Folgend mal einige Comments von Fightern die bei Shockwave 2005 antretten werden, let the trash talking begin.....
Mirko Filipovic
Let me say one thing. Today's announcement took too long. Hunt, wasn't it you that called me out from the ring last year? What have you been worrying about all this time?
Wasn't it you that chased me to PRIDE, where the truly strongest fighters gather, to pay me back for Nagoya 2002?
I have no idea what you've been doing this year. I've been sweating and bleeding in the ring, constantly fighting the strongest me non-stop.
I'll show you the difference between us on December 31 st . You will regret calling me out last New Year's Eve.
I'm sure you still remember what it felt like when my left high-kick hit your neck. That won't be my only weapon this time, though.
Merry Christmas.
Mark Hunt
I'm very excited that I will be able to fight in PRIDE again after a year. And my opponent will be Mirko.
I've traded punched with him in the K-1 ring but, unfortunately, I lost by decision. This time, we will we which of us it the strongest in the PRIDE ring.
I've spent the last year preparing to fight in PRIDE and I think I will be able to give the fans my best performance.
I will just say this. I've never lost a revenge match before. I've always gotten my revenge. I will beat him so badly that he will never want to fight Mr. Hunt, the Samoan monster, again. I'm going to make minced meat of Mirko.
Wanderlei Silva
Sakuraba knows how I feel about this fight and how I have trained for this fight because he trained with me in Brazil . Sakuraba should arrive back in Japan today so please ask him. We were interviewed in Brazil by Fuji Television so take a look at that, too.
At any rate, I want to give the fans an exciting match that will make them all happy. I've trained hard with Sakuraba and Chute Boxe to get into perfect shape for that reason. Please look forward to my fight.
Ricardo Arona
I'm very happy that I have been given a chance to fight in the Middleweight Championship title match.
My dreams have become reality. My dream of fighting Silva in a title match has come true. I've trained hard for the fans. Expect a new Champion, Arona, to be born on December 31 st .
Fedor Emelianenko
I'm glad that I will be able to able to fight in front of the Japanese fans once again this New Year's Eve.
My opponent this time has a really big body but I will give a fight suitable for a Champion. Please support me.
Zulu
I'm glad to represent the Zulu family in PRIDE SHOCKWAVE. I became really excited when I heard that my opponent would be Fedor Emelianenko, the undefeated Heavyweight Champion. I think New Year's Eve will be the most blessed day of my life.
Fedor is strong but I have been training. I will show the fans that I am not “just a big fighter” but something bigger than that. I hope that Fedor will fight me like Henry Miller did, without special [4-point] rules.
