    Takanori Gomi when he trains and takes his opponents seriously he is great to watch, i just hope that he doesnt have a lacluster performance

    Trigg v Takimoto should be fun to watch and Schultz being in the GP is pretty cool

    WVR imo isnt as good as their “cousin” DREAM but they do have very entertaining fights and fighters….

    I would really enjoy it if just one single time just one show, have the “PRIDE announcer lady” introduce UFC fighters o to hear Wanderlei Silva’s name drawn out and crazy like that is awesome.. just one time!!! one card!!!! please!!

    Gomi needs to come to the states and fight.
