I wonder why Royler's not in on this?

 

[JDenz]

Not sure either he has something else going on is hurt or Pride didn't want him. It seems like they picked the "bad boys" of the gracie faimly and the guys that teach them.

 

[ace]

To see a Great Fight From Renzo & Carlos
These 2 Both Have Good Ground Skills & well versed in the
Stand up Game I Think Carlos is Better at Takedowns.

This Fight is to close 2 call But if i gonna Pick Carlos

 

[JDenz]

I saw Newton to just because he has better striking and Renzo is not going to be able to hurt him on the feet.

 

[pknox]

I don't know...Renzo can definitely strike if he has to. Either way, it should be a pretty good match.

 

[JDenz]

Renzo can strike fro a gracie I guess but he is far from a MMA striker, He got a good upkick on Oleg for his KO and that has been his only serious striking. He has been over matched in striking by every serious fight he has ever been in. He had a horrable time agianst that Japenes fighter who wouldn't go on the ground with him. Newton has swapped punches with Dangerous strikers and had taken big shots I doubt very much that Renzo can hurt him on the feet or even take him down without Newton overextending. All that said it should still be a good fight espically if it hits the ground.

 

[pknox]

I agree. For Renzo's sake, hopefully he controls the fight to the point of where he doesn't have to strike. Either way, I think it will be great. I'm guessing it's going to be Pay Per View?

 

[JDenz]

Yes defintitly going to be PPV. Same PPV carrier as Pride.

 

[spartanmachine]

This should be exciting, Ryan and Ralph are two very aggressive fighters, should be fun.

 

[JDenz]

Ya it will be good.

[JDenz]

Ya I was going to post results but I figured I would hold off but the event isn't going to be shown for months in the states. Ryan Gracie'ss oppenant injured himself in the match and fell without being hit and took a soccer kick in the head for his troubles.

 

[pknox]

Ouch!

 

[spartanmachine]

Can anyone who's seen it elaborate on Renzo's match against Newton?
