Pride 2nd coming after thoughts

Not going to cover fight comments as everyone is posting them already. here are some observations on other thing I noticed on the Pride PPV.

While I give Takada credit for speaking english, there were a lot of things he said that I couldn't understand.

Josh Barnett is great behind the mic. Lot's of knowledge and keeps it going throughout the event.

Fighter interviews were terrible. So when does the person doing the fighter interviews tell them what to say/do. To Dan - "Take your mouthpiece out" and to Diaz - "Thank Pride"

With that said, funny when the audio picked up Dan saying "I don't have my teeth in"

Does UFC purchase a bunch of tickets to the Pride event and toss them away. A lot of empty seats tonigh.

Joe Silva was loving Diaz kicking butt!

Awful lighting. Looked like lights were hitting the camera causing a white out picture.

Pride needs to fire the ppv broadcast sound guy.

How can a title holder hold a belt for so many years with so many fights and tonight was his 5th or 6th title defense?

Pride with some pokes at UFC. During little Nog intro they said that his twin brother has beat some top fighters. Then they only mention 1 fighter, "Cro Cop from the UFC." add in a few Chuck getting beat by Rampage and Rampage getting destroyed by Wandy.

Do all the great looking chicks go to the UFC while all the really ugly ones attend Pride events.

I thought who would take their young son to an event like this and then noticed it was Chuck Norris who took his son. Hmm, must be okay since his son has grown up with the martial arts surroundings.

Was that a chuck norris round house from ringside that put Wandy out? Okay, had to say that one..

Loved Diaz participating in another war and getting the win.

Hendo winning the belt by ko was excellent. BTW, great spinning back fist.

Listed as a 4 hour ppv event and would have gone well into the 4th hour if Little Nog and Wuiff would have went longer. Still could have shown a non televised fight.

last but not least, loved that there were no adds being shown all the time.

XYIENCE FOR THE WIN

I was there live - all fights were telecast AFAIK - if you saw Hansen/Ireland, you saw everything that was done, so not much they could add in as "filler" since there weren't any "dark" bouts.

"Dan has no front teeth. Anyone who's met Dan knows that. So he usually has a plate in, just like Tank. That's why Dan was reluctant to take out his mouthpiece and expose his missing teeth."

I thought everyone knew that! I guess everyone but the guy doing the interview!

"I was there live - all fights were telecast AFAIK - if you saw Hansen/Ireland, you saw everything that was done, so not much they could add in as "filler" since there weren't any "dark" bouts."

Thanks for the info!

"Still could have shown a non televised fight."

"To Dan - 'Take your mouthpiece out'"

Seems as if you are grasping at straws for things to bitch about. They showed all the fights dumb fuck.

everyone I was watching the fights with was saying Dan needed to take out his mouth piece. Nothing wrong with the interviewer reminding him. Better than having him continue talking when you cant understand him.

I gues if these are the types of things people can find to bitch about it is just more testimony to what a kick ass show it was.

"Seems as if you are grasping at straws for things to bitch about. They showed all the fights dumb fuck."

I thought it was a really good show. Just thought I would point out a few tid bits that pride nuthuggers like to do after an UFC event.

Don't get so defensive, panties in a wad is not good for you. Oh, btw which pride exec are you pumping?
