, fedor, barnett, hell wandy would probly kill him, big tim....well...I know people don't like to face it but the PRIDE HW LHW and LW div are much better then the UFC's then UFC's WW div is better then prides.

First off ive never Bragged about owning anything...you made a statement that ive never seen a pride event..I just stated that i own a few pride dvds...and just cause you own 170 MMA dvds does not make any more knowledgable than anyone else on here...unfortunatly opinions are like assholes and we all have one...and thats all we do is speak what we think or feel...any 1 fighter..especially chuck and wandy have the ability to knock anyone out with 1 punch or kick.I dont know what hole or gutter you climbed out of from sherdog...But you seem like your the E BULLY who has bag on everyone for their posts...cause you think your some MMA messiah or something..get over yourself man and deal with others opinions...opinions are not right or wrong...
