But, I think that the bottom line now is that all of these guys are now UFC fighters. PRIDE Fighting is gone. As the months and years pass, the PRIDE fighters will have a lot of UFC fights.

I hardly think it was as impressive of a win as Randy's. Impressive, but till the point of the submission, Nog was getting thumped. Randy dominated Tim for five rounds. Dominated. I personally thought that was one of the most impressive wins I've seen in mma...given how Randy was such an underdog and how he dominated the fight standing and on the ground. Good points though.
