I guess I'd have to actually hear what he said or read it word for word to determine how emphatic he was about the PRIDE staying separate part. Fair enough.

I guess we disagree about it being a big news item. Regardless, I left a link so that everyone could read the entire thing. Why is it curious just because I reported that Pride may be no more? Do you think there is some big conspiracy in my reporting? I think you need to relax. I wrote several editorials that I took a lot of heat for when I said that I was against the UFC buying Pride (before the sale was announced in late March). If they decide to keep Pride separate, it's news. If they decide to kill it, it's news. If they keep saying they aren't sure, I'm really not sure how big the news is.

If they decide to keep Pride separate, it’s news. If they decide to kill it, it’s news. If they keep saying they aren’t sure, I’m really not sure how big the news is.

This will lead to the planned "Super Bowl of MMA". However, the issues, which Dana did not go into, need to be resolved." From the 411mania link you posted. Maybe you missed it before, I just thought it was curious that you neglected to mention perhaps the biggest news item from the conference, particularly after you wrote that blog post about how PRIDE may be no more. I'm an adamant believer that they always have planned to keep PRIDE shows running in Japan, so I'm interested to see what will come of this new morsel of information. “Dana also mentioned that PRIDE is “a mess” and it is still the plan to run the companies seperately.

I'm not on anyone's bandwagon. Where did you read that he restated the overall plan to keep Pride a separate company?
