LOL! No question about the "straight face" thing! If Barnett was wearing something a little less revealing, Fedor would have used the "Brown Note" facial expression, and Barnett would have shit himself down to middle weight right there.

So, uh.... after watching some UFC Unleashed... I've noticed something.
Frank Trigg sucks.
And not just because he took Bas' color spot on the FSN PRIDE (lol on topic) shows either. He just generally sucks as a fighter. I feel like he's the most overrated 'big name' guy I've ever seen.
Not to mention he gives up his back every five seconds and my grandma could probably put the hooks in and get a RNC, am i rite?

LMAO! I was watching Bushido 2 last night, paused it for a leak and a refill (not in the same vessel...), but I popped the TV over to Spike in the mean time. Unleashed was on, so I ended up watching the whole thing and shutting off Bushido (I got sucked in by Diaz/Paresian. I LOVED that fight, I can never watch that one enough times!).
Hehe, I remember watching the PPV (UFC 54?) where Trigg and GSP faced off. Part of me wanted to see Trigg do well, just to shut up all of the haters, but when he ended up with GSP on his back, I thought "Oh my God, not again". To his credit, I think GSP snuck in a hot little right hand the stunned Trigg a bit, and I don't think he was quite the same for the rest of the fight. So yeah, I bet Grandma could score an RNC victory over him no problem. Trigg has been around for a while, and recently won a decision victory over Ron Jhun in Rumble on the Rock, but I think Trigg has a habit of "choking" when he's under the spotlight for big fights.

I'm gonna have to agree on the Frank Trigg thing - he looks like he could REALLY do some damage when he gets someone to the mat, but when he's there, it's almost like he's the high school kid picking fights with the bikers at the bar - y'know it's not gonna end well, but you want to see him do okay anyways.

GHHHHHAAAA!!! Someone hates me... Uh, Minowa.
Live Audio Wrestling:
*Pride has announced the following fights for their May 5th show: *Mirko Cro Cop Vs Ikuhisa Minowa *Alexander Emelianenko Vs Josh Barnett
Anyone else here think my man's marked for death? Aleks Emelianenko is a great match up for Barnett, and a GREAT lead-in for a future, Fedor/Barnett-oh match! I really think Barnett could take it to Fedor, hopefully Pride will give the "Baby Faced Assassin" a chance to prove me wrong!

Oh, shit. I had heard Minowa was in line to fight Aleksander (that might be for the first round of the Freeweight tournament, tho), but, drawing Cro Cop is like a fucking death sentence.

I can't wait to see what his crazy-ass training method will be for this one! He stood in a batting cage dodging and taking baseball shots in preparation for his first fight with Baroni. Maybe he can head to Afghanistan and dodge rocket propelled grenades for CroCop's cruise missile-like kicks, either that or take up sprinting...

I know it might be foolish, but I TOTALLY want a Minowa victory.

Poor Minowa...
Although, the "World's Strongest Otaku" Josh Barnett (no shit, that's his new nickname)... that'd be funny as hell to see him go over just to piss off Fedor. Maybe THEN We'd get the brown-note thumbs down!

Well, it looks like you FSN dudes are in for a short night of EXCLUSIVE, Pride content. The Baroni/Kondo fight did not last long (25 seconds.). I won't say who won, but just don't blink when it come on.
Bushido 10 wasn't bad. Minowa-wa-wa-wa-wa beat Gaint Silva with nkees to the HEAD! I guess the gimmick training went well! Henderson looked pretty good (he's learned a couple of new punches! Not just the right haymaker!), but again squeaked out a decision victory. Akihiro Gono's fight was good, he beat Kim Dae Won after getting thrown around like a rag doll for most of the round, another FANTASTIC Korean fighter (scary place! Lots of great guys coming out of Korea these days!).
Jens "lil' Evil" Pulver vs. Kenji Arai: Kenji Arai = Little Takayama. More and more Japanese fighters with fire hydrant-like chins are showing up these days! Pulver threw Arai some HARD shots, and Arai just kept on going! Pulver finally knocked Arai down in the second round and finished the fight with a BRUTAL soccer kick to Arai's face, and it sounded like Arai's nose busted into a billion pieces! Nice fight, maybe now Pulver won't underestimate his opponents.
Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen vs. Luiz Azeredo: Hansen is MMA's biggest psychologist. Mind games galore! Azeredo is another great Chute Boxe academy fighter who is a blast to watch, but ever since his debut in Pride and his AMAZING match with Hayato Sakurai, Hansen has been creeping up on me! BIG nkee kick to the face ended the night for Azeredo, amazing shit! If you guys get a chance, look up Joachim Hansen's fights. He's a friggin ANIMAL!
Marcus Aurelio vs. Takanori Gomi: Wow. If you bet the house on the underdog, you don't need to go to work anymore. Gomi choked UNCONCIOUS 4:34 into the first round via triangle. Just... wow.
Not a bad show, but a lot of good fights were cut out. Brutal. I sometimes think Pride is trying to commit suicide with UFC on such a meteoric rise in North America. Oh well.
