3) Doubts over how soon he would have had a rematch with Fedor what with fedor taking fight in russia. If he gets injured ( his right hand has not been 100% for a while) it would have been pushed back even further. Some have said he was avoiding fedor but I don't believe that for a second
4) Pride's future a bit clouded. Plus they are disorganised what with non title fights, etc
1-3, no doubt played a factor, but I think the key issue right now is Pride's inability to generate TV revenues.
