Is Anyone Watching Pride 34?

[BlindFury]

Anyone else hear a couple more people were going to be tossed on the card?

Nope.

I heard that Sak said that he was working on some surprizes, one or two extra fights, but that's just speculation



.

With eight announced matches for PRIDE.34, Sakakibara also stated that he was still working on one to two more "surprise" fights, in appreciation for the ten years of support and dedication PRIDE fans have shown.

At this rate they're going to need a couple of extra matches. It's only an hour into the event and we're already through 4 fights. This is a crazy pace. Nothing is going to a decision.

This is the way I like it, Do you think they will throw an extra fight in? I'm sure they will if they have any lined up, but do you think they have any lined up? If so Who?

If they keep going like this I think they will. I love this pace. More bang for my 3 am buck. I'm not sure who they could throw in, unless it's Wandy. Who else could it be?

For those of you hanging around for the play-by-play, some of these fights are up in the vid section now:

In a very emotional press conference in Japan for Dream Stage Entertainment's final Pride event – the promotion was recently purchased by Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, the owners of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and World Extreme Cagefighting – DSE president Nobuyuki Sakikabara announced a proposed fight for Wanderlei Silva will not take place.

On just a few hours notice, Pride was able to secure Akira Shoji to take on Gilbert Yvel. A visibly moved Shoji was proud to be able to participate on DSE's final Pride event. Yvel originally was scheduled to face Bazigit Atajev, but he had to withdraw due to an "internal disease."

Sakikabara didn't stop there though. In his final moments as head of Pride, he announced that his final fight card may not yet be finished, "I am still working on surprises for [the] show. We have the official announcement of eight matches, but I am still working on giving you one more or maybe two more fights because that is the last thing that I can give you as the promoter of this Pride. So please look forward to a big surprise."

There has been no word on what or rather who those surprises may be

That's weird, because Shoji didn't even fight Yvel, it was Atajev. Hmm.


War Frye. I hope his fighting skills are as sharp as his advice columns.

Frye Thompson was a great fucking staredown. That's going to make an awesome GIF for someone's av.
