The following are a few notes from the Dana White/Mirko CroCop conference call held today. These notes are only that of which involves PRIDE's future under the Zuffa ownership:
-Dan Henderson will not be stripped of his titles, but they don't know how they're going to handle him being a champion in two divisions actively, yet.
-Mauricio "Shogun" Rua will not be moving over to the UFC side. He will remain a PRIDE fighter.
-There won't be anymore Super Heavyweight matches, freak-show matches or huge mismatches anymore.
-Frank Trigg is gone. He won't be an announcer for PRIDE anymore. They are still looking for a new broadcast team.
-Doesn't know what's going on with Gary (Jerry) Millen or how he will be handled.
-Feels Josh Barnett doesn't like him, as he's alluded to in the media, but still wants him to fight for the new PRIDE.
