I think that IF some of the PRIDE FC fighters were in the UFC today. I think that the UFC would of canned them. If you notice that PRIDE FC gives fighters more chances, even though they don't have a winning record in PRIDE FC. Seems like If you have a lossing record in the UFC now-a-days, they drop you (examples: Trigg is 2-3 in the UFC, Lytle is 2-4 in the UFC) and they say things like "You have to have to win a fight or two to get back in the UFC."
I don't care IF the fighter has a winning record or a lossing record in the PRIDE or UFC, as logn as they give a good fight and it's exciting, I'm all for it.
