LOS ANGELES, California -- Three more matches were announced today to round out the fight card for PRIDE FC: FINAL CONFLICT, scheduled for November 9th, 2003 from the Tokyo Dome in Japan.

In a reserve bout for the middleweight tournament, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu legend and former UFC champion Murilo Bustamante will be taking on PRIDE FC superstar Dan Henderson. Bustamante is coming off of a close split decision loss to Quinton Jackson at TOTAL ELIMINATION in what many considered the fight of the night. Henderson's last PRIDE FC appearance was at BODY BLOW where he TKO'd Japanese fighter Shungo Oyama in the first round. In the event of an injury to one of the tournament participants, the winner of Bustamante/Henderson will step in.

In the second announced match, it will be a battle of super heavyweights as Gary "Big Daddy" Goodridge takes on UFC veteran and former King of the Cage champion Dan "The Bull" Bobish.

In addition, "The Texas Crazy Horse" Heath Herring will go head to head with Japanese fighter Norihisa Yamamoto.

Besides that fight.....I couldn't be happier.

I would rather see Cro Cop vs. Fedor than Nog. I think Nog is going to be a tougher fight than Fedor would have been.

but I guess if you're going to be #1 you gotta fight everyone.

so Busta has a chance to get back in the tournament in the case of an injury? wow.

Man, I wish it was happening tonight.

Wait, isn't this Yamamoto the same Yamamoto that got choked out by Rickson back in Japan Vale Tudo? Damn, this guy barely makes heavyweight. Another freakazoid match up.

This is true, but remeber Henderson vs. Nog? Henderson took that fight on short notice, was out weighed by 40lbs, and still managed to escape everything Nog thru at him, except the last armbar. He did great in that fight. I think Henderson has a really good chance. Both are good boxers, as far as the boxing skill goes, I give the edge too Murilo, but Dan has got that powerful right. It's an even matchup all around if you ask....

Im just waiting for wanderlei to kick the shit of quinton jackson.

Great card. Hendo vs. Busta will be a technical match for the ages!
A little disappointed in the Randleman vs. Sak match...I guess DSE loves sabotaging Sak's career.
I'd rather have seen Erikson vs. Bobish.
If Nog can stay away from CroCop's bombs, he should win this one handily. That's a big IF, however.
YOSHIDA ALL THE WAY!!!!

Goddridge by KO
Herring by Knees to the dome
I hope that Nog and Sak win
Busta by JD
Liddell by KO or TKO
Silva by brutal rapeage
Sliva will be fresher and will have an edge after Chuck's War with Quinton, so he's the fav but I hope Liddell wins.

Gary "Big Daddy" Goodridge vs. Dan "The Bull" Bobish Big Daddy

PRIDE FC Interim Heavyweight Championship Match
Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic vs. Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira Cro Cop

goodrige, quinton,yoshida,yamamoto,saku,Mirko,yoshida!

Yamamoto is not even winning with Jesus on his side.

But Hearring isn´t a top fighter...

i miss the old Hearring.

Do you know who Yamamoto is? The man barely makes heavyweight, I think his record is 5-10 and something. Herring by brutal TKO (most likely knees to the dome)

Knees to the dome - the classic Heath reaction to gatting someones back...

:sigh: Heath is so dreamy.

Sigh... I wish That I weight 250 and was 6 feet well I am it's just I don't look like Heath

Hardest event ever to pick. I'll probably go 3-5.

It is tough to pick, almost all even matchups.....

I've got to back Chuck. I always have, since he's one of the guys in MMA that would rather stand than wrestle. I know I wouldn't want to go the mat. Heh.

I'm good at predicting how bad I suck at predicting. 3-5 it was.
