Look like some strong shows coming up, surprised a little to see Rampage and the Iceman going at it so soon, if it turns out to be true.....

Cool info. You have a source? Anyone know why they aren't giving CroCop an immediate title shot? I mean writing TBA next to CroCop kind of suggests this.

I thought I heard Matt Hughes was fighting on the next PPV as well.

I didnt put this card in the original post, sorry....To me, this card doesnt look really strong, it just has some big names...I think its a bad move considering it will be happening a week after Prides 2nd Vegas show, and that card looks awesome....

I think they want to make it out that there HW division isnt as bad as everyone knows it is. If some unknown guy (to UFC newcomers) comes in and beats the champ in a mauling, it will really make Sylvia look like the sham that he is...

I was watching a Pride fight and saw Cro Cop get KTFO, can't remember the guy but he was a black guy with blonde hair, nailed him on the chin.

Just had to add that.

UFC Unleashed is on right now.:D

It was Kevin Randleman, and Cro cop guillotine choked him out in 41 seconds in their rematch...He has 4 losses: a unanimous decision to Darth Fedor, a split decision to Mark Hunt, an arm bar to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, and the freak knock out by a roided up Randleman.....http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=1440

Oh really in the rematch.

Do you watch the Pride replays with Frank Trigg???

Sometimes, Trigg is easily the most annoying self loving MMA commentator ever, I really cant stand him....

Couldn't agree more, he talks a big game. But, yet he got beat by Hughes everytime they fought. He sits there and talks like he is Mr. Big Shot.

Randleman came as close as any human being to beating Fedor since his reign as #1 hvy weight in the world...that night.

UFC has some really soild cards coming up. Can't wait to see the one in the UK.

 

[MikeO]

I guess the talks are getting serious. PRIDE is about to be sold in the near future. Could happen within weeks.

UFC is in on the talks to buy them. And I guess another party NOT in the MMA business is thinking of buying them as well.

MikeO, that's amazing news if true. Is this just inside info or do you have a source? Anyway, if it happens, it's about time. I want to see Fedor against Sylvia (well first Sylvia and CroCop). I mean let's see exactly how good (or poor) Sylvia is.
