It appears that the collision course betweem Brazilian Top Team and Chute Boxe continues to develop in the Land of the Rising Sun. There are VERY strong rumours pointing to the next chapter in the evolving rivalry.

Negotiations are underway for a match between Paulo Filho, representing Brazilian Top Team, and Anderson Silva representing Chute Boxe. Things are said to be at a very advanced level, negotiation-wise. It appears that this match was made for a previous PRIDE, but an injury kept the match from happening.

After wins over the 'Brazilian Killa' Alex Steibling and Japanese star Alexander Otsuka, Anderson Silva appears ready for another edition of Pride, and Paulo Filho is looking to be on the next show as well.

This match seems unavoidable!
