Huge MMA fan and practioner here. I don't limit myself to only the UFC. PrideFC is my favorite of all time for obvious reasons. Anyways, these are some the biggest events in the USA in the month of September and I will be discussing them accordingly.

9-1-07
Art of War 3
Dallas, TX (So pissed i had to miss this. only event in Dallas.)

KEY FIGHTS:
Jeff Monson (UFC, Pride) vs Pedro Rizzo (UFC)- I pick Monson.
Jeremy Horn (UFC) vs Jorge Santiago (UFC)-Gumby will win. This will be fight #100 for Horn and what better way than a win.
Keith Wisniewski vs Carlo Prater- Keith has already beaten Prater twice.
Ron Waterman (Pride) vs Mario Rinaldi- Waterman.

There's a lot of undercard and small fights, and i really don't feel like listing them lol.

So when are these fights dude? have they passed over the weekend?

Rizzo?!?! I didn't know he still fough? he was one of my favs, but its seems years ago since he last fought in UFC. is this a PRIDE fight?

No, it's in the organization called "Art of War". the events (they've only had 3 sofar) are usually in Dallas, TX and that fight was for the heavyweight title. it took place 9/1/07.


Rizzo stopped Monson in the 3rd round and the biggest upset of the year took place in Jorge Santiago submitting Jeremy Horn in Gumby's 100th fight. i al most pissed my pants. WEC 30 will be this wed.

Edit: as far as PrideFC goes, it's dead. Zuffa bought it out a few months ago and said they would maintain it in Japan, then they said they would only use it for grand prix's and tournaments and whatever. well after jacking all of PRIDE's best fighters, Zuffa just recently said the organization is dead.

It turned out Prides former owners, Dreamstage Ent. had TONS of managment issues and had ties with the Yakuza.

Interesting stuff!

Thanks for clearing that up
