A very near source of the brazilian figter comfirms today the second clash between Mauríco Shogun Rua and Alistair Overeem. Who provided the information was the Brazilian athlete's physiotherapist. The Brazilian fighter in person confirmed the fight to him.

Whats you're take on Nick Diaz signing with pride? Do you think he's gonna do any good?

[Panzerfaust]

Gonna be a tough one for him but he might surprise us.

Word has it, it will be Gomi vs Diaz

[Hunter]

All of gomi's losses have come from good bjj guys. Nick could give him trouble, however I see gomi getting a ud. I hope Shogun and Alistar takes place at heavweight so Overeem does not show the art of gassing. Dan and SIlva good fight, Ud for silva. Ko for Sakurai should be a nice Ko. Ko for Sergie to if he doesnt get careless. If Lawer and Cung mached up I would take Lawler over Cung lee.

[Panzerfaust]

With these matchups there are bound to be several KO's in this event.

Anyone else going? C'mon..shit!

He been very good in UFC and has a great stand up this is gonna be a good fight

[Panzerfaust]

I find it very interesting that Trigg is fighting Misaki.

I am glad i don't have to listen to the commentary..ugh! Trigg will not be doing it obviously and Mauro is gone.

[Panzerfaust]

Just got my tickets in the mail 10min ago..

Anyone else changed their mind and going?

you should do the big brother program and adopt me then you can fly me with you, take me to baseball games and stuff, it would be a swell time.

[Panzerfaust]

I know most of you think it is highly expensive, you can fly out there for $400-$500. Doing it my way though will cost you $900-$1200 though with going early and staying at a nice hotel on the strip.

My favorite fighters are silva and shogun I love the way the chuteboxe fighters fight for the ko. I just hope that the ban of stomps and soccerkicks dont allow henderson and overeem to stand a chance against shogun. Hendo is a good all around fighters last match silva threw everything he had at him and the tough sob still wouldnt give up even though silva hand his hand around his throat and pounding him w/ the other one not to mention the series of stomps. Shogun just literally stomped out overeem last time but even w/out the stomps shogun will find a way to win because he is pretty well rounded and in my eyes the best at 205 in the world. Gomi better not lose just because it would be a huge discredit to the lighter weight classes in pride. I do like the pride rules better because even w/out the stomps and soccerkicks you wont see a fight ended on a cheap cut by an elbow. Elbow strikes can be harmless leading to a ko sometimes but end a match because they cause little gashes that bleed prefusely. I think its a cheap way to win personally screw the elbows and go for the Ko.


Chuteboxe would own Militich and everyone knows it

I think Nick Diaz surprises everyone and wins by submission... (don't ask me why I hate Diaz, just a preminition) and I think Silva TKO's Henderson..

diaz fighting at 155? he seems pretty small at 170 let alone 155

Shogun had Oveereem mounted and got a tko, he did not stomp overeem.

[mullcap]

your rite u stomped out the french dude cyrpil diabate i think is who i may have been thnking of. it looked like he was doing a stairmaster on his face.

what will diaz weigh in at b/c its a non title so will there be a weight limit? i thnink the little guy division in pride cuts off at 162 over there its def not 155 though

[Panzerfaust]

Remember guy's, Pride's LW limit is 160lbs. Diaz will make it no problem, Gomi will be bigger than him of course.

Bottom line it will be a war because neither fighter will back down and i say it stays on the feet. I doubt Diaz can get Gomi down, hell i bet he does'nt try to much.

I think it will be Gomi by TKO, but he will know he was in a fight.

[Sepsis]

im rooting for overeem, if that guy had any stamina he would be holding a belt right now

[technomarine_888]

Trigg? .. oh well he's a good commentator..

[technomarine_888]

Yo Murilo.. good luck to your brotha.. I hope he kicks ass...

[technomarine_888]

Ninja.. what anime is on ure avatar? ..

[mullcap]

i hope wanderlei smoked hendo and sends him over to ufc so he can take the middleweight title over here and open the eyes to the world how much better pride is. after mirko takes the hw and already anderson who was 2-2 in pride will probably roll anyone in his weight class unless hollywood comes over already show how easy it is for pride fighters to take it to the ufc'ers. hopefully rampage who got totally dominated by all of chuteboxe can take out chuck one more time.
