I think Chute Boxe in general was a bad matchup for Rampage as Shogun mauled him even more easily than Wanderlei, probabley because he loved to try for the clinch to setup his slams and their deadly with the knees from there. While he doesnt look as good as he did in 2003 I could still see him being a good test for Liddell though, his standup is alot better than the likes of Babalu and Tito and his shear strenght from the clinch maybe enough to get it to the ground.

There's cage rage at wembley arena on the 20th feb. Apparently Butterbean (the fax ex novelty boxer) is fighting. Not exactly Pride but think i might take a look.

Don't forget UFC 67 is showing tonight on Bravo...
I want to know what's all this about CroCop using the Pride theme song - could be another fascinating year for MMA.

Could certainly be nothing but equally it could be far more significant than anyone is realising right now...

Crocop supposidly asked for it himself so I don't think its a sign of an imminant UFC takeover of Pride. If you read his recent interviews he seems keen to keep up his connection with Pride, wanting a fight with Fedor on NYE if he's UFC champion by then. If your cynical you could put that down to the fact he probabley makes buckets of cash from endorsements/advertising in Japan so wants to keep up his profile there.

But by playing the Pride music you're promoting the opposition and there's no way Dana White would do that unless there was something in it for him...

I think the post fight interview showed that Crocop is much more independant than pretty much anyone else in the UFC. Letting him use the track to help his image back in Japan would be a small sacrifce plus I don't think the UFC audience would be that keen on Wild Boys.

UFC 70 in Manchester April 21st.
Tickets on presale today apparently and general sale Friday. Anyone know how to get the presale tickets as I fancy turning up to this and figure it'll be tough to get them via general sale on Friday.

Speaking of which the Manchester event currently has...
Mirko Cro Cop vs. Gabriel Gonzaga Fabricio Werdum vs Andrei Arlovsky Forrest Griffin vs. Lyoto Machida Michael Bisping vs. Elvis Sinosic Tickets went on sale today. As of an internet pre sale yesterday, they had sold 3,000 of the 13,700 tickets with a gate of $504,000.

Crazy night in Las Vegas for Pride 33:
Joachim Hansen b. Jason Ireland via submission (armbar) at 2:33 of Round 3. Frank Trigg b. Kazuo Misaki via unanimous decision. James Lee b. Travis Wiuff via submission (guillotine) at :39 of Round 1. Sokoudjou b. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira via KO at :23 of Round 1. Hayato Sakurai b. Mac Danzig via KO at 4:01 of Round 2. Sergei Kharitonov b. Michael Russow via submission (armbar) at 3:46 of Round 1. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua b. Alistair Overeem via KO at 3:37 of Round 1. Nick Diaz b. Takanori Gomi via submission (gogoplata) at 1:46 of Round 2. Dan Henderson b. Wanderlei Silva via KO at 2:08 of Round 3. Unfortunately, my PPV feed went out in Round 1 of the first fight, so I'm gonna have to catch a replay.

Great display by Couture tonight...totally dominated Tim Sylvia. The opening 10 seconds pretty much dictated the entire fight.

Cro Cop will obviously knock him out, but well done Randy. I loved the way as soon as Sylvia tried to blame it on an injury the crowd booed him. |
