He beat Marquardt four years ago. It’s apples and oranges. Matt Hughes submitted GSP in their first fight and got manhandled in their subsequent fights. I’m not saying Almeida can’t or won’t beat Marquardt, but the “he already beat him” arguments are almost always baseless. I’d like to see Almeida against Lutter if Lutter should happen to lose to Franklin.

Yea…Almeida didn’t have any ‘rust’ because he hasn’t stopped fighting/training. He trains like an animal everyday of the week, and has more commitment to the sport than most people realize. Almeida was King of Pancrase and is still very young….he walked away just when he peaked. It takes a bigger man to make that kind of life decision! His life is where he wants it now and he is back! The upcoming fights will get interesting, I think? His bjj is world class…check his stats! And his striking is hardly ever used, but it is there! Props to Yundt for taking the fight and even being aggressive in the ring! Welcome back Big Dog!

My point is there is NO cross prom. they all are under cont to the UFC.Pride had really Great People fighting, now most of them are in the ufc.when its all said and done i think the pride v ufc win/lose tally will slightly favor the ufc, Because of the cage. If pride had bought the ufc it would be reversed.Didnt wandy Fight in the ufc BEFORE he did in pride.So doesnt that make him a ufc guy that came home.

Nice finish. Anyone who KNOWS MMA understands that Almeida’s finish was a page out of Ben Saunders book….Obviously.

Piped!

ell striko what the hell are you talking about??????? pride fighters own the ufc middleweight, light heavy, and heavyweight belts… houstoun alexander got owned by a pride fighter, so did gabriel gonzaga…there are still a lot of them left to come over, but we won’t see fedor or gomi… i think a lot of the pride fighters have more talent than the cage fighters, but the cage is alomost a whole different sport…ie when wandi dropped chuck with that punch, in pride chuck would have gotten his head soccer kicked off..end of night.
