What are some of your dream matchups in Pride that never happened? Mine was always Wanderlei vs. Igor V. I think Igor’s power might have been too much for Wand, but Wand’s chin was much better in Pride.
What about you?

Wand v Lil Nog
Ryan would probably be ideal but Royce in mma would have been awesome.
Also Bas vs Wand

Because Fedor was nearing the end of his peak in Affliction, or because Barnett had the tools?
Also, CroCop vs. Shogun would have been epic. Though I think CC might have been a bit too big for Shogun.

Pele vs Mario Sperry. Both guys were the old generals of their respected rival camps.

I think Saku was scared of Henderson. He wouldn’t duck him but he was not eager to fight him
