Pride news

[JDenz]

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!

Is it on cable pay per view?

 

[JDenz]

It is going to be on Direct Tv, and it is going to have a delay of about a week in the telecast. If you are interested you can checkout PrideFC.com and they have all the times and prices.

Can you post a good link for this? I still don't get what it is.

 

[JDenz]

It is a fight time the do MT and MMA. They fight out of Brazil and all of there fighters can swat. Probley the most reconized guy from there stable is Wanderlia Silva and Murlio "ninja" Rua.

 

[arnisador]

So it's just a group and not really a style then?

 

[JDenz]

Ya it is a team of fighters
