Tatame: Do you have any guesses for the PRIDE Heavyweight GP?

Vanderlei: I think it will be between Fedor and Minotauro. I think if everything works out well and they arrive in the finals, it would be like my fight with Jackson. It will certainly be a historic fight.

Tatame: Do you think Randleman can cause a surprise upset against Fedor?

Vanderlei: No, I don't. I don't think he will get passed Fedor unless he lands that real heavy punch he has. But Fedor won't be that silly. Cro Cop wasn't either, but fights can be strange sometimes. It may be Ogawa, who knows. But the probabilities are higher for Fedor and Minotauro. Minotauro will do a rematch with Herring, and that first fight between them was very hard. Herring has improved a lot since then, so it will be a real tough fight. I think this PRIDE GP will be real hard. That Japanese fighter (Yokoi) presented some difficulties to Minotauro. I mean it was not a big deal, but he wasn't that easy as well.

Ｖ．シウバがブラジルの雑誌　"Tatame"のインタビューを受けた記事が掲載されています。

その中でシウバはヒザのケガが完治したことを冒頭で語っています。
注目すべきはPRIDEヘビー級GPについて言及した部分で、決勝はヒョードル対ノゲイラと予想し「歴史的戦い」になるだろうと意味深な発言。２回戦ではヒョードルと対戦するランデルマンの番狂わせはないだろうとも語っています。

フジテレビは小川中心の番宣を繰り返し、高田ｻﾝも「小川が一番優勝に近い」とアオリ発言をしていますが、果たしてPRIDE/フジテレビの思惑通り事が進むかどうか？
直接 PRIDEヘビー級GPと関係ないシウバの発言だけに重みがあり、ますます週末が楽しみです!
