I liked UFC 53, but it was pretty sad when Eilers blew out his knee. The Cro dude was pretty impressive, and Rich Franklin surprised me by beating the crap out of Tanner.

But honsetly, I caught the last PRIDE Bushido PPV, and that was way better. First time I ever saw Gomi, and I came away impressed. I thought he was going down (fuck, he was giving away like 25 pounds) before he unleased that wicked knockout.

And it looks like Baroni was gassed (as usual) but found a second wind. At any rate, his fight was perhaps the best of the night, even though I cant stand that guy.

As a fan of both UFC and PRIDE (and K1 and anything else I can watch), I would say CorCop isn't the monster he once looked like. I would say Fedor will hammer him, and I'd take Orlovski over Mirko right now, too. I know Mirko and Silva fought to a draw, but that wasn't under the regular PRIDE rules.

Also, I would have to say I think Igor can take Silva, and I am really hoping that they make it thru their brackets and this fight happens. I think it will be a slugfest, and Igor will put him to sleep.

I like both announce teams (UFC and PRIDE). Yeah Ruttan talks a little shit, but he was a great fighter, and he brings a lot of good insight. Just from the Bushido PPV alone, he pretty much called at least three of the knockouts, as to how he thought the one fighter was setting up his opponent and/or a flaw in the fighter defense that left him open for something.

I do think PRIDE will throw guys to the wolves, putting people in fights that dont belong in the ring (at least at this time) just for filler. UFC has much more competitive matchmaking, and more weight classes, again - less mismatches.
