Yeah, and having watched nearly every UFC and Pride event, I'm extremely surprised at this. Suddenly I'm wondering if Pride didn't manipulate matchups to make their fighters look better than they were.
I really want to see Fedor as a UFC fighter.

On the other hand when UFC fighters have gone to Pride they haven't done terribly well except for Josh Barnett. Consider Chuck Liddell going to fight in Pride in 2003.. Chuck was the UFC LHW Champ at the time and he lost to Rampage. It makes this rematch all that much more exciting.

In the end though, I thought Crocop would walk through the UFC heavyweight division so I'm eating crow.
