Dear Pride Fighting Championships,
Please stop allowing your champions to participate in non-title fights outside of grand prix tournaments.
It was recently announced that Takanori Gomi will be fighting Mitsuhiro Ishida at Shockwave 2006 in what will be Gomi's third non-title fight in 8 months. This is unacceptable to the fans and an insult to both fighters.
If a competitor is not worthy of a title shot, then he should not be facing the champion in the first place.
Thank you for your time.
