It’s not exactly the return of PRIDE, but July 23 will represent the return of PRIDE rules.
Colosseo Championship Fighting is set to host its first event this
summer at a venue yet to be determined, and the promotion recently
released the evening’s nine-fight lineup.
Occupying the headline slot are UFC and PRIDE vet Gilbert Yvel and former King of the Cage dual-division champion Tony Lopez,
who will each have soccer kicks, and stomps at their disposal under a
set of policies promoter Pasqualino Santoro has dubbed “international
rules.”
