Pride 23 - Chaos 2- Thoughts

Japan

Should Saku be fighting so soon?

We don't think so. Saku  should wait until he is fully recovered and back in shape.  We will see If his old Injuries get in the way as they have in the past.

Will they ever let Don Frye retire? No, he is to good of a fighter and puts on a great show. 

Can Randleman finish this opponent? We think he can if he does a couple of slams before he goes into the ground and pound mode.

Can "Ninja" win over Arona the same way he won over Sperry?  We don't think so. Arona will keep up with "Ninja" and probably show him a trick or two.

Semmy Schilt  - what can we say - a little outclassed in the submission game and probably in the stand up game as well. Don't get us wrong, Schilt still has a chance but our money would go on Noguiera.  After all, Noguiera took on on someone a lot bigger in Bob Sapp and won.  Schilt  will need to catch him with a jab/right and then a left hook right on the money to knock him out. The odds are against Schilt.
