recent and in demand. NOTE: ALL EVENTS ARE ON TAPE AND THE SYMBOL
DESCRIBES WHAT THE EVENT WAS TRANSFERED FROM, NOT TO!!

20/8/03
UFC 44 (Septemeber 26th)
sees the unification of the Light Heavyweight Belts
.
Tito Ortiz
was too injured/scared to face Chuck
Liddell but is more than happy to fight
Randy Couture
for the belt in the main event which
takes place in late September.
03/8/03 PRIDE 26
saw
Mark Coleman
beat
Don Frye
AGAIN. Mirko Filipovic
vs Heath Herring was a great fight with Mirko being
a great K-1 standup fighter but here he beat a top 5 MMA fighter.
Expect Mirko to be fighting for the Heavyweight belt SOON.
Fedor Emelianenko
vs Kazuyuki Fujita was also great. The new champ
found it hard going against the experienced japanese fighter
but won through in the end. PRIDE 25 was a great
event. Randleman and Jackson collided for the right to face
Vanderlei Silva
for the Pride Middleweight Championship and
Jackson won by KO. He then called out Vanderlei who jumped on
stage and started a brawl with Jackson. Great.
Fedor Emelianenko
vs
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
for the Heavyweight Title did happen at Pride
25 and finally the great man lost. Fedor was brilliant at Ground
and Pound and Nog had no answer.
Sakuraba
continued his dissapointing fall from greatness
by being KO'ed by third rate brazilian fighter Nino Schrembri.
The end for Sak???? Of course not, instead he gets another shot
at Middleweight Champ!!
UFC 43- Tito Ortiz chickened
out of a fight with long standing NO.1 contender because of injury
trouble (*cough cough*) talks with WWF etc... so former heavyweight
champion
Randy Couture
stepped in to face and beat Chuck for the
"Interim" title, whatever that means.
Tank
fought Kimo in a grudge match, Vitor Belfort
made a dramatic comeback in the octagon and Matt Lindland managed
to knock himself out.
Fedor vs
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
for the Heavyweight Title didn't happen at
P ride 24
, instead Nog beat Dan Henderson the only man to have beaten
him in his MMA career.
Pride 23
saw Fedor Emelianenko vs Heath Herring for the right
to fight Nogueira for the Heavyweight Title. Fedor demoliseh
the younger opponent.
Pride slowed down after Shockwave.
Pride 22 was a slow burner, main news
that
Igor Vov
lost to Jackson. Kevin Randleman went on a
3 match winning streak after joining Pride.
Jackson
and Randleman would collide at Pride 25 for the right
to face
Vanderlei Silva
Ricco Rodriguez took over the UFC title at
UFC 39 but lost it to giant Tim Sylvia by KO at
UFC 41 . Matt Hughes succesfully defended
his belt against Sean Sherk at
UFC 42 .
Pride ShockWave was huge!!
Don Frye
got Ko'ed,
Sakuraba
lost to
Cro Cop
and
Royce Gracie
was cheated out of a victory by a dubious
decision. But the fight of the night was
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
vs Bob Sapp for the Heavyweight Title.
Sapp almost killed him in the first few seconds and pounded
Nogueira, but Nog got the victory in the end in one of the most
exciting fights of all time.
UFC 40 went off with a bang, the
main event between
Ken Shamrock
and Light-Heavyweight Champion
Tito Ortiz
was a grudge match, but a rather one sided
affair with Tito coming off best.
Matt Hughes
Defended his title with ease and surely is
the best pound for pound fighter in the world.
29/08/02 UFC 40's main event has been announced and it
is a big one. Current Light-Heavyweight Champion
Tito Ortiz
renews his bitter rivalry with Lion's den fighters (see videos
UFC 12-22) and takes on the King of the Pride
Ken Shamrock
. Both fighters hate each other and have done since Tito's second
fight with Guy Metzger at UFC 19 when Tito wore a T-shirt saying "Gay
Metzger".
Tito Ortiz
has held the UFC Middleweight belt since UFC 25 when he won
a fight with
Vanderlei Silva
. Defending it against fighters such as Tanner and Sinosic, he
was then meant to face Vitor Belfort at UFC 36 but injury to both Belfort
and Tito ruled this fight out. Now Tito returns to the Octagon to face
surely his biggest challenge since fighting Ken's brother
Frank Shamrock
at UFC 22.
Ken Shamrock
is one of the biggest names in the world of fighting. Taking
part in 3 UFC tournaments (UFC1,3 + UU96) he was also UFC superfight champion
from UFC 6-9. He then departed to the world of Pro Wrestling (WWF). Ken
returned in dramatic form in the Pride Grand Prix knocking out Alexander
Ostuka and fought a good fight with Kazayuki Fujita before gassing. Ken
returned in Pride 19 to take part in one of the biggest MMA fights ever againts
Don Frye
. Now he sets his sights firmly on the UFC belt and aims to regain
what he considers to be rightfully his.
UFC 40 is due to take place in November.
24/8/02 The next big events are UFC 39 and
Pride 22 right?? NO. Pride has announced an AMAZING card which
will take place before Pride 22 called PRIDE SHOCKWAVE. The
biggest fighters in the MMA world today are taking part.
Don Frye
is facing K-1 Kickboxing Champion Mark Hunt, Japanese fighting
Legend
Kazushi Sakuraba
(the man who beat 4 Gracies) returns to the ring to face Mirko
Cro Cop Filipov.
But the fight on everyones lips is the challenge match between
former Olympic Judo Champion Hidehiko Yoshida and Brazilian Legend
Royce Gracie
. Royce won 3 of the first 4 UFC tournaments and returned 2 years
ago to fight in the Pride Grand Prix. This is his first fight since that
tournament and while some doubted he'd ever fight again, Royce has returned
to follow in his father's footsteps and take on a Judo Champion.

Vanderlei Silva
