Makoto Takimoto the 81kg Sydney Olympics Gold Medalist will compete in Pride NYE. He stated that he would like to fight a "non-Judo opponent". Takada said that he is looking for a fighter to face Takimoto. He asked the fighters on the Pride rosters to speak up if they wish to challenge Takimoto.

I think Makoto will make a great addition to the Pride roster, however i'm still awaiting for Pride to sign the BEST: 3 time Olympic Gold Medalist "Nomura Tadahiro"!
