Guest Lei Tong Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 I'd be highly suprised if Arona subbed Jackson at all, much less with anything other than a kneebar (the only sub he's finished in the past 4 years in competition, it seems).
Guest Jimmy Saint Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 I respect Arona for his wins but fuck he could sure ruin this tournement if he wins it. It will be three whole fights where he takes the other person down then lies on them 'controlling them' with a punch every few minutes and maybe just maybe one submssion attempt in each fight. Then getting the judges decision. Compere this to Silva, Jackson, Sakuraba, Liddell etc who finish almost everyone of their fights in style. Winning and putting on a show. Hell even Yoshida has finished his two fights however questonable those two may have been. I don't hate the guy and he seems like a good sort in interviews but Arona would be a terrible draw for pride if he was to win this or the belt.
Guest benoitrulz4life Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 Hey, more good news guys. Vovchanchyn, Cro Cop, Fedor, and Gary Goodridge have all been confirmed for the show! Tentative card: TOURNEY MATCHES Silva/Sakuraba Jackson/Arona Liddell/Overeem Yoshida/Tamura ALTERNATE MATCH Ryan Gracie(?) vs. ? (possibly Daiju Takase) SUPERFIGHTS (all unofficial) Vovchanchyn/Cro Cop Fedor/Goodridge Nogueira vs. ? Herring vs. ? Wow, looks like a killer card so far. Vov/Mirko and Fedor/Gary are not confirmed, but if you look at the poster on the PRIDE site their names are listed as "Igor Vovchanchyn, Mirko Cro Cop, Fedor Emelianenko, and Gary Goodridge!" so make your own guesses.
