UFC to buy Pride: Knockouts Ensue

Today, a deal was brokered by Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta, owners of UFC, to purchase the Japanese-based Pride Fighting Championships for an estimated $70 million. ESPN says:

"This is really going to change the face of MMA," Lorenzo Fertitta said. "Literally creating a sport that could be as big around the world as soccer."
I think this is the only time you can compare MMA with that. In fact, the reason I began watching it is because of all the pent up anger I had for the pussies that play soccer.

This means that Fedor Emelianenko will be fair game. Emelianenko sports a 26-1 record (6 TKOs and 12 submissions). The one loss? Stopped by the ref because of a cut. When reached for comment, UFC heavyweights shat their pants.

I once trained to become a fighter. Then I realized that I would be fighting another opponent my age and size, not my 10 year old sister who I'd been sparring against.

Fedor Angry!
