Pride Fighting! Question for MMA Fans!
 

Watched the Pride FC last night! A couple of good fights! Here is my question why Fedor & Coleman! Coleman is not even in the same league as Fedor! A better match up (If they wanted it to be against an American) would have been Josh Barnett?:pimp

Barnett just fought in the Open Weight GP... You could see he was burnt out in that Nastula fight... Fedors entrance with the snow was awesome...

wtf... dbl post...

Coleman is a long time Pride fighter and a huge built american guy. I can only imagine that Pride figured it would draw the american crowd, which I think it did. But yes I agree, Coleman is past his prime.

You should try and watch the dvd called "The Smashing Machine", It has some good clips about Coleman but mostly Mark Kerr who is a great fighter!

You are correct, Coleman is Pride's Ken Shamrock. Past his prime.

There aren't many fighters who want a piece of Fedor.

I imagine Fedor will fight Fujita next Pride FC USA. Fujita is the only one who has ever come close to knocking out Fedor, but lost.

I'd like to see a Fujita / Fedor fight as well, personally I'd like to see Fedor or Fujita or Cro Cop, or Barnet, or Nogiera against Sylvia first. Just to wake up the UFC fans. Did I miss anybody?

They wanted to have American fans relate to it... that's why they kept running all that crap abotu his family life. Barnett would have been a good choice too and has earned it, but he needed to recover from those wars just a couple months back.

I think the next match is Cro Cop because he won absolute and that was supposed to be part of the payoff for doing so.

anyone got a link to view the fight?

Yea Josh came close to losing his match, but pulled a last ditch effort on a submission.

I watched that a while back.. those pain killers made me sad

Nice to see PrideFC finally fighting in the USA

I heard a lot of bad stuff about how they were run

Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see :thumbsup

Brutal sport.
