Antonio Inoki is going to be a sad panda now that MMA is making a mainstream comeback in Japan, and he will bring back Inoki BOM-BA-YE and have Yuji Nagata get knocked out in thirty seconds to a top level fighter. I dare anyone to say I am wrong! I’m calling it now.

I'd love to see only the Zuffa era stats. I bet they're much different. Zuffa Brand UFC: 609 matches Percent Decision = 30.7 And what’s more important to note is that a decision doesn’t necessarily equal a boring fight.

Zuffa Brand UFC:

609 matches
Percent Decision = 30.7

And what’s more important to note is that a decision doesn’t necessarily equal a boring fight.

They encourage fighters to stay in guard and attempt to cut foreheads. Yawn. Like we really need to see boring bloodbaths." I'm personally on the side for elbows. The lack of them encourages fighters on the bottom to keep the opponent in their guard as long as possible until the guy on top (hopefully) makes a mistake. Yawn. Like we really need to see some more hand holding in a closed guard. The fact of the matter is, the UFC rules create more action and lead to more finishes. Pride stats: 600 Percentage Decision = 31.50 UFC stats: 885 matches Percentage Decision = 26.89 “I’m personally on the side of no elbows.

Without those rules, this is just the new HEROS not the new PRIDE. Still great, but not the dream I had in mind. Somehow, I doubt we’re going to see PRIDE rules.

I'm looking forward to both promotion's and hopefully they have a better product than EliteXC!
