Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2006 If the guy isn't ready for Arlovski now, he won't ever be. They have to make that fight now. That seems to be the most logical, either that or put him with Buentello, then Arlovski. He should get a title shot within the first half of 2007. If only he were like 20 lbs heavier, and not in the Frank Mir way. Well he's only had 7 pro fights... Against less then stellar opponets. He's still a prospect IMO.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2006 With the Heavyweight division where it is, he's much more than a prospect. Too good for the lesser guys (finished Scherner, Silva and Eilers beyond convincingly). The only guys left for him are the top level guys, at least UFC Top Level.

I think Buentello is a reasonable opponet. He's better then the guys you mentioned. This will be test to prove if Vera is elite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Buzz 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2006 I'm always on the fence with starting to watch MMA. Everytime I catch a pay-per-view its a snoozefest. Is pride really worth the money they ask for the ppvs? I've never seen any pride other than the tail end of a Recap show on ESPN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2006 The BUSHIDO shows are often pretty good, but I've been apathetic about regular PRIDE cards for a while now. Also, the next UFC should be much better than this one, entertainment-wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DRH 502 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 Off topic a bit but speaking of Bushidos I enjoyed the fuck out of Bushido 10, which I just watched the first time yesterday... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
