    Sakuraba vs Vernon White & Lil Nog were good fights too.

    Shogun vs Overeem I & Lil Nog too.

    Watching any of the tournaments all the way through is extremely rewarding. Each one featured some classic battles.

    Of the fights not mentioned - there are a few I can think of:

    Wanderlai Silva vs Guy Mezger
    Chuck Liddell vs Guy Mezger
    Anderson Silva vs Carlos Newton
    Royce Gracie vs Sakuraba
    Igor Voychanchan (sp) vs Mark Kerr I and II

    Although they've already been mentioned - I always thought the Wanderlai Silva vs Rampage Jackson fights were the pinnacle of ferocity in the Pride ring.

    I remember that fight, That fight should of ended 2 minutes earlier. Enson Inoue was pretty much out cold in the middle of the round and the ref literally drags him to the middle of the ring to keep fighting. **** I miss the Pride FC rules, fights always ended in spectacular fashion.

    Straight up. PRIDE rules kicked ass. Foot stomps soccer kicks knee's to a downed opponent n elbows on the mat etc.

  10. Crazy **** right there.

    I hated UFC for killing pride. The steroids and all the rest of it sort of made it ridiculous but great fights in a truly great fighting arena.

    Get all of them while you can. They'll be very rare in years to come.

    Great memories. 2005 was a good year to check out.
