The first match announcements for PRIDE Fighting Championships "THE REAL DEAL", PRIDE’s first American event, have been announced. The event, held on October 21st at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, will feature PRIDE Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko and Middleweight Grand Prix Champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua!

PRIDE Heavyweight Champion
Fedor Emelianenko (Russia/Red Devil)
VS
PRIDE Grand Prix 2000 Champion
Mark Coleman (America/Hammer House)

Fedor Emelianenko’ comeback match will be held in Las Vegas! The "emperor", unable to compete in the Open Weight Grand Prix due a slow-to-recover injury, has chosen America as the location to get back in the game. His opponent will be veteran Heavyweight fighter and the pride of America, Mark Coleman.
Mark Coleman comes from a wrestling background in the great wrestling state of Ohio, winning a silver medal in the 1991 freestyle wrestling world championships’ 100kg division and placing 7th in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics freestyle division. Wrestling is a popular sport in America and Coleman use that wrestling to gain fame when he twice dominated UFC tournaments. In short, Mark Coleman is a real American hero. On the other hand, Emelianenko’s background is sambo, the national martial art of Russia. This match will pit the American hero against the Russian emperor and American wrestling against Russian sambo. In Rocky 4, the Russian boxer Drago destroyed Rocky’s friend Apollo Creed in the ring and Rocky went on to take his revenge on Drago. Can Coleman become the modern-day Rocky? Or will he be sent to the mat like Apollo?
Coleman has made it clear that he won’t stop fighting until he has become the PRIDE Champion again. Although this is a non-title fight, a rematch with the current Champion is Coleman’s big chance. Coleman is on fire as he aims for the American dream.

PRIDE Grand Prix 2005 Champion
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua (Brazil/Chute Boxe Academy)
VS
Former UFC Heavyweight Champion
Kevin Randleman (America/Hammer House)

Mauricio "Shogun" Rua will make his comeback in Las Vegas. Shogun’s popularity was proven at the frenzied autograph session held recently and in his seminars, which were packed with students eager to learn from the master. Shogun dislocated his arm in an Open Weight Grand Prix preliminary match against Mark Coleman in February of this year and with that, his dreams of conquering two weight classes disappeared. Shogun’s opponent this time will be Kevin Randleman, a student of Coleman, the man who stole Shogun’s dreams.
When Randleman is on his game, he’s even more dangerous than Coleman. Will Shogun be able to make his comeback against Randleman, a man with superhuman physical abilities and wrestling techniques?

I do not know if Chuck Liddell will ever be a Pride Fighter! But maybe Chuck Liddell can fight in Pride Fighting Championship once again!  Chuck has been to Pride before.  Liddell went to Japan to compete in the PRIDE 2003 Middleweight Grand Prix tournament as the UFC’s representative. (PRIDE’s middleweight division is comparable to UFCs light heavyweight division). After defeating Alistair Overeem in the tourney’s first round, Liddell was defeated by Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, who is to date Liddell’s last and sole unavenged career loss.

 It was announced at UFC 61 in July 2006 that if Liddell beats Sobral, he will fight PRIDE Middleweight (205 lb) Champion, Wanderlei Silva in November at Las Vegas. Dana White confirmed that the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship will be on the line at a press conference after the fight. [1] However, more recent press reports have indicated that contract negotiations between the UFC and PRIDE have failed, which may prevent the fight from happening.[2][3] It is also rumored that Liddell will face Tito Ortiz once again for the Light Heavyweight championship sometime in December after comments made by Ortiz at UFC 62

So will this fight ever happen? Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva !! I sure hope so and it will sell out and hundreds of thousands of people will pay to watch Chuck Liddell in the Pride Fighting Championships

Becoming a Pride Fighter is not an easy task. It takes many years to sep into the ring with these crazy mo fo’s.  Pride fighters are genarry gnarly guys to begin with they are already one step ahead of the average guy.  A pride fighter not only trains once a day every daty , but most train 3 times a day at the very least.  I have a friend who trains to become a Pride Fighter. He has a nutritionist who keeps him on a very strict diet.  If he does not stick to the diet he will have less endurance and migh gas in early round.  Pride sometimes has ten minute first rounds so you must be prepared to do this properly.  Most pride fighters wake up at 8 A.M. , they then eat a proper meal, and get to training by Nine A.M. . They train with their team until about eleven. They break eat more and then hit the gym for a couple hours. Now the rest for the evening training sesion which is usually at 7 P.M. until 9 P.M. Then they go to sleep by 12. This is what they do every day of the year! It’s crazy if you want to be a Pride Fighter you must be focused and ready to commit your life to becoming a pride fighter . If you make it to the big leauges and win you will reap all the benefits of fame which includes groupies, cash money, and power. It is good times when you are on top and make sure you do not get too caucky because someone will be able to beat you one day!  Be careful and show respect to your fellow Pride Fighter !
