Props too kakuto again...

Yoshida in every newspapers(Props to puroresupower)

This is what it feels like getting pounded by Vanderlei Silva in the face. Virtually everyone in the Japanese press pushed the idea that Hidehiko Yoshida came out of his fight with Vanderlei Silva 'stronger' than anyone ever could have expected.

Yoshida absolutely dominated the newspaper headlines on Monday in Japan, with Sakuraba almost being a second-tier story. With only five fights under his belt, Yoshida's price tag has to be 7-figures now to book him.

True that - he lost and he gets more popular and more $

But he sells - so he will get more money
The Japanese want a good Japanese fighter and Yoshida is thier man

Saku vs Yoshida is my dream match......I wonder if they'll make it happen. I would pick Saku in this one.

I dont think Saku is up for it. But if they want to know how to beat Inoki and K-1 on new years. This would be the fight that makes everyone in Japan watch......

Hell yeah, MAD RATINGS. SilvaxArona is also a logical fight, since they haven't faced off yet and Arona beat Ninja.

Arona has a good chance of beating Silva (yeah, I know he's boring), he really does.

Knowing Pride, I don't think that Rampage is getting a title shot now. Silva is probably gonna fight Yoshida or Arona before he does Jackson.

How about Yoshida Vs. Arona, winner vs. Jackson, winner vs. Silva?

Rampage vs, Arona could be a great match, even though Ricardo is boring to watch; the man cannot be stopped.
