Default UFC Buys Rival PRIDE FC...

...just saw this on ESPN.

Looks like there aren't gonna be anymore "contract" problems with getting Pride guys to come fight in the UFC.

Thoughts??

I would have to imagine that they'll adopt the UFC rules, simply because I think some of the Pride rules (stomps to the face, elbows coming down) are actually against the law here in the States...I may be wrong, but that's why a friend of mine told me that the UFC doesn't allow those moves.

That's what I was thinking also. But I'm sure they will still hold fights in Asia. What then?

I don't know...I guess that'll depend on if they have two seperate "conferences" like in Major League Baseball which each has it's own set of rules, or if they completely merge to form one league with universal rules.

Obviously UFC rules will apply or they won't be in the US anymore and Bye Bye venues.

+1 on that.


i'd rather have knees in there and ufc take out elbows to the head. elbows suck. and some fighters have admitted that their whole strategy during a fight is to cut someone open with their elbow strikes to cause a stoppage.

knees are the best.

can't wait for the GP's in pride now

Rogan does know mma,

Rogan was a four-time state Tae kwon do champion before pursuing a career in show business. Rogan earned a black belt at 15 after just two years of training. At 19 he won the US Open Tae Kwon Do Championship, and later as a lightweight champion went on to beat both the middle and heavyweight title-holders to obtain the Grand Championship.Rogan also trains regularly with submission specialist Eddie Bravo.

but he does get annoying. think it is his nasaly voice.

From what I heard, Pride will continue operating in the same fashion it is now. As will the UFC. The only difference will be a once a year event where the top fighters from each organization will compete in a "Superbowl" type event. But while checking for a source, I also saw the UFC lightweights will be competing with the Pride lightweights in their GP. I also heard Fedor will no longer be in Pride because he has a contract with Bodog.
