UFC 71 (spoilers)

She's a Gracie?

She's friggin hot! Easily would sign on as a grappling partner for her to train with.... Even though I haven't trained in about a year and a half

I'm generally appalled, horrified and aghast that Pride fighters are being hand picked and brought into the UFC and that the conjecture about Pride and UFC operating as separate entities appears unfounded (bringing Henderson into UFC confirms this I'd say)

As to whether the UFC has the balls to bring the large number of Pride fighters who aren't english speakers is another worry, especially as it's enirely possible that each UFC title could be owned by Brazilians, Japanese and Russians.

I'm not really sure as to how the better quality Pride fighters will be treated by the UFC, giving them instant title shots appears wreckless; either you end up with champions that booing morons at live shows don't know/care about (Rampage????), or they lose and you seem to have to build them back up.

A good fighter could easily lose 3 fight in a row and be the 4th best fighter in world, but how can the casual fan differentiate them from a Robbie Lawler or Vernon White.

Random points -

Chute boxe wins will be a lot less impressive as they won't be able to soccer kick their opponents heads off.

How the hell are they going to hype Fedor? He doesn't speak a word of english, is calm and isn't full of steroids. His fights aren't flash, he basically dominates and dismantles.

At least Sylvia can go, but is Mark Hunt over 265lbs???

As the UFC seems intent on hyping the lightweights, are they going to have to split then and the wleterweights into a Bushido equivalent, because ticket sales would sure ensure it (unfortunately) does not survive.

Plz don't bring in Arona.

Def no space for Lindland now! LOLOLOLOLOL



Comments and opinions on how things could pan out please. I know it's too early to tell but this is the internet, I wanna SPECULATE!

bring takanori gomi pls k thx.

I agree that alot alot alot of pride fighters will be left in the dust and joe shlub from shlubville usa will not know who Fedor is or fuck even henderson for that matter. Big nog is set to fight soon and alot of people will be like 'who da fack is dis brah' and when they see he is a magician on the ground and rarely throws the booing will commence. Hopefully UFC fans will appreciate the technical fights rather than seeing some bro get 'fucked up, guy'


THe middle weights from pride are gonna be pissed considering
UFC is real deep there
Most are unknown
UFC will take roughly 3 and let them compete.

I do think LHW and HW will be filled with pride fighters dominating in a very short while.
If they decide to actually bring some middle weights then the UFC might get real interesting.

edit: this looks to be an outstanding card. Cept tito.
