Dana white admits to having no intentions of keeping PRIDE alive
Dana White: Signing Cro Cop ‘Was A Business Move To Kill PRIDE’
Dana is a snake! DSE currently has a lawsuit going against Zuffa as we speak for breach of contract!
Thoughts?

frankly at this point, i really don't care, PRIDE has been gone for so long, it would cost them so much money to start it up again, and plus all these PRIDE fighters that hate Dana, wouldn't want to go over to PRIDE because it would be the same guy that runs the UFC, not a big deal to me anymore

The world of business is nothing more than a snake-pit, I should know, I have ruthless businessmen in my family.

Exactly, the remnants of PRIDE are spreading like medicine for boredom through the world of MMA.

even if they did start it up again, everyone would bitch about the cards because it would be Dana and Zuffa doing them, when the last PRIDE card they did was one of the worst MMA cards i've ever seen

It was indeed, Wanderlei at his worst. Though I did smile when I saw Arona getting knocked out.

i'm not talking about pride 33, Pride 33 kicked ass, Pride 34 sucked, arona got knocked out on the 34 card, Wanderlei wasn't on 34, 34 had the main event Jeff Monson vs. Fujita

My bad, I thought Wanderlei's fight was at 34 (I hated seeing him lose). Anyway what dissapointed me were the rumours that there would be a LW GP a few months later.

This is new? If anything Pride fucked over Zuffa big time when they bought it.

It was a give and take screw-job.
Dana is just blowing smoke up his ass when he said that to cover for embarassment ..

I dont care that he doesnt have PRIDE shows. Im just pissed how he lied this whole year saying he was trying to do something with PRIDE. When in the back of his mind, he wanted to kill it and that was it. He was pulling our chains. The hardcore fans. Fuck that mother fucker!

The only thing Zuffa wanted was to kill it off and then get the contracts of all their fighters, which they didn't.
