how can you boo when the next day you get to see one of the most anticipated MMA events of all time?

This is just a showcase, as we already know who is going to win each bout. They're all a given, and this is PRIDE's attempt to show some of their best talent.

Not ture. The rules are a bit different in the USA and some fighters might not be as dominant. To say ever fight is already in the bag is ridiculous. I have to say after reading your posts you dont seem to put much effort into them.

The rules aren't different enough, as to where it'll really matter. That's a nice little bash you added to the end there.

Infact, you can look at the current odds, and see the matches are one way.

No, this is just the general idea of what the general public has chosen, which consist of many well educated MMA fans. You can go to just about every major MMA betting site, and see the bouts are already a given. For example, you can look at the Belfort/Henderson bout, and see that it's really almost even. But, look at Emelianenko/Coleman or Rua/Randleman. The best one by far is the Nakamura/Galbraith bout.

It's not my fault you have no idea how fcuked up this card actually is, and you're being suckered into paying for it.

Typical fan stating their opinion, wtf are you talking about... if I walked right up to you and said "you suck and you will lose your fight" how is that total disrespect. Not only disrespect but pure stupidity. What I should expect is for fans to treat authletes like authletes not tools. Randleman might be a bit of a loon but he doesn't deserve that bullsh*t that he got at the weigh ins from the fans.

HAHAHAHA, your stupidity makes me laugh. Randleman beat Crocop, so he could easily beat Shogun if he catches him. Galbraith is so underrated because he has had no time to prepare, but he is no push over.

This card is 10X better than UFC 64 was.

From what you, yourself, posted, you stated they said "You're going down Randleman," and "No way," not, "You suck," or anything of the sort. You people are throwing this completely out of proportion.

The question they asked, "Do you think Coleman can beat Fedor?" They answered, "No way."

Now, to state something like, "You suck," is completely different than just saying someone is just going to lose to someone. From what you posted, no one said they sucked, they just said they were going to get beat.

When did I say UFC 64 was a good card?

Odds don't mean sh*t anything before a fight means nothing. It's when two men step in the ring and you have a victor odds are just a standard which you can bet on. Jens Pulver was fed some nobody who was supposed to absolutely destroy with Lauzon having a 1:7 chance of winning... look what happened.

How often does that happen? I can assure you, it's pretty fcukin' rare.
