Pride 34 Results
Einige Überraschungen dabei, vor allem der Afrikaner hat sich bestätigt:

Fight #1:
-Edson Drago vs. Yoshihiro Nakao

Round 1: Yoshihiro Nakao defeated Edson Drago in the first round via submission, Tito Ortiz-over-Yuki Kondo-choke at the end of the first round. Pretty competitive up until that point, with both guys having their moments.

Yoshihiro Nakao def. Edson Drago via Submission (neck-crank) in Round 1.


Fight #2:
-Butterbean vs. Zulu

Round 1: Butterbean wins. The two slug early, roll around like giant huge bodies until Butterbean winds up on top. He eventually catches him (missed the submission, think it was kimura - was setting up PRIDE pbp and taking down UFC pbp). Butterbean got choked up thanking Japanese management for all their help, etc. Almost had some tears from the big-boy due to the sale to those dastardly Fertitta's! Still drunk. We continue.

Fight #3:
-Zelg Galesic vs. Makoto Takimoto

Round 1: Okay, I lived up to expectations for UFC "most-detailed results coverage". Can't here. Sherdog or someone wins this one. But I'll let everyone know how shit ends. Damn that 10 minute first-round! Who at 4:00AM intoxicated can remember 10 minutes of MMA action to write in detail in the minute we get between rounds, before a bunch of other shit happens?! Takimoto wins, was taking a piss and missed it lol. Replays is only showing Galesic trying a Sakuraba flying stomp onto a grounded Takimoto. He's (Takimoto) doing his celebration speech though now, so he definitely won. Wish I had more, sorry! WE CONTINUE!

Fight #4:
-Gilbert Yvel vs. Akira Shoji

Round 1: Yvel wins by TKO from strikes on top of Shoji, ref stoppage. Definitely a legit stoppage. Each were playing footsies, trying ankle locks on each other ala Ken Shamrock-Don Frye. Yvel scrambled on top and pounded the shit out of Shoji for about 10-15 seconds until the ref jumped in. I don't know Yvel's recent record, only familiar with his earlier PRIDE days, but I'm thinking this is his first win in ages (even if against a much smaller, pretty much journeyman fighter).

Fight #5:
-Don Frye vs. James Thompson

Round 1: Up now. They're showing Don Frye (by the way I'm watching the Japanese feed and these people fucking LOVE Don Frye...I already knew that but even still, wow). Cool little package. BEST STAREDOWN EVER! The two are grinding faces nose-to-nose in vicious fashion, to the enjoyment of the crowd. That was crazy. Frye drops Thompson early. They do the Frye-Takayama punch-to-punch in-close shit! WOW!!! Ref break, Thompson takes Frye down. Between the staredown and the EXACT same Frye-Takayama fighting exchange, depending on how this ends, we might get some "work" cries from forum people. WE CONTINUE! The two up, Frye takes Thompson down. Frye pulls Thompson down into a guillotine, "give-up?" ref-shouts. Thompson escapes and is on top pounding. They stand up and beat the holy shit out of each other! Well, mostly Thompson. I was yelling to the point of getting scolded by roommates for yelling-volume. Oh well, that was absolutely insane. Thompson wins.

Fight #6:
-Shinya Aoki vs. Brian Lo-A-Njoe

Round 1: Aoki wins quickly by armbar. By the way, Aoki doesn't look right via text how it sounds at this point. Is that alcohol and insomnia mixing together? Aoki armbars Brian-whoever quickly, although Brian-whoever put up a good fight until the finish.

Fight #7:
-Ricardo Arona vs. Sokoudjou

Round 1: Arona going for a takedown, Sokoudjou backing up a tad and landing a nice uppercut that floored Arona. He followed in with punches and stomps to seal the deal quickly.

Sokoudjou def. Ricardo Arona via TKO (strikes) in Round 1.


Fight #8:
-Jeff Monson vs. Kazuyuki Fujita

Round 1: Fujita is out first to the traditional PRIDE theme. Damnit, I love his Muhammad Ali-Antoni Inoki borrowed-music. Sadness. Gee, wonder what music Monson will walk too? Does anyone care about this main event? No more questions. WE CONTINUE! Whoops, Monson is already in there. We'll assume he came out to traditional UFC theme-music. Sakikibara is on announcing for the Japanese feed. Staredown time. First round begins. Relatively boring fight. Monson wins by rear naked choke in the first.

Hab ichs ned gesagt? Arona ist als Grappler extrem überbewertet.. Tito Ortiz hat Arona bei ADCC herumgeschmissen wie ein Puppe (Arona hat gewonnen dennoch glaub ich, aber sonderlich toll ist er nicht).

Er hat nen guten takedown, aber das wars dann auch schon.
