Hisa-san has there been any news on the last two fights yet to be announced? I know i've been hearing Guy Mezger will be competing but it's not confirmed.

[Hisaharu Tanabe]

Nah.. Not as of today.

[lCS 39]

ah...I really hope they announce a match soon hehe, I always get eager to see the full PRIDE event card when it gets nearer, so far all the matches seem solid, but i'm really looking forward to PRIDE 20 with the Pancrase fighters involved.
