Click here for news article.

He also says in it that Chuck's next opponent will more than likely be Wanderlei Silva. At this point, should we just include all of Pride's fighters on the roster?
Right, but until he makes a specific comment about a particular fighter or schedules them in an actual fight, they are ineligible for the rankings. Even though White says they're taking over all of the contracts, there's also great speculation that many of those contracts are now in dispute. If true, that may take a many months to resolve. For now, the only PRIDE fighters are included are those scheduled (Noguiera) and those recently signed (Rua and Henderson).
