Ufc Joins Force's With Pride

[🪦 krazedkilla ●]

Absolutely man, it just doesn't get any better then this. I've always been a Pride and UFC fan and just can not wait to see what happens and who really is number one. It's gonna kick a$$.

I cant wait to see Wanderlei fight some UFC fighters again

GREAT NEWS! <img src=\"http://forums.NIGHTOWLpro.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> It's been awhile since I've seen a UFC ppv or a Pride event. This will only make the fights and events better. RICH FRANKLIN RULES!!!!!!! I know he lost his middleweight title but, I think he is great fighter with amazing skills. He'll get it back sooner or later.

Awesome news for sure. Crocop is a great and i'd still like to see him kick the shit out of Tim Sylvia. Whatever happened to the Wanderlei vs Liddell fight? Can't wait to see Fedor in there as well.

thats great news.... and even though arlovski is one of my favorite fighters.... and i want him to get his title back soo fffuuuukkkcccing bad i think crocop is going to be a force to reckon with in the heavyweight division but i would love for AA to be champ again ... and let me get off sub. LARS10 whered you get that hoodie/jacket!!!!! i want one lol <img src=\"http://forums.NIGHTOWLpro.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" />

[🪦 adam ●]

Very well put, JoMaX. I think Randy has a little more fight left in him though. I can't see Arlovski being a problem at all though <img src=\"http://forums.NIGHTOWLpro.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"rolleyes.gif\" /> But Randy is just a hero, no matter what. Indeed, some tougher fighters will come his way, but he always seems to have something unexpected up his sleeve. His day will pass eventually, but he's still going strong so we'll see. Liddell has his weight class covered for now. And as for Rich, I've always been a fan of that dude. Just a class act fighter, great guy. Deserves our respect and I'm sure he'll come back with more bite. He's got a second wind and he's fighting a new game. I don't know how Tito Ortiz will fit in through all of this now.. After his fight with Liddell (and I was surprised how much he rocked Chuck), he's just gone down a bit. His trash-talking and drama hijinks are fun and bring attention, but I don't know how much longer he can stay in the sport, when guys from Pride are coming over.Two other guys I've been following and think they are great are Michael Bisping and Diego Sanchez. Can't wait to see those guys fight more, but more than that, I can't wait to see what matches will come about with UFC and Pride working toghether now instead of against each other. Very wise decision, and we may now be able to see who are some of the true top fighters. Another good thing is this will bring more lightweights to UFC... Those lightweight fights are fun to watch! Very fast guys usually. Lets just all hope Chuck Norris doesn't come out of retirement. <img src=\"http://forums.NIGHTOWLpro.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/woot.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":woot:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"woot.gif\" /> <img src=\"http://forums.NIGHTOWLpro.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":lol:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"laugh.gif\" />

Thank's for the reply adam.I as well think sanchez is a great fighter same with bisping.However in this upcoming fight in the ufc 69 shootout card which will have sanchez up against josh koscheck i went with koscheck.Call me crazy but in season 1 of the ultimate fighter the koscheck sanchez first fight was pretty solid.I think josh has been training hard for this for the past year and i can see this ending in a submission.Sanchez as you know is a great ground and pounder and his ground game is excellent.Koscheck is a very similar fighter.Both of them arn't the greatest of striker's but they can handle their own.I honestly think this fight is gonna be based on cardio,a matter of who can out last who.Who will gas out first lol.So i put 20$ on the underdog.

[🪦 adam ●]

Well, I have to disagree with that. I think Koscheck is only good on the ground until he pins you.. then he just doesn't know what to do. Maybe and hopefully he's developed his striking and ground-game a lot, but from all the matches I've seen of him, he just seems like a wrestler trying to make it in MMA. But really, who knows until we see the match eh? <img src=\"http://forums.NIGHTOWLpro.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" />
