Emelianenko Fedor will NOT be participating in PRIDE 27: Inferno on Feb 1st. Fedor is making intensive preparations for a full fight schedule for 2004 and his fans will have the chance to see him in action very soon. Also, Mirko 'Cro Cop' Filipovic has not been confirmed for Inferno as of yet, despite rumors to the contrary.

Reports out of Japan suggest that Antonio 'Minotauro' Nogueira will face World's Strongest Man Champion Magnus Samuelson at Pride FC: Inferno on Feb 1st. Stay tuned.

Nog will win. I dont care if CroCop ever fights in pride again, unless it is to get his skull caved in by Fedor......
