Best Pride/UFC Events

After Pride 33 (which was much better than UFC 33 lol) and UFC 68, which were 2 GREAT events, it got me thinking about other really good events these promotions have put on throughout the years. Here are some of my favorite Pride/UFC events:

UFC:

UFC 13 (Debut of both Ortiz and Couture, Enson Inoue. Belfort vs Tank)

UFC 17 (Liddel Debut, Frankie/Horn, Hendo/Newton, Williams KTFO Coleman)

UFC 28 (Couture/Randleman, Babalu/Mo, Barnett/McGee, Arlovski/Brink, Pulver/Lewis, Lytle/Earwood, Mark Hughes/Steibling)

UFC 30 (Ortiz/Tanner, Uno/Pulver, RIZZO/BARNETT, Elvis taps Horn)

UFC 31 (One of the best ever...the war between Couture/Rizzo, Newton upsets Miletich for the WW title, Schilt debuts over Williams, Liddel KO's Randleman, BJ Penn debut, the Serra/Carter rollercoaster)

UFC 34 (Rizzo/Couture II, Hughes/Newton I, Penn/Uno I lasts 11 secs, Rizzo/Williams, Barnett/Hoffman, Lindland/Baroni I)

UFC 40 (Much anticipated Ortiz/Shammy I, war between Weir and Miller, Lawler wins by "cut" over Tiki, Liddel/Babalu I, Arlovski/Freeman)

UFC 43 (Couture/Liddel I, Belfort/Eastman, Rizzo/Telligman)

Pride:

Total Elimination 2003 (Liddel/Overeem, Rampage/Busta, Ricco/Nog, CroCop/Vov, Silva/Sak III)

Final Conflict 2003 (Liddel/Rampage, Silva/Yoshida, Silva/Rampage I, Hendo/Busta I, Nog/CroCop, Randleman/Sak


You may notice I'm biased towards Coutures fights, also the 30's were the best UFC's (aside from 33). I wanted to put almost all the cards from the 30's on my list but I kept it short. Pride has had a lot of good cards, but when I think the "best" Pride cards, I think the LHW tourney in '03.
