PRIDE and UFC veteran Frank “Twinkle Toes” Trigg made his debut on Tagg Radio this past week. Trigg told listeners he had no new information on the Fertitta’s purchase of PRIDE but he did state that his services are no longer being rendered.

“All I know is there is a gentleman there by the name of Jamie who is supposively going to be the new president. Works for the UFC currently right now and he is getting ready to move his wife and family over there and that’s all I know. I didn’t get spoken to by anybody, ah nobody else was there from the powers that be so I don’t know what’s going on. As of right now to my knowledge I believe my services are no longer being rendered.”

Trigg also said he is still looking to fight but he isn’t currently under contract with any organization. His fight against Robbie Lawler was the last on his Icon Sport contract and his PRIDE contract was only a one-fight deal.

So as of right now, Frank Trigg’s future with PRIDE is in limbo but we should know more come May 1st.

Pretty shitty deal for Trigg there but promotions like Cage Rage/Elite XC/Strikeforce etc will almost instantly inquire about his services and sign the ****er up due to his name value.

I'm sure Trigg won't be out of work for long. I wouldn't be surprised to see him back in the UFC before his fighting career is over.

He looked technical as always in his PRIDE return against Misaki, before being stifled by Lawler. However, I think his prospect return to the UFC is solely dependant on how hard he works.

For one I think he needs to trim down. He's a bit bulky and it's limiting his mobility and reflexes, but he's obviously sacrificing that for his strength on the ground because that's where he hangs his hat.

He ran into problems with Lawler because I don't think he's a striker by nature, Lawler being one because he has the physique for that type of fight, and has the Miletich background to boot.

I didn't think Trigg was all that bad on the Pride broadcasts. He was no Bas, but who is?
