A look at the UFC & Pride Rosters

Underground
1

PRIDE: Fedor, Big Noguiera, Barnett, Aleks, Sergei, Hunt, Werdum, Hong
Man Choi, Fujita, Edson Drago, Einemo, Randleman, Wanderlei, Shogun,
Arona, Lil Nog, Overeem, Cyborg, Yoshida, Belfort, Henderson, Kang,
Misaki, Bustamante, Gomi, Kawajiri, Mach, Hansen, Shinya Aoki, Melendez

UFC: Crocop*, Sylvia, Arlovski, Vera, Herring*, Kongo, PeDePano, Monson,
Chuck, Tito, Babalu, Rampage*, Bisping, Forrest, Lindland*, Anderson
Silva, Franklin, Marquardt, Lister, Hughes, GSP, BJ Penn, Diego, Kos,
Mayhem*, Serra, Sherk, KenFlo, Stevenson, Hominick

I'd still give the edge to Pride in overall talent, but UFC is coming pretty
damn close. It should be an exciting 2007.

Sorry I didn't include everyone, but those were just names that came off
the top of my head...

Feel free to add your own.

Pride won`t even be here after 2007. Just wait.

That would be a shame

A couple of good fighters moving to the UFC to bolster HW and 185 divisions balances things a bit.

They now both have great matchups in every division.

On the whole I prefer Pride rules and the ring however there is something about UFC production that I feel edges Pride.

I would be very upset if I could only watch one of these productions. I am happy that we have both!
