UFC bought pride ..at first they were going to run it then closed it because of claimed coruption....alot of weird stories there also alot of PRIDE fighters were reluctant to join the UFC. Also the way the UFC is they shouldn't be dumping 2-3 straight loss fighters. they should keep them as journeymen and build up to non televised events AND do 1-2 cable fight cards a monthlike boxing does..jesus christ HAHA
they didnt want to push him out. do you have any clue what kind of $$$$ they paid to get him to leave PRIDE.
