PRIDE Final Conflict 2005 thread

[Army Eye]

This is one of the biggest MMA events ever. The show starts shortly and airs in the U.S. on PPV Sunday night.

-Fabricio Werdum vs. Roman Zentsov
-Igor Vovchanchyn vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura
-Ricardo Arona vs. Wanderlei Silva (tournament semi-final)
-Alistair Overeem vs. Shogun (tournament semi-final)
-Hidehiko Yoshida vs. Tank Abbott
-Fedor Emelianenko vs. Cro Cop (heavyweight title match)
-?? vs. ?? (tournament finals)

Not going out on any limbs at all, but I'm looking for Silva to win the Grand Prix and I don't give Cro Cop much of a chance vs. Fedor.

Yeah, this is one of the sickest cards I have ever seen. I can't believe Cro Cop and Fedor is finally happening. I hope Tank KOs Yoshida. I want Igor to win against Nakamura. I really have no idea about Wandy and Arona. Arona is a tough guy, but Wandy is great. They'll definitely be killing eachother, though, that's for sure.

Cro Cop and Fedor.. honestly I just hope the best fighter wins. Should be one hell of a match, I might order it.

I'm with you, it would be so great if Tank won [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Rumor has it he's entering the ring wearing a gi like the guy he's up against. I saw a pic of him in it, it was absolutely hilarious.

I haven't seen Tank fight in about 7 years. He always seemed not to work too hard on improving. If he didn't land a big shot he usually got pwnd. How is he performing now? I figured he would be out of the game. I haven't followed MMA too closely the last 7-8 years.

He fought Kimo not too long ago and was choked out. He fought Cabbage Correra and got TKOd I think. They might've stopped it because of a cut, not sure. He rematched Cabbage, landed a huge punch, and knocked him the [censored] out.

Yeah, he gets gassed, doesn't do submissions, etc. But when he lands, he lands. He's an entertaining fighter, nonetheless.

Cro Cop Vs. Fedor and Arona Vs. Wandy are the real fights of this event. Whooo, I'm psyched.

Does anyone know if you can get this on Comcast on-demand/ppv? I've only ever gotten movies before, and I can't seem to find the right category/selection.

Is there a white American I can root for?

Yoshida and Nakamura will both win. Yoshida wins in less than 3 minutes.

Yes, look for it Sunday night, it will be there. No way for us in the states to get it live though.
