I don't think any intelligent MMA fan was under the impression that Zuffa buying out PRIDE was going to be good for the sport as a whole; however, I think many of us, myself included, were at least intrigued by some of the potential match-ups - specifically at 205. Unfortunately, many of the dream match-ups we were expecting panned out to be less than expectations afforded. I think that was only compounded by the amount of attrition and non-response from other prominent fighters due to Zuffa's bully tactics. Unfortunately, I feel that many of the match-ups we were clamoring for may never occur. It's really unfortunate, IMHO.
