How about trying to go for a submission instead of trying to cut your opponent or grind out a decision Kos. One day the UFC will come around.

And its no coincidence that two of the greatest minds in MMA bas rutten and Big john mccarthy feel the same exact way; July 12, 2008 11:34 PM

He needs to show everybody that hes not just a pride standout; July 13, 2008 12:37 AM

Soccer kicks is just knockouts. Those elbows pretty much just cuts holes in dudes that make them bleed. That said, elbows can be a good tool when you're ground and pounding.

One thing about Pride I noticed, there's a lot less dryhumping than in the UFC. Some cards, I feel guilty for watching it, like I just wasted an afternoon on some porn site.; July 13, 2008 9:14 PM

Then Kinda Arona ( beside his decision win over Wanderlei in 2005 hasnt done much lately) and kinda Alistair Overeem ( he has beating anyone of note for awhile either) his last few fights. a lot of his wins are over Japanese fighters with high lost records.

I think he is fun to watch and I hope he comes back and kills. but he needs start fighting more top 10 fighters before I agree his is a top 3 in the world fighter.; July 14, 2008 5:31 PM
