Leko in Pride Grand Prix

Read on that controversial Fightsport that Steven Leko is in Pride Grand Prix. This is a really strong striker added to the mix.

Let's see now we have;

Mark Coleman

Fedor

Cro Cop

Mino

Sentoru (sumo)

Herring

Vovchanchin

Silva

Henderson

Karitonov

Frye

Kondo

Sakuraba

Don't think all these are confirmed but close to it.

He won't be part of the tourney. He'll most likely be on the show, in a featured match.

For Pride's sake, it would be a really big coup for them to get a top K1 guy who has KO'd Peter Aerts a couple times. This would be big for them in terms of ratings. I also think it adds a little spice to the tournament to have another world class kickboxer in there besides Cro Cop.

JACKSON???????

Rampage would definitely be deserving to get in if he wanted to. He has the size to do it as well.

yeah rampage should be in it, being the runner up to the middleweight grand prix

so is this an openweight or heavyweight tournament?

seems open to me...sakuraba?

Listed as HW but basically open weight. I'm sure all the participants would try to bulk up as much as they can to compete against the bigger guys.
