Cool. I don't know much about the business side of things.

Some cross promo events would be cool. Like when Dana took Chuck to one of the Pride Grand Prix events. Didn't work out like he planned though.

Was there any real negative effects on the UFC when Chuck got ground n' pounded out by Rampage in another Promotions event? I know the UFC wasn't as big then as it is now.

Not really. It actually worked out well for UFC. He went 2-1 when he was in Pride. Rampage was young and very strong (steroids) at the time and he was nailing everyone during that stretch. Chuck did KO Guy Mezgar and Overeem before losing to Rampage.

What do you guys think of the Vera/Couture bout? My gut tells me Couture is too much of a strategist to be overcome by Vera, but that's also what I thought right before the Nog fight...
