K-1 Heroes. The new pride?

K-1 Hero's is quickly establishing itself as the new rival to the UFC. With pride being bought and its inevitable death having already taken place, it only makes sense that a competitor would come along. With a talent pool that is gaining depth, they offer A-Class fighters such as Sakuraba, Royler Gracie, Caol Uno, Melvin Manhoeff, Alistair Overeem, Segei Kharitonov, Gesias Calvancanti, Yoshihiro Akiyama, and very importantly the addition of Denis Kang.

Ever since Gesias Calvancanti recently called out the (then reigning) pride lightweight champ Takanori Gomi , an enormous buzz has been created. Assuming Gomi switches to K-1, i feel that new discussion war will be started. MMA history is going to repeat itself, and Hero's will become the new pride. Get ready to wonder who has the best fighters all over again.

UFC or Hero's?
