    Do your really have to cry everytime someone mentions UFC or TUF? :huh

    Your an elitist twat, that should just accept the once great Pride is no more, due to there own making.

    Elitist? WTF has that got to do with the price of fish? And what has PRIDE got to with anything? At least stick to the fricking topic!

    Griffin Bonnar was a bull**** ass bar room joke. End of story end of thread.

    There second bout? Hell yeah. Wandy gets KO'ed cold again. And Hendo is the only PRIDE fighter ever to hold the middleweight and welterweight titles at the same time.

    That whole post stinks of elitism. It's like you look down on the UFC, but more TUF, as it's beneath you and your view of MMA.

    That is elitism my friend!

    I used to read posts/threads on Sherdog(bad i know), but never bothered posting on there due 2 main types of people on there.
    Elitist twats who would never see anything good in anything UFC ever done/did.
    And UFC noobs who would never look at MMA other than UFC.

    I enjoy lot of MMA, be it old Pride, Dream, old Cage Rage(though not a high standard), UFC. etc..

    But i can't understand people like you, how just hate UFC no matter what.

    Anyway, i've got to go out, so i'll reply to your reply later or tomorrow. :good

    I never compared it to Castillo vs Corrales. The level of skill isn't near the level of Castillo corrales. He simply asked for a war and I gave him one simmer the **** down

    Yeah it was when PRIDE came to the USA i think. One of there final shows. Hendo hit him with a spinning back fist then KO'ed him with a huge left hook. By that time Wandy's punch resistance was gone. I think the Mark Hunt fight hand something to do with it along with the terrifying beating he took from Cro Cop.

    Alright im a PRIDE fan but most of all im a fan of MMA. I dont like the UFC's format, i dont like "their" brand of MMA, i dont like "their" promotion, and i dont like the way they treat their fighters with their pathetic wages along with the cavalier attitude as though the fighters are dispensaries. Dana is more than happy to give any fighter the boot if he doesnt make his promotion money.

    Fact of the matter is TUF champions are a bit of a joke. Just call a spade a spade instead of rankling over the point. Look what happened to Serra Griffin and Rashad. All TUF champs who got the push because of TUF. Its almost akin to what OVW does for the WWE. The fighter gets the push because he made his name on TUF nothing more. How can a guy like Griffin become the marketing face of his brand? Why? Because his popular and thats it. The TUF show is essentially a popularity contest off the back of reality TV nothing more or less. Guys like Griffin and Bonnar wouldnt have even been good enough to get a look in on a PRIDE show during its heyday. It makes a complete mockery of MMA when guys try to suggest otherwise as though Bonnar Griffin is/was the pinnacle of MMA technique. Iv seen grannies with better "bag" technique than that shambles of a bout.

    Oh i forgot watch anderson silva's fight in the ufc except his last 2 fights vs cote and leites.

    His other fights are very good especially his 2 fights with franklin and his debut vs leben.
