If the UFC 62 card left a bad taste in your mouth, look no further. Pride Bushido’s ‘Survival” is packed with MMA veterans going head to head. It’s the perfect way to forget the fact that just last night, you spent your hard-earned money to watch an event that was mostly put together using fighters recruited from events called “Battle in the Barn” and “Farm Fights”. Also, it shows what you can do when you pay top dollar for top fighters instead of getting third rate bar-brawlers who will fight anyone for a pack of cigarettes. |
