イゴール・ボブチャンチン
Bobish returned at PRIDE 27 against feared Ukrainian striker Igor Vovchanchyn. The American scored an early takedown and mounted Vovchanchyn, initially looking for a neck crank and later seeking a keylock, while applying ground and pound during the process. Eventually Vovchanchyn regained guard, and action was restarted on the feet with a yellow card for Bobish due to a lapse of inactivity. Vovchanchyn then landed multiple strikes while on the feet, but Bobish managed to take him down again and achieve north/south position, ending the round with another submission attempt. At th second, however, Vovchanchyn controlled an already visibly tired Bobish with punches and knee strikes, and ultimately dropped him and mounted him for his own ground and pound. Devoid of energy, Bobish then submitted verbally.
