It wasn’t really non-exclusive, Denis had to have PRIDE’s consent in order to take those fights.

I don't bet but if I did I'd be placing all decision based on Coutures opinion. I picked Rampage because Randy Couture said he believe Rampage would win just as he predicted Gonzales over Cro-Cop.

Your opinion is correct IMO. Thats the way it seems to always works when buying the competition. “My opinion is that UFC has made the calculation that it’s a lot easier to just bring PRIDE fighters into the fold in UFC than it is to run a separate promotion.”

He has proven that he can't beat the top guys already. It would be much worse if he was an unproven up and comer. Losing Barnett is no suprise. Barnett screwed over Zuffa, and they have never gotten along since. I do think if Zuffa lost Kang, it would be a big loss. He is a solid contender at 185 lbs. I think he beats Misaki in a rematch rather easily. Alexander Emelianenko isn’t exactly a huge loss. He has proven that he can’t beat the top guys already.

Maybe Shogun vs the winner of Ortiz vs Evans, and the winner of that fight takes the winner of Liddell vs Wanderlei Silva. And the winner of that fight challenges the winner of Henderson vs Rampage for the unified LHW champion. What a ride it will be. The future LHW match-ups are tantalizing.
