What if Pride sent Fighters over to the UFC?

I read the interview last week and found myself believing the statements Pride's owners gave.
Think about it; most, if not all UFC champions would be absolutely obliterated by their Pride counterparts. Fedor would destroy Arlovski, Silva would kill Liddell, Shogun could cut weight and would probably triumph over Franklin, and BJ Penn would stop Matt Hughes a second time.
For that matter, even Pride's second rate combatants would make a significant impact in the UFC, maybe even snatching several titles.
At a time when the UFC is garnering a lot of mainstream media attention, having their top marketable stars slaughtered by Pride fighters is simply bad business.
Dana White has worked hard to build up several stars, and whether it be releasing Matt Lindland or not bringing over Rampage, he won't jeapordize that under any circumstances.
