TAPE 637

Quality: EX (*MASTER*)

Length: 2.8 hrs (DVD)

PRIDE BUSHIDO 2 - 2/15/04 (The second of Pride's "second-tier" shows designed to showcase 
	"up-and-coming fighters".  Good stuff, but nothing spectactular.  This is the US version
	of the show, so all commentary is in English.  I've got a DVD master, so VQ is perfect.)

	Yusuke Imamura vs Choi Mu Bae
	Ryuta Sakurai vs Yushin Okami
	Yasuhito Namekawa vs Egidijus Valabicius (Super-fast chokeout in this one; For this show,
		Pride uses a really hard-to-read on-screen font for fighters' names, making it 
		basically impossible to figure out Valabicius's name without seeing it elsewhere.)
	Ryuki Ueyama vs Sean Sherk (Ranallo on commentary busts out a Gordon Solie reference!)
	Mario Sperry vs Mike Bencic (Don't blink or you'll miss the KO!)
	Daiju Takase vs Chris Brennan (After all kinds of hype coming in, Brennan gets dominated
		big-time in this one.)
	Rodrigo Gracie vs Hayato Sakurai
	Mirko CroCop Filipovic vs Yoshihisa Yamamoto (Early in the fight, Yamamoto taunts CroCop
		by smiling and laughing as if CroCop's kicks don't hurt.  Hooooo boy, does he 
		pay for that!  Right now, CroCop might be my favorite fighter.  He's super intense
		in the ring and he's classy too.  After this fight, he gives a real nice promo
		for the upcoming GP tourney.)
	Jadson Costa vs Takanori Gomi
	Mauricia Shogun Rua vs Akihiro Gono
	Vanderlei Silva vs Ikuhisa Minowa (You don't often see guys get KTFO from the guard...)
