Pride wants Fedor vs. TK for Bushido

[Shooto Panama]

Pride is trying to sign Fedor vs. "TK" Kohsaka for the next Pride Bushido 4/3 in Yokohama. It seen DSE want this match to happen before Fedor vs. Crocop later this year.

Now the bad news:

1.Fedor still has not signed with DSE.

2. Kohsaka is considering an offer to work for Akira Maeda, on the 3/27 Saitama Super Arena HERO`S show produced by K-1.

I would LOVE to see this fight...
It is a make up of an old fight that newbs ALWAYS bring up when it comes to Fedor. I think Fedor will hurt the poor guy seeing as how Bas was able to beat him soundly when TK was at da top of his game.
I would rather see TK sign with Maeda honestly though, considering he will compete better against their fighters then Prides.

great fight to take. would be entertaining plus Fedor can avenge his blemish. having Fedor on a Bushido card would likely boost ratings and PPV buys as well. all around a good thing to happen IF Fedor signs.

Yeah, I think Pride is just trying to beat around the bush...
They ARE going to give him his money. Everyone wished and prayed for this fight, most likely including Fedor himself, I think this is actually a gift by Pride if he signs.
" Here Fedor, sign and we will let you destroy what is the only blimmish you have."
and...

Wow. This is grand news. I wish I still had a copy of their "fight" to post here.
:(

Nice, could be a good tune-up fight for Fedor. I see a bad night in store for TK.

Or becoming the only man to defeat Fedor twice.

Fedor will destroy TK

[Johnny Toetags]

It's the ultimate test for the TK guard!!! Now we will see just how deadly it is! [/yeah, right]

heh both by cut or what? i cant see him winning any other way unless he stole alistair overeems hammer, and struck fedor with it without the ref seeing.

It only takes 2 seconds to win in MMA. Anything can happen... ANYTHING.

You can all count your chickens before they hatch... for me I'll assume how many will hatch and wait to see for myself.

of course anything can happen. still doesnt change the fact that it isnt very likely. if he did lose to him, its gonna end up one of those silva vs saku things where saku is his bitch, as Silva so kindly put it.

also demoralizing, ala hunt vs wandy "who is going to beat wandy? who @ 205?!?!?" then in 3 days, it all ended and a Newzie came in and took the JD.


Can Fedor be beaten by Mirko?!?!? Nog??!?!? etc... and then a guy past his prime in the spotlight of MMA somehow takes out Fedor. That is so anti climactic.

TK is gonna get mauled I really don't wanna see this sign Mikro v Fedor already

At least if this fight happens we're one step closer, as it means Fedor has signed with Pride.

[fightguy]

Agreed. This is seriously starting to piss me off. We need to see Mirko/Fedor NOW!!

[Giant Robot]

Is there some negotiating tactic that I don't know about where somehow, it'd be easier for Pride to sign Fedor if they offer him TK as a warm-up?

I'm guessing that's their plan. After all, it's Fedor's only loss.

that is the suggestion that I offered earlier...
I think it is like
"sure, not quite as much money, BUT
you get to eat this guy"

[Fighting_Irish1]

This is zuffa's usual circle jerk way of negociating big fight we won't see Mikro v Fedor till the MW GP finals at the earliest

is this what ya meant';

[dy-no-mite3000]

[Mad Processor]

Nah, he's Irish, I cannot give negative rep points to Irish people.

[Fighting_Irish1]
