It is stating the obvious, but I just have to say that these are great times for our sport.
The recent leaps by the UFC have made it near if not equal to Pride in top talent in most divisions and with the explosion in America, the pool will only get deeper.
We will have some 30+ shows from the UFC/WEC alone next year!
Pride will be forced to step up there game in America as well. Competition will raise fighter purses exponentially, and we will have legitimate professional athletes with mainstream acknowledgment.
MY how things have changed since I first watched UFC III on PPV.
WOW....JUST...WOW!
I congratulate everyone who helped keep the sport alive, all the fighters, Zuffa, Pride,and the mma writers/websites that made it what it is today and will become.
FRAT!!!!
