For a pair of guys I haven't before heard of, this was a pretty awesome fight. One-sided but both guys showed good heart and constant action.Quote:

Thanks for the fights, Kaneda, and the reason Bif Naked is all over Bodog Fight is because she's signed to their label.
I believe the real reason is she is humping the guy who owns it.Quote:

Awesome fight, though. I had the suspicion it would be. And it delivered.
Silly video formats for the lose.

Diaz is a total idiot, but I like watching his grappling.
I'm a huge gogoplata fan as well.
Woots.
Pride was fucking awesome. Crazy upsets. Hendo is my new hero. Gomi was way out of shape. Pride needs to stop putting him in non-title fights; it's clear he doesn't take them seriously. And how the fuck does Little Nog not only get knocked out, but get knocked out by a judoka who just started to train striking?
It's weird because I've never seen one in MMA before, and now I've seen them twice in the past couple months (the other one being in the Pride event on New Year's Eve where Shinya Aoki subbed Hansen with one).Quote:

It's annoying hearing lots of people complaining that due to all of the upsets Pride is in trouble with their image and future matchmaking. As long as they keep producing memorable events like this last one, I couldn't give a shit. This sport needs surprise outcomes to keep it interesting.
Due to all of the damage done, a number of fighters are on suspension to have proper time to recover:
"Vanderlei Silva suspended until 4/11. This means he won’t work the 4/8 Saitama Super Arena event.
Dan Henderson suspended minimum until 4/11 or when his fractured right hand heals. So a re-match with him and Silva is remotely possible for 4/28 in Las Vegas, but doubtful.
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira is medically suspended until 4/11, meaning any prospect of a re-match in Japan on 4/8 in Saitama against Sokoudjou is out the window.
All the discussion about Takanori Gomi vs. Nick Diaz happening on 4/8 in Saitama for the Lightweight title is gone now that Gomi has been suspended until 4/11. Additionally, Diaz has a fractured right orbital bone (eye) and likely won’t be able to fight until at least May. Elite XC has a show in Atlantic City, NJ on 5/5 and PRIDE has a Lightweight tournament show on 5/20 in Japan. The only possibility of Gomi vs. Diaz in the near future is on 5/20 in a non-title match."
