This bit from the pride visa article pretty much sums it up…
PRIDE¤Î¥¢¥á¥ê¥«¥Ç¥Ó¥å¡¼¤¬²Ì¤¿¤·¤Æ·×²èÄ̤ê¤Ë¤¤¤¯¤Î¤«¡¢´´Éô¤ÃƬ¤òǺ¤Þ¤»¤Æ¤¤¤ë¡£¡¡ÌäÂê¤Ã³°¹ñ¿Ãê¼ê¤Î¥Ó¥¶ÌäÂê¤À¡£¡¡¥ÃÂ¥
Wha?
Ed. — Is this the paragraph you refer to?

No UFC predictions this time around?
I say:
Jardine over Nickels (TKO)
Okami over Starnes (Decision)
Guida over James (Submission)
Pellegrino over Assuncao (Submission)
Hironaka over Fitch (Decision)
Fisher over Lauzon (KO or TKO)
Kongo over Marrero (KO or TKO)
Sherk over Florian (Whatever Sherk deems necessary)
Franklin over Silva (Decision)
A more in-depth preview/predictions can be found at my blog.
Here’s mine:
Jardine- TKO
Okami- UD
James- RNC
Pellegrino- some kind of sub
Fitch- TKO
Fisher- KO
Kongo- KO
Florian- RNC (not really, but I hope)
Franklin- doctor stoppage-cut
Correction:
Nickels is out due to a back injury that apparently happened after the weigh-ins yesterday.
