The talent level disparity is freaking sad...

Current UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva getting destroyed in Pride:

And my favorite...

Current UFC Light Heavyweight champion Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell... This is like a scene at prison where Chuck is screaming, "But I don't WANNA be your bitch!" to Rampage... and, well... watch it...

that the ufc's talent sucks in comparison to prides but they still claim that their champions are the best in the world

fortunately the UFC is trying to sign better talent, they're in talks now with mirko crocop and are trying to sign matt lindland and rampage (although i think that rampage has lost his killer instinct since he got KTFOed by wanderlei and turned into a christian)

2007 is gonna be a crazy year for MMA i think

UFC bought WFA, so this probably means we'll see Lindland vs. Silva (i think lindland will win) and rampage vs chuck (hoping page will win but i dunno, he's not the same) some other big names WFA had were Basito and heath herring, but bas is too old, and sylvia would probably beat herring in a 5 round jab fest

Crocop is that dude with the vicious high kick? That guy would pwn anyone in UFC.
