ROYCE/YOSHIDA 2! (spoilers)

[Trent Tiemeyer]

Man, I wish this was on PPV.

Royce apparently dominated most of the fight, only to have it declared a time-limit draw.

Herring defeated Giant Silva via choke, Gary Goodridge KO'd DON FRYE with a HIGH KICK!, Quinton Jackson defeated Minowa after a DQ due to a low blow, Sakurai defeats Takase, "Ninja" Rua defeated Akira Shoji via KO, Daniel Gracie defeated Sakata by armbar, Kondo defeats Sperry due to ref stoppage (cut), Tamura armbarred Sefo, And Rogerio "Minotoro" Nogueira defeated Sakuraba by decision.

I can't WAIT to see these fights.

unfortunate, though. i really wish gracie had gotten the win, although i do respect yoshida infinitely more after the silva fight.

[YODA]

Royce looks in good shape! Any idea what he weighed in at?

I'm not sure, but I am suprised he went sans gi. It seemed to work out okay, however.:D

[YODA]

FIX FIX FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Trent Tiemeyer]

Royce apparently started off the fight with a groin kick. Think this one was personal?

[YODA]

LOL! Maybe :D

Any doubt on a winner here?

[YODA]

Oh, and Sudo tapped Butterball with a heelhook, and Sapp KO'd Akebono in K1.

ROFLMAO!

Go Sudo!!!! :D

congratulations to sudo, but i'd have rather seen a double ko in the sapp/akebono fight, with sapp announcing his retirement and moving into yet another sport *cough*in which he doesn't belong*cough*, possiby competitive knitting :D

i was ok with the woman costume when he fought duane ludwig, but that's a bit much...

Where can I follow this stuff ? We dont get any of it on TV !! Is it like UFC or whatever ? :D

[Trent Tiemeyer]

Pride fighting championships and K1 are both Japan-based promotions, and at the forefront of the mixed martial arts movement alongside the UFC.

Pride and K1 are both available on U.S. PPV, these shows were the exception. This edition of Pride will be available on DVD shortly, and results can be found all over the web.

I will be attempting to post results right here on this forum, to make MAP your "one stop shopping experience".:D

[totality]

for which we are all grateful. only event i've ever been able to watch was the pride middleweight tournament, and it was great, but i don't think i want to spend $30 to see something unless it's good. of course, i'd guess the dvds are cheaper than ppv?

[Trent Tiemeyer]

Depends. Ebay, baby.:D
