Roids in PRIDE AND UFC - How Many Were/Are Doping, Worst Offenders, Who is Clean?

I like PRIDE. I've made an effort to watch quite a few of their fights, and now I'm starting to watch a few of their full events.

My issues with PRIDE itself are simple, and legit.

* Don't like the ring for MMA, prefer a cage.

* Don't like stomps and soccer kicks in a sporting contest.

* Don't like refs with earpieces or Mafia control of the organization.

* Don't like the fighters being roided out of their skulls.

What do I like about PRIDE?

* Had unquestionably the best talent at the time.

* Like the walk-ins and the ceremony at the start of the card.

* Love the stacked cards.

* Like Bas and the other guy.

* Enjoy the more epic feel. Like a fighting mythology is being created one event at a time.



But most importantly, I hate PRIDE fanboys. Assholes who act like PRIDE was and will forever be the greatest thing in MMA history, like all its champions would wipe out any Zuffa champions, and like it collapsed mysteriously instead of because it was too crooked and corrupt to survive.

PRIDE is good, but it had its faults and some of them were very serious, to the extent that they turned out to be fatal. Same as UFC is good, but it has its faults. But PRIDE fanbodys suck, just the same as UFC fanboys who have no appreciation for Fedor and co suck. And people who claim to be MMA experts but in reality just praise PRIDE to the skies and ignore all its massive faults while trashing Zuffa at all turns are wankers, plain and simple. :good
