So FINALLY we get to see Fedor fight some UFC peeps? And Maybe Chuck v. Henderson or even Chuck v. Wandy? OR a Tito v. Wandy ReMatch?
Please let them come up with some good fights!

Yes its about time the rest of the world knows about Fedor. Guys gotta be the best fighter on the planet.

Fedor vs Arlofsky. That would be the fight.
Chuck will still dominate Light Heavyeight.And we'll get to see more Frank Trigg but with a goatee and a toupee. UFC he wears a wig, Pride he'll have a goatee. That's the rumor.

:) I love when I discover fellow mma fans amongst the PVN.
Note: Though it's been confirmed by MMA Weekly, you should know that this weekend Dana White said nothing is in stone yet:

Fedor v. Anyone... let him fight once a week!

In my next life I hope to be an mma fighter. I've gotten my GF into watching it and, ironically, none of the PPV's we've watched lately have been blood-baths like some were that I told her about before she started watching it with me.

My fiance falls alseep 30 minutes into the ppv.. she's not into it at all..

We are both under the assumption, no, strike that, the obvious conclusion that CroCop is going to dismantle Couture to the n'th degree, right?
I was so happy to see Couture beat Sylvia though. One of the best nights ever!

this is good news for pride fans, considering it may have been the end of pride without this move. they recently lost their broadcast deal in japan and are being forced out by the yakuza-backed k1

Ya.. I don't think Randy is gonna get thru Cro Cop- his fight v. Silva was insane- best fight of the year for me (I am not a Tim fan...)
I want to see Cro Cop and Avlorski, and anyone and Fedor- Randy, Tim, Brandon Vera (eh, maybe not),
The matches are endless now- and finally - ONE REAL TITLE BELT!!

This is good from a card standpoint (depending on how often they let cross league fight happen), but dear god I hope UFC doesn't get their crappy cheese hands to deep into Pride's format. Fedor FTW!
But like I said in another thread earlier this year UFC had to do something. Pride was gaining popularity and nipping at UFCs heels, hence them bringing Crocop and Jackson over to spark up the interest.

Anyone watching this weekly IFL thing? Not too shabby..

IFL is comin up.. and I really like the Ruas v. Smith fight soon- Ruas Vale Tudo has put a ton a great fighters out there, as has Smith's gym.. sure they are both in their 40's... but its a great rematch

I just got hooked on PRIDE on FOX Sports channel. Fedor is a killer.
What happened to his bro Aleksander, the dude with the Grim Reaper holding a baby tattoo on his back?
- bauts1060
I think those are tattoos he got in prison. What was he sent there for? Armed robbery or something?

Alex is fighting on the BoDog card in Russia along with Fedor..
