That's sweet because those are the exact matches I voted for on the PrideOfficial.com site. It should be a pretty damn good 2nd round.

Kass101 · 06-07-2006, 11:33 PM

ya for sure. and isnt drago vs zentsov also on this card. thats other very good hw fight.

NinjaShogunRua · 06-07-2006, 11:37 PM

yeah I read that fight is gonna be on the undercard as well. 2 Hard hitting HW added to the mix will be nice. I hope they get Lil Nog on this card somewhere too, it's been awhile since he last fought in Pride.

ya he needs a fight and i could see gomi fighting on this card aswell. i forget what sakakibara said about that but he needs a fight.

Sakakibara said that he wanted Gomi to fight on the August 26th Bushido event, and wants to have a #1 contender match for Gomi's title on the same show. Then on the November 5th Bushido show have Gomi defend his title.

Also Complete Vale Tudo Access is reporting that DSE has also announced that Evanglista "Cyborg" Santos is gonna make his Pride debut vs Kazuhiro Nakamura at the 2nd Round OWGP event. So add a solid LHW match to the card as well.
