    I hope everything remains the same (rules, ring, judges etc)

    If that happens, I can handle fighter swaps from time to time.

    I am most happy that PrideFC is not falling under the ZUFFA umbrella and will be run seperate (at least technically).

    Dana will not run PrideFC, he knows nothing about running a company in Japan.

    The crossover matches could be fantastic, if they will make them happen.

    Ok, it is being said that the new President of PrideFC will be an exec from "Tokai TV" which will most likely lead to FujiTV supporting Pride once again.

    Folks, it could get even better. I hate to see Sakakibara go, he was so passionate about Pride and MMA and understood the warrior spirit of the fighters, he intentionally gave fighters multiple chances regardless of their record because he understands the fighters and what it takes to get in there.

    I will remain optimistic.

    Its about time that this type of thing happens. I think they still need to have a Superbowl of all organizations. One Winner, one champ

    THey had been talk about the Unification of the belts when Randy Couture and Wandy Silva where champs that fight never happened.

    Now we will be able to see Chuck Liddell Vs Wandy, and more of the great fights that where schedule but never happened do to confilc between companies.
