[...] president of PRIDE Nobuhiko Takada says PRIDE will return in October. Dana White says that ain’t happening. Takada has a history of making bogus announcements. [...]

Ivan, do you have a source for that post?

From what Lorenzo and Frank and Dana have said in interviews, I dont think they want to completely dismantle PRIDE. They created a holdings group to acquire the organization, and Dana himself has expressed intereset in running shows in East Asia.

But as far as fighters fighting in both promotions – yeah, that is unlikely. I know I personally cant afford $80 in PPVs.

Well didnt they say that Takada would remain with Zuffa-owned-Pride?
so i dont think the fact that takada is making this announcement really means that the sale didnt go through.

But having Takada work for DSE (via hustle) and Zuffa-Pride is pretty bizarre. Especially if Sakakibara is still with DSE, because then Takada can just relate all internal pride-related news back to him.

Maybe this means that the UFC is not closing sale on Pride!?!?

There will be another Pride event when or if Zuffa decides for there to be another Pride event. If there ever is one, it will feature only the fighters that Zuffa doesn’t want in the UFC or WEC.

I don’t think the right hand knows that there is even a left hand
