PRIDE OPEN WEIGHT GP 2006 1ST ROUND - 5/5/06 (Going back to the format of their first GP,
	Pride brings us their first open weight tourney in 6 years.  This is a good show but the
	"open weight" title is a bit misleading, since every guy except two are heavyweights.
	I've got a master of the US PPV, so VQ is EX.)
	
	Roman Zentsov vs Gilbert Yvel (Wow!  HUGE KO in this one.)
	Alistair Overeem vs Fabricio Werdum (Werdum hands Overeem his first-ever submission loss)
	TSUYOSHI KOHSAKA VS MARK HUNT (Tremendous all-out brawl.  Kohsaka completely forsakes his
		grappling skills and just goes toe-to-toe with Hunt - and he hangs in there, tagging
		Hunt multiple times.  Terrific fight.)
	Josh Barnett vs Alexander Emelianenko
	James Thomson vs Kazayuki Fujita (VERY cool moment where Thomson gets punched and - splat! - 
		a BIG glob of blood hits the camera.  Almost looks like a paintball!)
	Mirko Filipovic vs Ikuhisa Minowa (Minowa - the only non-heavyweight - gets crushed)
	Antonio Nogueira vs Zuluzinho (Good thing for Zuluzinho that he's enormous or he'd never get
		another fight.  He SUCKS.)
	Hidehiko Yoshida vs Yosuke Nishijima
