this will be a tough test for hughes. Hughes is an all around badass, but i don't think he's faced such a HARD striker (as well as accurate) as riggs. Even if it goes to the ground, i think Riggs might control the action with strength. good fight. Hughes will take it with the heart and endurance. He pulls it out all the time.
Glad to hear all the Pride fighters who came off a loss came out with the win this past monday. So many rumors of the NYE card.
CroCop vs Hunt MMA? Hunts camp has circulated their agents are in talks
CroCop vs Fedor II? fans
Nog vs Fedor IV? Nogs camp says that have SIGNED the match
Silva Vs Arona. Very Likely
Sergei vs. Fedor. This seems to be the next serious HW matchup. However, Shockave(Man Festival) has always been a spectacle and not the highlight of the year (which goes to Final Conflict). I except this to be on the first card of 2006, but not on NYE.
Fedor vs Yoshida. Fedor of Sambo and HW Champ facing Japanese Judo fan favorite Yoshida. a chance for Pride to RACK in the crowd buyout and payperview sales. VERY VERY likely
Sergei definently deserves the shot, but i am interested to see Yoshida take the usual BIG ING punch and take it to the ground. As i've heard, Yoshida looks small on your screen, but he is ING HUGE in real life |

| fedor is like the terminator, anybody seen that clip of randleman throwing him on his head and fedor just shaking it off and tapping randleman. insane throw.:p |

Bonnar/Irvin is likely off due to both fighters being injured. I've heard MVA may pull out due to injury as well.
Neither Riggs nor Quarry have earned a title shot, but you've got to give Riggs credit for taking the fight on short notice. Should be a pretty average card, but you can never tell for sure... Sherk/GSP is the true main event imo. |

I like PRIDE fights more than UFC myself..
I like how they deduct 10% of the purse if theres no action.
btw Kazushi Sakuraba is the man! |
