Fighters and organizers are interviewed following the Pride 33 event with Jerry Millen, Pride FC U.S. promoter. Interviews with Dream Stage Entertainment & Pride FC President, Nobuyuki Sakakibara questioned about whether Pride is for sale and whether there will be a rematch between Gomi and Diaz and Shogun Rua wanting Hendo's new belt.
All in all, the Pride 33 post press conference seemed to be a very somber one as it appears that most in attendance, including the fans, did not expect the outcome of some of their key match-ups in particular, Lil Nog, Wanderlei and Takanori Gomi.
Pride just had its prized fighters in Gomi, Nogueira and Wanderlei Silva BEATEN on foreign soil. This is the worst possible outcome for this famed MMA organization and now they have to lick their wounds, regroup and try to come back to the U.S. again on April 28 in Las Vegas. This isn't any different than the UFC going to Japan and witnessing Sean Sherk and Chuck Liddell losing away from home.
