NEWS ABOUT GRAND PRIX
Some interesting news coming from Japan. The Japanese site Gryphon reports that the confirmed participants for PRIDE GP are Mirko, Nogueira, Herring, Vovchanchyn, and Sergey Kharitonov.
About Fedor, DSE is negotiating with his new team RED DEVIL but he will enter the tournament. (On 2H2H ring, Fedor officially announced his participation in GP.)
Mirko himself denied the rumor about the offer with Pat Miletich to train in the Miletich Fighting Systems. There is a strong possibillity that Stephan Leko will enter the tournament. Takayama denied the offer from Mirko and won't be in the GP.
Murillo Ninja may be Chute Boxe's representative for the GP (W.Silva said same thing in his interview by KAMIPURO). Fujita and Josh Barnett have little possibility of entering the tournament due to political issues between DSE and Inoki's company (New Japan Pro Wrestling).
Besides Fedor's match, DSE is planning Coleman vs Vovchancyn, Yoshida vs Leko. But nothing is certain.
Other possible participants for PRIDE GP:
Yoshida(He may go to Athens as a TV reporter of Judo)
Sentoryu(ex-sumo wresler aka Henry Miller)
Predator(ZERO-ONE Prowrestler and he won his MMA debut match in Dynamite!!)
Hirotaka Yokoi(RINGS, PRIDE veteran with no losses in MMA. DSE planned Yokoi vs Nog at PRIDE27 and Yokoi vs Einemo at Bushido2.)
Jon Olav Eienemo ( He is BookerK's favorite. But as Gryphon said, he is out for 6-12 months due to injury.)
Also, they mentioned Shilt, Arona, Frye, Andrei Kopylov, Giant Silva, Rizzo, Mcgee and so.
