Notes:

Wow. I don't know what to say.

- Misaki got his ass kicked by, for lack of any better terms, The head of Pride's version of the Spanish announcer's table. He totally got stuffed at the takedown and was just held down. I don't think Misaki's going to show his face in the ring for a while or at least till May. Very embarrassing defeat.

- Poor Rogerio. This was supposed to be an easy fight for him and he ends up getting floored by "Judo Terry". No one, I mean No one saw that knife fist coming. Rogerio has still got to be stinging over the lost. Look on the bright side, some clueless casuals made a total ass load of money.

- Gomi looked gassed after his first round with Diaz. Diaz totally out strike Gomi. it was like once Gomi got hit in the face a couple times, that was it. I think Gomi was to busy aiming for a KO that he put too much of himself in his punches. That really threw him off . Diaz....he fought to survive. His intent was to break something win, lose or draw. The gogo was a nice cherry on the whole situation. Gomi is going to have a hell of a time marketing himself now.

- Really bad night for Silva. Not only does he lose his belt, he loses it to a blown up middleweight. Henderson now is the first to hold two titles in two weight classes. What's up with Silva now is any one's guess. We might see Shogun going after the title next. Who knows.
