I don't think hendo will have those belts for long, the 185 perhaps but not the 205

Better not fuck with Shogun

Super heavyweights and freak show matches own
I read this thing on pride's site that said some 600lb sumo guy lost to. um Emmanuel Yarborough lost to Daijyu Takase by submisson

He better keep Josh Barnett

Don’t forget Hendo is world class on the ground and his stand up is equally as good that should be an explosive fight it only makes since that it is next! Hard to pick that fight for me!

I just hope dana doesn't come down with a major case of Douchebaggery
