wtf are you rambling about? lol. this is a fight mma fans from both sides of the ufc/pride divide have been itching for for ages. and it is going to be a good show.
i don't see how you figure this fight holds no meaning. the way i see it is that if chuck loses this fight, it's pretty much the final nail in his coffin. he might have another fight or two lef tin him after that, maybe. but if he loses this fight, i'm sure retirement will start crossing his mind as he realizes the glory days are over, and thats he's lost in a sea of talented fights in a more competitive division now. wanderlei wins the fight, he comes into the ufc with a bang, takes down a longtime fan favorite and makes his ufc debut establishing himself a name to a whole new mma fanbase...
chuck wins the fight, and its another notch for the ufc fanboys to put up. crocop goes down, rua goes down, silva goes down. ufc fanboys who jumped on with TUF cream their pants again and laugh int he face of the pride fans who've been telling them pride is superior for years. chuck also proves by taking down a big name in the game that maybe he's not a total washup. might give him some momentum in getting his career back on track and taking another run at the belt.
either way UFC makes a shitheap of money...
i think this fight is way more interesting than hughes vs gsp
