    which established 'pride' fighters made a good transition to the ufc? unfortunately my favourite fighter[cro cop] definitely hasn't.
    have most ex-pride fighter faired like mirko or have there been a lot of success stories?

    I think Rampage and Shogun are doing pretty well, but the most succesful fighter who was in Pride is without a doubt Anderson Silva

    Anderson Silva
    Rampage is doing well
    Shogun would have been a beast if it wasn't for those injuries

    Overeem is doing well, now that ufc bought strikeforce maybe we could see overeem fight the ufc champion.

    Then you would have seen Chuck walk to the ring with a UFC T-Shirt on, to the UFC theme song, whilst Mauro & Bas were saying he was a representative of the UFC sent over by Dana White, with Dana White in the commentary booth for the entire fight saying he sent Chuck over to represent the UFC in the GP to prove UFC fighters can hang tough with the PRIDE roster?

    Rampage is 7-2 and ended Chuck's title reign.
    Anderson isn't a Pride fighter. He only fought there 3 or 4 times.
