Whos gonna kill white? the Yakuzas? are they the shady characters that are preventing UFC from going to japan?
its funny because a couple of months ago, i saw an episode of the deadliest Warrior on Spike.
"Japanese Yakuzas vs Itallian Mafia"
Well its funny because it could literally be Similar
:lol: the Ferttitas are quite powerful iin Vegas and theyre trying to bring UFC/Pride back to Japan but some

oh btw, come to think of it, were they duped before??
i mean, when they bought Pride, they were told they could continue running it. but after they paid for it, they were immediately shut Down! :lol:
Did those Japanese businessmen just took money from UFC and kicked them out of the country??
Man dana mustve been kicking himself after that.
its good because they got mirko, hendo, nog etc from pride though. (i think they got Rampage from another org)

Click to expand...
Rampage was in Pride, but made the jump before the company was purchased.
But, it was a good investment, even without being able to go to Japan for competitions there. Guys like Hendo and Nog are able to get a better venue on where to show their skills.

If they do go to Japan I hope they give Bruce Buffer the night off. I love Bruce Buffer and he is the UFC IMO but it would be awesome to get the Pride/Dream chick. I know it wont happen btw.
