You meant to say "affect". Mr. Arnold,

You use the word “effect” twice in the opening paragraph. You meant to say “affect”.

Booking their top guys against one another constantly is not going to help them sustain the number of events they want to do throughout the year; where fans in each country want to see their favorites. There is nothing you can do about fighters getting hurt and getting suspended besides being prepared for it.

So, if PRIDE runs every two months, it's going to be difficult for them to keep continuity in booking especially given that they are trying to run Japan simultaneously as well. In addition, the CSAC has a reputation of longer medical suspensions for cuts and other abrasions than NSAC does. UFC at least has a pattern to go by for suspensions and how it effects their matchmaking, whereas PRIDE is trying to serve two masters and juggle a full plate.

If they just left 7 weeks after LV before the next show, a majority of the problems would disappear. In that case, PRIDE is f–king moronic for only leaving 6 weeks between fight dates.

If you do take blows to the head, not fighting for 6 weeks (or a month and a half) is pretty reasonable. Usually, however, PRIDE runs many shows in a calendar year and with them having to play by NSAC rules, suddenly things aren't smooth sailing.

Slightly shorter? Slightly longer? Regardless, it doesn't surprise me that PRIDE's office--set in their unregulated Japanese promoter ways--managed not to account for the possibility that fighters would be available for their next show. Clearly, no promoter can account for broken bones or serious injuries putting a fighter on the shelf, but when a standard commission-mandated suspension for losing imperils the next show---that's promoter incompetence. If PRIDE didn't think to consult a promoter with significant NSAC experience, then they deserve whatever is coming to them. Zack (or Ivan or Jordan),
