"UFC buys PRIDE” topic is heating up on the Internet right now. Komikazee doesn’t usually post rumors or speculation but even we can be intrigued by the cacaphony that is currently echoing around the World Wide Web.
The possibilities are endless if this happens. Most point to a Raw vs. Smackdown model where both organizations run separately but meet up for a giant cross-over once a year. Some sources state that it will be a joint venture between a new Japanese company (not DSE) and the Fertitta brothers, who own Zuffa which runs the UFC and WEC. Regardless, each offering has its own pitfalls and benefits and we will leave you to formulate your own conjecture.
Here are some links so that you can follow all the hubbub around the Internet:
