Just letting folks know that Pride 32, in Las Vegas will be live on XTM at 9:30 am Sunday, and later on in the evening, 7:30 or so. It's one helluva lineup. Mike Tyson will also be there to announce his debut into Pride.

Seems Sean O'Haire, formerly of the WWE is his replacement and the match against Butterbean will be MMA style (versus boxing when Mark Hunt was involved). O'Haire has lost in under 60 seconds in all of his matches except one. Mike Tyson will also be boxing against somebody in an exhibition.

I'm looking forward to Shogun/Randleman. In Las Vegas you're not allowed to kick or stomp your opponent when he's down, which is basically Shogun's bread and butter. Randleman will be fired up on his home soil as well. Should be a good one...

Man that female ring announcer sucks major ass, she's friggin terrible, almost as bad as that loser who got ko'd by butter bean in 29 seconds, seems like he had no fight plan at all, at 6 foot 5 he should have used his reach, all he did was walk in and get smashed. Mark hunt would have put on a much better show for sure.

After watching Butcherbean and Sean O'Haire just now, I can see why O'Haire has lost every one of his MMA fights. He fights like a guy that has no training for this kind of thing. Molasses.

Belfort vs Dan Henderson was a great fight, but I got to wonder how one judge could have scored it 30 to 24 for Henderson. Did he dominate the fight that much?

Looking forward to some great fights coming up. Coleman and Emelianenko haven't fought yet.

Randleman has got to be feeling a little embarrassed after that fight. Being submitted so quickly must have brought back memories of his second fight with Crocop. You could see that if he was in Japan he would have just kicked Rua a bunch of times and escape the submission, but due to Vegas rules that was not an option. He held on for quite a while in an obviously very painful position.

It was expected that the no kicking rule would go against Rua but it seems quite the opposite.

In the Emelianenko-Coleman fight, sorry to say but Coleman proved to be a lobster-colored punching bag for Emelianenko. Coleman basically just tried to immobilize the Russian while he caught his breath. He did have a good takedown near the end of the fight, and proceded to inch his way up Fedor's torso but in almost exact repeat of their prior encounter, Fedor did a sort of twisting manoever and trapped Coleman in an armbar. Fight over. There were a number of times when Fedor normally would have launched some kicks while his opponent was on the floor, and possibly have ended the fight sooner.

Coleman was given the microphone after the match, and holding back his sobs he merely told his daughters that daddy was okay. The girls rushed the stage and embraced their father. His face had truly taken a beating.

Fedor kicked colemans butt. Probably the best fight, colemans face was looking pretty messed up, fedor is such an unassuming looking guy, he was just chilling playing cards before the fight with his buddys. He must have ice in his veins or something, you can tell nothing worries him, such a hard ass. I didn't see mike tyson once, i thought he was showing up for a guest appearance or something?

Nice to hear. Fedor is such a machine, and so humble about it. No fuss. I'd actually love to see him take on some of those much louder and more arrigant UFC guys. I think he'd destroy each and every one of them quick smart. I'd particularly love to see him take out Chuck Liddel and Tito Ortiz.

Evidently, Tyson was fighting at a different location - Youngstown, Ohio. Here's the run-down of his reportedly ho-hum performance that drew a lot of boos from the fans: http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2633691
