Wanderlei Silva vs Dan Henderson
Pride 33 happening 2/24 in Vegas. This fight is for Wandy's MW belt. I think it'll be an exciting fight, but I have to question the decision to give Hendo a title shot. Not only are there other, more deserving middleweights, but Pride already has way too few title fights, and having Hendo hold 2 belts simultaneously would just make it worse.
I know it'll probably never happen, but I would love to see Wandy vs Shogun. |

Re: Wanderlei Silva vs Dan Henderson
This is incredibly stupid. Their first fight was awesome, one of the defining fights of pride, but it really makes no sense for them to have a rematch. Henderson lost his last fight at 183, even though he's still the "champ" (a whole different topic), then beat a very disappointing Belfort at 205, and all of a sudden he's getting a title shot? How about giving Filho a shot at 183? Or have a trilogy fight w/ Misaki for the real champion. Why has Wandy still not fought Lil Nog? Why isn't there an Arona/Wand 3? There are too many matchups in each division for this imo.

Re: Wanderlei Silva vs Dan Henderson
UGH. Obvious match with it being in America and all, but I'd much rather see Hendo lose his belt to Misaki, Kang, or Filho, and Wandy fight Lil Nog.
Oh, and stop dreaming about Wandy vs Shogun. At this point, you might as well dream about Little Nog vs Big Nog. They're about as likely. Hopefully either Wandy or Shogun goes to the UFC, so each can be atop a division. Oh, and Wandy/Arona 3 would be a HORRIBLE match for Wandy's US debut. Yes, Arona deserves a shot, but the first two fights were boring. Put that fight in Japan, where the fans will respect it. |

Re: Wanderlei Silva vs Dan Henderson
I love Pride Rules, and many of the fights are awesome. Their matchmaking and the way they handle the titles leaves alot to be desired. The belts get defended once a year, often with an easy fight for the champ. The champs fight tons of non-title fights, lose them, and stay the champ? How does that makes sense? Wandy, Gomi and Hendo have all lost during their "reign", how is that respectable? Its just a more refined version of Pro Wrestling where the org picks the champs outright.
