I was disappointed with V. Silva's performance. Was he feeling the pressure? Was he giving Arona too much respect? I really thought we were going to see Silva swinging for the fences but I guess I thunk wrong. In all honesty I was very displeased.
Other than the card was great. Overeem needs to pace himself or something. He is good just needs to relax some. Fedor/Cro Cop lived up to the hype. Fedor has proven he would dominate any HW in the world. Any of these clowns that think Arlovski would stand a chance need to get out of their mother's basement. Fedor is the man even with a bad hand.
Shogun is amazing and he is proof that skill will get you so far but cardio is difference in elite performers.
If PRIDE keeps cranking them out I'm going to keep watching them.
IN MY OPINION Silva didn't have much to gain by going all out. He's already got the belt. Sure he can win this but what would he accomplish if he ended up fighting Shogun in the end. THAT would have been a lackluster fight...it was Shogun's turn to shine and i think Silva decided not to be selfish...
Nelson that makes sense but I really hope PRIDE puts on a rematch between Arona/Silva. Because if your theory is correct I want to at least Silva go down swinging!!

absolutely...again, i THINK these events will lead to an Arona-Silva for the title match and Shogun sitting back to see who wins...Shogun will probably take on one or two of the other players who were ousted from the tourney in the meantime....
