Pride FC 33 Second Coming (To America)

Middleweight Champion "The Axe Murderer" Wanderlei Silva 31-6-1 vs Welterweight Champion "Hollywood" Dan Henderson 21-5 (Rematch) Accolades aside, this fight is for the Middleweight belt. In the first contest, both men threw hard, and sustained a lot of damage. I expect more of the same. Dan will try to keep this fight on the mat as much as possible, but keeping Silva down will be difficult to say the least. Bombs will be thrown, cardio will be tested. It goes to decision, and Wanderlei retains the crown.
WINNER-Wanderlei by decision

Lightweight Champion "Fireball Kid" Takanori Gomi 27-3 vs Nick "Diablo" Diaz 14-6 If Diaz can make the weight, he will be very skinny, and in a new, lighter, world. I'm not sure Diaz is built for this weight class, and Gomi is. Gomi's title is not on the line, but there is a lot of interest in this fight none the less. Nick promised he is coming for the KO, but we'll see after they trade for a while. Diaz has a huge advantage on the ground, but I can see his ego keeping the fight on the feet. If that happens, it'll be a easy night for Gomi. I see this as being a very close fight, but one Gomi finds a way to win.
WINNER-Gomi by decision

Jason Lee 0-0 vs Travis "Prounounced View" Wiuff 42-9 Lee is a last second replacement for Nak, who got hurt. Lee has either zero, or little experience, almost zero notice to train, and is up against a behemoth veteran. You make the call.
WINNER-Wiuff by G&P

Hayato "Mach" Sakaurai 29-7-2 vs Mac Danzig 16-3-1 This could be a real interesting match, with a great ground battle. That being said, Mach has done this at a much higher level, for a much longer time.
WINNER-Sakurai by decision

Kazuo "Grabaka Hitman" Misaki (2006 Welterweight Open Champion) vs Frank "Twinkle Toes" Trigg (ICON Middleweight Champion) 14-5 Misaki is a frustrating fighter, but doesn't really excel at anything except being tough. Frank has all the tools and with this is a fight he should win. We'll see which Frank shows up.
WINNER-Trigg by TKO

"Shogun" Rua 15-2 vs Alistair "Demolition Man" Overeem 24-9 (Rematch) I don't see this match playing out much differently than the first. Shogun just has more game than Overeem. Rua has better stamina, striking, and possibly submissions.
WINNER-Shogun by TKO

Antonio Rogerio "Lil Nog" Nogueira 12-2 vs Sokoud Jou 2-1 Jou is who? Heh, that rhymes. This is a nice warm up for Nog, who will get a title shot against the Middleweight Champ next.
WINNER-Nogueira by submission

Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen 14-5-1 vs Jason Ireland 16-6-1 Hansen is frustrated from recent losses and bad performances, and should walk through the gritty Ireland. Hansen is just better, as long as he can abide by the rules.
WINNER-Hansen

Sergei Kharitonov 13-3 vs Michael Russow 3-0 In this heavyweight battle, Kharitonov is coming off two consecutive losses, and lowered expectations. He was once a future #1 contender, and now is trying to work his way back in. Russow is a new fighter, and he brings ground skills to the fight. Sergei must have this win, and I think he'll get it. He has so much promise, a nice skill set, and more experience at the highest level.
WINNER-Kharitonov by TKO
