I think alot of you will agree with this one. What we all want to know is “Who is the best in the world?” With ZUFFA buying PRIDE FC, I think it would be wise to combine the two shows so that the controversy over “who is the best?” can be settled once and for all. Everyone wants to see Wanderlei vs. Liddell so why not make it happen? We are talking about arguably the best fight in ages. Both are former champions who JUST lost their belt. They are also both very hungry for a win and have had a rivalry that hasnt been settled. UFC 75 is just the beginning with a CHAMPION VS. CHAMPION match. By the way I got HENDO to win that one!
