See more reason to root for Tito….ORTIZ BABY!!!!
I’m cheering for Ortiz just because everyone’s counting him out. And yeah, it would be great to see Couture get back in the ring and take on Ortiz!
I see a new fight has been added to Shockwave: Fujita vs. Eldari Kurtanidze. No idea who Eldari is…
Oops. Here’s the link for the updated Shockwave card:

Eldari is a Georgian wrestler who is a world champion and won two bronze medals at the 2000 olympics.
I can almost see it, Sakakibara going “Sign that olympic wrestling Kurt guy” and PRIDE’s version of Johnny Ace signs this Georgian wrestler.
The article on Joslin was one of the best MMA articles I have ever read. Blood, sweat and tears!!! I am a sucka for these kind of stories. Highly recommended.
lol@bl…yea I can see that too.
Fujita against someone who doesn’t belong in the ring with him. Hey, it’s proven to be fun in the past.
