Alot of stuff was misinterprited...Zuffa nor the UFC own Pride....Lorenzo and Frank Ferttita own Pride and WILL run it smoothly...his company Zuffa will not have much to do with it and espically neither will Dana White that P.O.S. Frank said he bought Pride not as a buisness deal but as a true fan of Pride through the years and wanted to ensure its future in the world of MMA while also forming an "Extended Family" with the UFC. Former Pride c.e.o Sakakibara stated that Pride WILL remain in Japan and run by Japanase staff the same as it was before.The only thing up in the air is the rules that Pride will use and it's weight classes,I hope they keep all the rules the same.
