11 Fights... Now the problem is gonna be which fights are gonna be aired in the U.S.

they might decide to show Giant's fight and not show Anderson Silva's, that would suck ass.

I was thinking the exact same thing. That better not happen.

At least it's on in North America this time.

Pride might just show them all, they usually do. Although I dont think they've had a card this big yet...

Predictions?

Fedor Emelianenko (Russia) vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (Brazil) - Fedor by UD
Hidehiko Yoshida (Japan) vs. Rulon Gardner (USA) - Yoshida by submission
Wanderlei Silva (Brazil) vs. Kazushi Sakuraba (Japan) - Silva by KO
Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic (Croatia) vs. Kevin Randleman (USA) - CroCop by KO
Dan Henderson (USA) vs. Yuki Kondo (Japan) - Henderson by TKO
Takanori Gomi (Japan) vs. Jens Pulver (USA) - Pulver by TKO

I must say that this is an incredible card. And Pride even managed to keep those dumb****, don't-make-no-sense matches to a bare minimum (e.g. Giant Silva vs. Choi). Here are my picks:
Fedor Emelianenko (Russia) vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (Brazil) - Fedor by decision
Hidehiko Yoshida (Japan) vs. Rulon Gardner (USA) - Gardner by TKO (via Yoshida injury)
Wanderlei Silva (Brazil) vs. Kazushi Sakuraba (Japan) - Sak by sub (hey, I can wish, right?)
Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic (Croatia) vs. Kevin Randleman (USA) - Cro Cop by KO
Dan Henderson (USA) vs. Yuki Kondo (Japan) - Kondo by decision
Takanori Gomi (Japan) vs. Jens Pulver (USA) - Gomi by decision
Makoto Takimoto (Japan) vs. Henry “Sentoryu” Miller (USA) - Takimoto by sub
Stefan Leko (Germany) vs. Ikuhisa Minowa (Japan) - Leko by KO
Paolo “Giant” Silva (Brazil) vs. Choi Mu Bae (Korea) - Choi Mu Bae by sub
Yoji Anjo (Japan) vs. Ryan Gracie (Brazil) - Anjo by decision
Ryo Chonan (Japan) vs. Anderson Silva (Brazil) - Silva by KO

My predictions:

Nogueira by Decision
Yoshida by Sub
Wanderlei Silva by TKO
Mirko Filipovic by Decapitation
Hollywood Herderson by Decision
Gomi by TKO
Sentoryu by TKO
Minowa by Decision (that's right. Leko needs to go back to K-1)

Ryan Gracie by Sub
Anderson Silva by TKO

Bub said Ryan by sub too.....

I meant "Gracie by sub"

I forgot the /sarcasm tags

Oh, my bad. Ryan likes to trade too. We'll see......

I wonder how many times "Gracie by sub" has been typed in to a forum?

Not even Anjo's sumo skills are gonna stop Ryan's takedown

Isnt Anjo the guy who went to Rickson gym and got his ass beat? I have the book in the house but I dont feel like going to look it up......

Updated, Silva by JD...
Change from Silva Ko round 1 to Silva sub round 2 :notworthy

I have this feeling Silvas getting knocked out. His only hope is the GnP victory or sub from top. I was very impressed by Hunts sub defense though.
