No surprise. Gates were down and TV ratings were not great. The fight industry is at a real low but new japan pro wrestling remains #1 in Japan!!!
Idiot. You're the equivalent of a Turkey voting for Christmas. Japan the home of martial arts is witnessing the demise of JMMA and you think that's a good thing?!?! Typical UFC Dumbass. And newsflash DREAM was in **** creek since last year. DREAM haven't hosted an event in months. When Puji capital came on board as an investor it became clear DREAM was finished. Old news. Nothing to see here.
They killed pride. Took away A dream. but there is still One.ONE FC where the majority of Dream roster will sign.
Sucks, I honestly had my hopes up that it would be the successor to PRIDE. I don't know much about DEEP, but according to the MMA forums, they're really the only last big MMA org in Japan. I really do hope that ONE steps up as I'd hate to see MMA die in Japan.
Just in case, why don't UFC just revive pride and keep it alive as they do with strikeforce and keep it as an asian circuit.
Been expecting this to happen for a good few months. They've came close to dying off a few times but this looks to be it.
