How many will be ordering Pride?

I certainly will. Anyone else? I actually skipped UFC last weekend so I could fit this PrideFC in our monthly budget.

I personally would love to see the UFC have solid competition (to drive innovation, keep prices low, etc)

I'm in. The son is talking about it a lot and I'm looking forward to watching it with him and his buddies.

Yeah, I am stoked. Anyone hear if Josh's blood tests made it on time??

Wooo! I should have bet, for those of you who read my email last Friday,
you know what I mean! :)

just watched the show. GREAT show.

Since this is a catch forum, I wanted to talk about the Barnett fight. Awesome. Barnett, coming off 2-fights sept 10 or something, takes on an olympic-caliber judo expert, and still beats him. That hook was right out of Frank A. Gotch's school!

I know Cro Cop is next in line for the title, but I think Barnett can take Fedor on the ground. There's really no one else in the world, besides those two. I'd say a pre-accident Frank Mir or maybe Jeff Monson could be interesting, but that's it.

Yeah, Josh looked a bit burned out and round one definitely wasn't his.
Despite that he pulled that tight toe-hold out quick, that was just
awesome. Very quick dramatic turn of events.
