Any MMA fans?

I think I just had an Organism in my pants after reading this :)



The Japanese media reported Monday that UFC owners Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta have acquired PRIDE FC. The deal will be formally announced in a press conference Tuesday.

According to MMAWeekly and Japanese outlet SportsHochi, the Fertittas will run PRIDE as a separate company, albeit not under its previous DreamStage Entertainment banner. PRIDE and UFC will operate separately, with the exception of a dual-brand supershow each year.

MMAWeekly reports that the PRIDE format will not greatly be changed in the short-term—it will run shows in both America and Japan and will follow through with this year's Lightweight Grand Prix.




OMG, Yearly Supercards!

Yeah I can't wait for the super shows. Maybe now we can see Chuck fight silva or shogun. The only thing that sucks is Feder just signed a new contract with bodog.

 

[colinadam]

Was it a long term contract? I know he is doing a show for Bodog coming up but I thought he also re-upped with Pride. Hmmmmm

No, Mixed Martial Arts. Ken Shamrock, Royce Gracie, Tito Ortiz.

After Chuck kills Rampage I can see a Chuck/Wandy match, and for ***** and giggles I want to see them feeding Rampage to Wandy and Shogun again.

Shogun is awesome, future of the sport.

It was for one fight but it's rumored that he will sign a long term contract after the fight. If he does sign a long term deal it will pretty much put bodog right in the mix with ufc and pride.

Thanks for the info. Didn't know that.

Looks like Cro-Cop/Fedor might not happen again for a while, if ever.

Pride has Barnett & Nog
UFC has Cro-Cop
Bodog has Fedor
Amazing to think Pride had them all at one time.

What is Alex (Fedors bro) doing? Sticking with Pride? I heard he wanted to go to the UFC but he has a record and might find it hard to get a Visa.

Not real dialup friendly there buddy :)

I used to like wrasslin back in the day, I remember that. There isn't enough money in the world to get me to be the schmuck getting tossed off of there....

Check out youtube for Shogun v.s. Mark Coleman and Frank Mir v.s. Tim Sylvia if you want to see some real nasty broken bones.

Here's one of the best suplexes you'll ever see! Fedor vs. Randlelman

I train BBJ and MMA but I only compete in BBJ and submission wrestling tournaments. I was planning on having my first fight this summer but with my torn bicep muscle It will probably be next year sometime.
