1. Babalu vs. Liddell is tonight! Go Babalu!

2. Dan Henderson was defeated at Bushido. BIG UPSET

3. Nick Diaz vs. Josh Neer tonight! Go Diaz!

4. Mike Tyson has signed a deal with Pride. (Japanese fans love big american freakshows like Bob Sapp, Butterbean, and Tyson)

5. Pride has released much of its lineup for its upcoming event in Vegas:
- Josh Barnett vs. ??
- Fedor vs. Mark Coleman (good fight! Fedor's weakness is a good wrestler)
- Shogun Rua vs. Kevin Randleman! (AWESOME FIGHT! Hammerhouse vs. Chute Boxe rivalry continues and Shogun returns from his big injury)
- Phil Baroni vs. ???
- Possible bout involving Tyson!

6. Takanori Gomi dominated again at Bushido (win by RNC in round 1)

7. Kid Yamamoto, the 2nd best fighter in the world pound for pound, has decided to leave MMA for awhile to try and get a gold medal in wrestling at the next Olympics. This makes me very sad as Kid is probably the coolest fighter to watch in MMA, period.

For real!

They will most likely either:

1. Throw him against one of their fav. japanese fighters (like Genki Sudo) because Japanese fans love the "little skilled smart asian vs. big dumb american brute" matches. Tyson gets a puncher's chance but that's it.

2. Put him in a k1 rules fight against a legitimate k1 style MMA fighter, in which tyson will get rocked because boxing stance and k1 stance are totally different.



By the way:

Spoiler :

Liddell TKO'ed Babalu, and Diaz tapped out Neer with a Kimura

Are they going to muzzle Tyson ? I'd hate to see his reaction if he's taken down to the ground. You got to figure he has zero ground skills, leaving only biting as his only defense.
