Nice preview column Boone. Alot of detail and depth. I agree with most of your picks too. It does suck that the Barnett/Nastula fight hasn't been finalized yet, but hopefully that's done by tomorrow morning, I believe the deadline is 10 a.m. Well I'm officially pumped for this now. Can't wait to head out to Vegas tomorrow!
It's a tough sell lol. People only know UFC. Every UFC my place gets packed with freeloaders coming over to drink free beer and watch a free 40$ event. PRIDE, I almost have to offer free cookies and shit on top of all that. I'm dieing to see PRIDE live, cause usually I've already read spoilers by the time I watch the PRIDE PPVs in the past. This time there's no chance of that.

Hopefully you can make the February event. That one should be off the chain, because this time they will have time to rest guys a little longer after the NYE show.
Good cloumn but I dont think this PRIDE event is going to stand up to the usual ones....with the different rules I dont think the fights will have the same intensity and with the 10 minute first round they usually have it cause some amazing knockouts either at the end of the first or shortly into the second. No stomps, no knees while on the ground....Im going to check it out anyway but we will have to wait and see how everything falls.
