Has anyone heard any rumors about the fight card for final conflict 2004?

good question...

This isn't set in stone, but likely some of the card...

Sergei Kharatonov Vs. Fedor Emilenanko
Minotouro Noguera vs. Chicken Ogawa
Silva Vs. Kondo

There's a good possibility of a Dan Henderson/Murilo Bustamante match. Ummmm. Mark Hunt might be fighting again, against maybe Mark Coleman. And Cro Cop is supposed to fight Fedor's little brother, Alexander.

I read somewhere, that Hendo said he will not be fighting Busta anytime soon, I cant remember where I read it, Ill look around.......

I heard Cro-Cop vs. Coleman is a possability too......

Henderson is definitly scheduled for the next Pride card anyways.

I want Hendo Vs. Silva 2.........

I want Hendo Busta 2.

This is what it looks like thus far

- Sergei Kharitonov vs. Fedor Emelianenko: GP Semi-Finals
- Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Naoya Ogawa: GP Semi-Finals
- Nogueira/Ogawa vs. Kharitonov/Fedor: GP Finals
- Wanderlei Silva vs. Yuki Kondo
- Kevin Randleman vs Ron Waterman

If mirko beats alexander - he will face Fedor

I guess there's little doubt about Fedor taking this now. I want Nog to win, but IMO a fresh Nog would still have a hard time against a tired Fedor but now he's gonna have to fight Fedor after a brutal, bloody battle against Khartinov and Fedor is gonna beat Ogawa in under a minute. I just hope the make Busta Hendo 2 happen. That match has SO much potential. I'm also curious to see what happens with Aleksander and Cro-cop. Don't know too much about Aleksander except that he's big.

Wrong, it is Kharitonov vs. Fedor/Nogueria vs. Ogawa.....

I hope you're right Kaps, I keep hearing that they changed it to Nog vs. Khartinov and Fedor vs. Ogawa. I would much rather see your line up though.

I would preffer see Ogawa under a brutal G'n'P session courtesy of Fedor than a beautiful triangle of Nog....I WANT TO SEE A PUNISHMENT TO OGAWA!!!....

Wrong, it is Kharitonov vs. Fedor/Nogueria vs. Ogawa.....

Remember when Kondo KO'd Frank Shamrock? Good times, good times....

LOL@Fightsport. Anyway, I pick Nog or Fedor over Kharatonov but who ever fights him will lose the final round.....

I'm actually looking forward to Yuki and Silva. Silva will prolly knock him out, but I can't look past Yuki as one of the regular tomatoe cans that Silva fights. Cro Cop will **** up Alexander and Randleman will toss Waterman over his shoulder like it aint no thing... IMO.

And the GP.... Damn.... Fedor has probably received the toughest opponents out of every fighter in the GP. Nog has been somewhat catered to if ya ask me, and everyone else has gotten the easier fights.

Bub was right, I seen it on the Pride Japanese site...

Isn't Randleman vs Waterman a conflict of interest? Coleman cornered Waterman in his fight against Valentijn Overeem, so I always figured they trained together.

American fighters just tend to support each other while they're in Japan. Colin Oyama and Chuck Liddell cornered Randleman.

I don't think it would really matter..... afterall..... Randleman and Coleman were taking the chance of fighting eachother when they both entered the GP.

Fedor vs. Ogawa - Fedor
Nogueira vs. Kharitonov - Nogueira
Finals-
Fedor vs. Nogueira - Nogueira


Randleman vs. Waterman - Randleman
Wanderlei vs. Kondo - Wanderlei

these are my picks.
