The Japanese Interviewer asked:

Q:What is the relation between the UFC and PRIDE? We heard Dana White got angry with the PRIDE organization.
"Maybe Dana got angry with us because he can not control us (Pride), ha-ha.
I can send W.Silva to UFC, as PRIDE's hitman....he can do a 3 match contract, no problem.
Want him to fight anytime? OK. Liddel? Tito? Ken Shamrock?, All ok.
We can send Mirko Cro-cop to Nov UFC, It is my pleasure If our opponent levels are like this, no problem at all."

"Maybe the UFC has noticed us now. Their popularity is growing, But stars like Silva come, and Chuck is beat. KOed!! This is nothing but a promotion for PRIDE event. So I hope this fight takes place."

Q: You insisted UFC escape from PRIDE?

"Yes,They do not want to acknowledge that they are the underdog.
I said W. Silva: " Go fight in the Octagon."
And Tim Silvia, Andoei........Anyone Ok, -If UFC has a opponent, Mirko Cro-Cop will come to Octagon too.
To say the truth, I hope the UFC sends fighters to PRIDE USA (10.21) We would welcome Tim Silvia as an opponent of E.Fedor, but we feel that Tim would run away, ha-ha-ha!!!
....But it is reasonable, if These two men (Tim Silvia & Fedor) fight 100 times, Fedor will get 100 wins, Haha!!"


Q;Some fan guess that this happened:
UFC sent Chuck Liddel to PRIDE 2003 GP, but PRIDE did not help UFC, nobody came to UFC. Today Silva is in trouble with his fights.

"No, no in 2003, the UFC had no popularity, and no money. They asked us to give Chuck a fighting field, so we allowed it all, and we recommended many fighters, but the UFC rejected them"

Q" Does It mean that the UFC is afraid of PRIDE??
"Yes, I can bet PRIDE brand and honor. Maybe UFC says "We are No.1 MMA promotion!" But it is only popularity, it is not quality nor fighter's skill.
In October, tje USA fans watch PRIDE USA. and the fans will notice that the money they pay for UFC PPVs is nothing but a waste of money.

In our opinion -our ring is better than the UFC Octagon for the Audience.
So fans: accecpt that the UFC is low level Entertainment!! "

He doens't mean owns as in they bought it. He means it by the fact that they're better than the UFC.
