Check out the 'LW' grand prix poster... looks awesome!

Azeredo,Hansen,Kawajiri,Aoki,Hughes,Sakurai,Sanchez,Melendez,Ishida,Aurelio,Firmino. (i think)

I'm not sure what weight this is. Hope they add some more guys... namely Gsp,Kos,Sera and BJ.
This seems too good to be true as there seems to be a mixture of weights

 

[CaptainCharisma]

its most likely gonna be either a 170 tourney or most likely an international catchweight (160-165??)

and that PRIDE ppv looks beyond awesome, im definatley gonna have to see that

So they aired the 'Bad Blood' special concerning the boxing match Tito backed out of with Dana tonight on Spike. It was brilliant on White's part; he was able to showcase the HUGE amount of crap he went through to get it set up, and it beautifully showed how much of a pansy moron Ortiz is. Hearing about it was bad enough, but to see how deluded and pathetic Tito's been concerning the entire thing was insane. The best part was, it was the straight truth, as if Dana would deliver anything else. There were opinions from both of them, but it was backed up with case footage-Dana's training, Tito's training, Dana's efforts to make the contest happen, and Tito running his mouth off and later backing out. He simply didn't show up for the weigh-ins; what kind of third-grade monkey crap is that?

What small shred of respect I may have still had for the self proclaimed 'Bad Boy', who divorced his awesome wife in order to date beef jerky, just died. Ortiz is, has been, and will forever be, a small-minded child in my eyes.


Edit-Oh, and that Pride decade PPV = awesome

yeah that show last night was a waste of an hour and a half but i couldn't stop watching it just hoping that Tito would be a man and fight him damn what a bitch

no shit? lol thats crazy he still got his ass whooped

 

[onebigeric]

Probably due to his booger sugar, no doubt His shots were inches from Joe's face, which was laughable. Stevenson tagged him with that solid strike, and Melvin just flailed a few....guess his depth perception was shot

I actually loved the show, as it really pounded home the fact to those unaware that Tito is a spoiled, self-centered joke. I loved Dana's line concerning he and Chuck; "He and I are like this(fingers twined) after all these years, and he had a lot more to complain about than Tito ever did. That should tell you something..." Makes Tito's crappy little act on TUF3 even more transparent.

Another bad thing was that he made his entire camp look like poser idiots as well. They're all putting these little 'Dana better stay in the corner' plugs in, and their little boss doesn't even show up for the weigh-ins

 

[CaptainCharisma]

when Sugar beats Tito it'll be so funny, theres nothing left for him then, this is what Tito gets for taking advice from Jenna Jameson...i mean come on dude, just look at her face, does stupid decisions on plastic surgery alone should tell you shes not exactly the right person to come to for advice

 

[onebigeric]

^^Fact.

I honestly could see Rashad shutting Tito down. If he presses his standup, I could see him taking him out. It's just like Liddell said, "Just rain the strikes standing. Tito doesn't like that, and he'll cover right up." If Ortiz does take the fall, it'll be a semi-sad exclamation point really indicating how far he's fallen lately.

 

[CaptainCharisma]

well he was never that good anyway, i mean Tito only beat 2nd rate guys or guys that hadn't hit their prime yet (Wandy) or guys that had obviously lost it (Vitor, i think Vitor won their fight easily by the way)

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Matt Lindland is fighting Fedor soon, im reading the play by play, since im not gonna order a Russian ppv...i swear if Matt Lindland wins...like i will shit my pants until i die

 

[CaptainCharisma]

theres like no play by play anywhere, everyones waiting for the results (its the last fight) its probably going on right now...fuck

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Fedor beats Lindland by armbar at 2:58 of the first round

 

[CaptainCharisma]

i guess Fedor is immune to the underdog curse so far this year...that guy really is the king of kings

 

[JS316]

Thanx for the result update CC!
Lol at the shit your pants till you die..lool..guess your safe

I agree on the Tito v Vitor decision too... I had Vitor on that one aswell... he defenately would have won if they did pride scoring

PRIDEs Lightweight Grand Prix has been postponed, as im sure everyone knows, but here is what seems to be the current schedule for the next couple of UFC and PRIDE events:

After the sudden announcement that the Opening Round of the PRIDE Lightweight GP (scheduled for 5.20) would be postponed, Nobuhiko Takada divulged plans from here on. Takada revealed that the first event under PRIDE FC Worldwide would take place in June - PRIDE.35 in California.

The Lightweight GP Opening Round will take place in Nagoya on 7.16.07, and the Second Round and Final Round will take place in September and November, respectively.

http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/3121558/


So the short-term PRIDE/UFC schedule looks something like this:

04.05.07 - UFN (Stephenson, Florian, Guillard)
04.07.07 - UFC69 (Koscheck, Sanchez, Serra, St. Pierre, Cummo, Huerta, Davis)
04.08.07 - PRIDE.34 (Aoki)
04.21.07 - UFC70 (none)
05.20.07 - PRIDE Lightweight GP Opening Round (postponed)
05.26.07 - UFC71 (Thomas, Parisyan)
06.10.07 - PRIDE.35*
06.16.07 - UFC72
06.23.07 - TUF5 Finale (Penn, Pulver)
07.07.07 - UFC73
07.16.07 - PRIDE Lightweight GP Opening Round
08.25.07 - UFC74
...
09.30.07 - PRIDE Lightweight GP Second Round
...
11.18.07 - PRIDE Lightweight GP Final Round*
...
12.31.07 - PRIDE Otoko Matsuri
*tentative​

Will PRIDE.36 take place in August? Will the winner of BJ/Jens be thrown into the 2nd Rd of the GP? I think the PRIDE & UFC matchmakers have their hands full.

Looks like the LWGP starts up again in June in Cali
