Yup, I was sorely disappointed with Ortiz-Shamrock fight as well. Granted, Shamrock is gonna lose anyway but I felt that the ref should have given a bit more "allowance" considering the amount of hype they built up for this fight.

My disappointment got erased in an instant when Wanderlei Silva walked into the Octagon wearing PRIDE t-shirt.. It's one of truly few "holy ****!" moments UFC has given us.

I learned that not only would Silva fight on the November card, Phil Baroni (who fought in UFC before like Silva did) and Fujita will be fighting on the card too! (source: mmanews.com and mmaweekly.com). If there are two more PRIDE fighters added to the card.. that would make it a full-fledged UFC vs PRIDE card!

Sadly, I think most PRIDE fighters will whip UFC fighters' ass.

Lastly, I don't think Tito should waste his time with Ken again. Tito should be eyeing another title shot with Lidell soon. It takes a long time to get a fight signed and then train/prepare for the fight.. Tito shouldn't be wasting his time with B-level fighter like Ken Shamrock (yes I know he's a hall-of-famer and kicked ass in the old days, but now he's a shell of his former self).

Tito also should not be fighting Forrest Griffith again.. that's who Tito said he wants to fight again.. just my opinion.
