Middleweight GP Semifinals/Finals
Wanderlei Silva vs. Ricardo Arona
Alistair Overeem vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua
PRIDE Heavyweight Championship
Fedor Emelianenko(c) vs. Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic
Tank Abbott vs. Hidehiko Yoshida
Fabricio Werdum vs. Roman Zentsov
Igor Vovchanchyn vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura
This show looks sick. I'd lay down the 30 bucks just to see Cro Cop vs. Fedor. Add Arona vs. Silva (I could see Arona possibly being the one to dethrone Silva), Overeem vs. Shogun, the MW GP Finals, and Vovchanchyn vs. Nakamura, and you have the most stacked MMA card this year imo. Can't wait till' next Sunday.

Fedor vs. Cro Cop should be insane. Silva vs. Arona could also be interesting. I'd be all over this show if it weren't for the fact I won't be in the country.

I dont follow Pride *or much MMA outside of UFC recelty*, but i watched a Hype video for Cro Cop vs Fedor and both men look good...but why is this being hyped as the biggest MMA match EVER?

It's kind of like UFC's Couture vs. Liddell...only I guess a better version would be Couture vs. Shamrock in his prime if that makes sense. They're both two HUGE legends there. |

Because it is one of the biggest MMA matches ever, it's up there with Frank Shamrock/Royce Gracie, Tito Ortiz/Ken Shamrock and Chuck Liddell/Randy Couture I think Cro Cop's steamrolling is going to end with a Fedor knockout. As for the tournament it's Silva's to lose ever sense his unfair (in my eyes) win over Yoshida. I'm bitter what can I say. |

Wow what a show, nobody and I repeat nobody can beat Fedor he is unstopable. My working theory is he is a machine built by the same people who built Kobashi.

Awesome show. Fedor vs. Cro Cop and the 3 tourny matches were great. Seeing Arona dominate Silva was awesome. So was seeing Shogun dominate Arona in the finals. Fedor vs. Cro Cop was awesome, but I would have loved a finish. Overeem vs. Shogun was just an awesome sprint.
Great show from PRIDE.
