    Me and you both. The UFC cant hold a candle to PRIDE and they know it. The camarade was sooo much stronger in PRIDE.

    Those were the days. Mirko was DSE's boy. They wanted him to beat Fedor and make Mirko the 'Ace' of the company.

    Pride was one dodgy company but they did really put on a show. Nobody can do it like they did it.

    Because the UFC has greater appeal for rednecks who love nothing more than to "wrastle" and drink beer. There two entirely diffrent products with very little in common.

    Pride was born out Pro-wrestling (UWFI). Pride was more than just 2 fighters in the ring. It was a spectacle with no expense spared to produce the greatest show.

    forgive my laziness,

    so how was it, was it a beating? domination?

    i remember crocop everytime he fights, someone's head is going to fly, hahaha. i remember noguera and crocop dominating that time (i haven't watched fedor that time)

    crocop's fight against wanderlei, if i remember it right, ended up with a draw (strange rules by pride, but extremely good). but the one thing that sitcked to my mind was when crocop finally connected with a shot to the thorax. the area, and i mean a big area turned balck and blue
