- HAS THE UFC FINALLY BOUGHT PRIDE? Tuesday, March 20, 2007 - by Ken Pishna - MMAWeekly.com |
 PRIDE For Sale? What We Know Options:  Email Article |  Printer FriendlyMarch 20, 2007 by Greg Savage and Josh Gross After the Sherdog Radio Network broached the subject Monday morning, the mixed martial arts world reacted strongly to rumors of an impending sale of PRIDE FC to Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta for an estimated $65 million. While the Fertittas, Zuffa and UFC have remained silent, PRIDE USA vice president Jerry Millen offered a strong denial of the sale to graciefighter.com early Tuesday morning. "You can't beleive [sic] what you read on the Internet and as a matter of fact I just got off the phone with Japan and PRIDE has not been sold and is not being sold to anyone, especially to Zuffa," Millen exclaimed. "We are in the process of making some ground breaking deals that will be bringing in large sums of revenue to the company and making it stronger than ever." |

He was lying through his teeth, yet sherdog printed that like it was solid.
MMA weekly is more accurate than most other online MMA news sources, and even say outright if they quote a doubtful source that it is in fact a questionable source. |

I'm not off on a challenge, and I'm not trying to defend MMA weekly. This is just pure conversation about the rankings ... |
