HW in Pride is one of the best divisions in the world.How can you call Nog,Crocop,Barnett,the Emielenako brothers,Hunt, among many others boring?The UFC HW division may not be the best in the world ,but they do have some exciting fighters.Gilbert Aldana is exciting.Cheik Kongo looks exciting,AA is exciting,Mir is a good fighter to watch,Sylvia is a good fighter to watch,Monson and Vera are good fighters to watch.Maybe you just don't like the big guys.I don't think they're boring.

You kind of strayed off topic a lot here ,but I agree with a lot of the things you said.The eye poke in Randy/Chuck 2 greatly effected the outcome of that fight.It looked to me like the eye poke was very intentional and plus it screwed up Randy's game plan ,b/c it angered him and in Randy/Chuck 3 Randy was winning that fight untill he slipped.I'd love to see a rematch.Randy Couture is my hero and I'd love to see in the octagon one last time.
