wannalift Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 round 2 of Total Elimination Absolute is this weekend. if you want to see what good heavyweight fighters look like, don't miss this. any one of the remaining heavyweight fighters (less Yoshido) would mop the floor with any UFC heavyweight. Not mention the Emelienenko brothers who aren't even in the tournament (Alexander was eliminated by Josh Barnett). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannalift Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 i'll call it first, Josh Barnett as the Absolute champion. it will set up a real good Barnett/Fedor fight for the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinisterkungfu Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I just recently discovered that they show PrideFC on FSN (Fox Sports), which I didn't have added to my channel list because I generally don't watch sports.Wish I had known that before. Up until this weekend I haven't really been able to watch much Pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I watched the Pride PPV event last night and it was pretty awesome. I assume it was a PPV event, but anyway, it was cool to watch. There are some tough, tough guys out there! I'm sure I'll be watching more of it in the future.....especially over at xdarthveganx's house.

Not mention the Emelienenko brothers who aren't even in the tournament (Alexander was eliminated by Josh Barnett).really? you don't think Yoshido could hang in the UFC? i think he has a good shot at submitting tim sylvia, and several others. i agree with you on the rest of the statement, and i'd like to see it happen too. i also catch some PrideFC shows on FSN. i read on another thread that they are in some financial trouble. what kind of trouble? like going out of business trouble? how does a company with such great athletes go out of business? as has been pointed out many times before, Pride has some of the best fighters in the world. i was pleasantly surprised to see Pride Middleweight Champion Wanderlei Silva at last nights UFC PPV to announce he will be fighting Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell. it was probably the most exciting thing that happened last night.

ronnie kray Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 the final four matchups have been announce in the tournament for the Absolute Champion. it will be Crocop vs. Wanderlai Silva and Josh Barnett vs. Antonio Nogueria. the winner will probably face Fedor after that. man i wish i could watch this in Portland at one of these PPV get togethers.

wannalift Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 that matchup is dumb. two strikers against each other and two grapplers against each other. oh well, should be a good final though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnie kray Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 i found this crazy PRIDE interview. it was Bas "El Guapo" Rutten interviewing Kevin "The Monster" Randleman, who he fought earlier and had a close decision over. it turned a little ugly real quick. check it out and make sure you watch it until the end.

ronnie kray Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 yeah you tube is great. i've been posting links all over the place. thinking of UFC vs. Pride, i found some rankings of MMA fighters worldwide from MMAfighting.com. in the heavyweight division, the first 5 are Pride fighters. Fedor is #1, no surprise there. in all, 8 are in Pride with only 2 UFC heavyweights in the top ten. the top ranked light heavyweight is also a Pride fighter, though the UFC does have 4 fighters in the light heavyweight top 10. on the other hand, the top ranked middleweight is the current UFC champ rich franklin. the UFC did best in the welterweight division, with the top 4 fighters all in the UFC. here is the list. discuss.

Theres gonna be so much hype for the Liddell-Silva fight. Even if Babalu does win, I think Liddell and Silva should still fight. I bet you they fight no matter what. Everybody i talk to is stoked about that match up. If Dana White was smart hed make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnie kray Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 bad news, there are reports floating around that the Silva vs. Liddel fight has been called off. apparently they are opting for a Liddel vs. Ortiz rematch. i am not sure whether i believe this, because that would mean that the Liddel/Ortiz would rematch would be in November. but i hear that Ortiz is set to have his 3rd bout with Shamrock in October. i can't imagine that Tito would book two matches so close to each other. from what i hear, after a fight you can't get medically cleared for your next fight for at least 8 weeks. so these stories seem to conflict each other, but they are both coming from pretty good sources. the Shamrock/Ortiz news i got from Sherdog.com, and the Liddel/Ortiz fight i got from MMA Weekly. i hope this news isn't true. i would rather see chuck up against wanderlai first. here is the link to the story if anyone wants to read it.

pazios2002 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 watched pride last night on FSN NE from like 7 or 8 pm to 11pm some welterweight tournament. It was produced for FSN by Pride. The ref even had on a FSN labeled shirt. It was good. Also watched some MMA from Newengland on some channel, I forget. Alex Carrilexus (sp) was on and Kenny florian will be at their payperview to sign autographs the hosts of hte show said that those two began there careers in that organization. They use an octagon of ropes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
