This is the worst MMA show I've ever seen on PPV.
1) All the fighters are outta shape.
2) This announcer sucks
3) The production is piss poor.
4) Did I see someone wearing a mask? ha.
I could go on and on..
Why did they even put this show on? If I was a new viewer and purchased this, I'd never watch MMA again.
The lineup for this one was so bad I didn't even order it - first time ever. I'll be content to read about the fights on the UG. Hopefully it's just a lull before the HW Grand Prix.
Good choice.
I'm with Gumper. This is the first time I wasn't even tempted to order the PPV, and didn't bother at all to avoid finding results.
I broke down and ordered it. It was one of the worst Pride's ever.
The production value was still far above anything the UFC has ever done. Many of the fights were lackluster and the announcing did suck. Bas is entertaining but once again his partner blew. Just be thankful Damon Perry is gone.
The styles just clashed in this event. How LA Giant and Dos Caras got in this event is beyond me. The Japanese fans just like pro-wrestling and freak shows I guess.
Great production, shit fights !!!!!!
Suckfest. But for all the great Prides I am willing to ride out this one. The thing about Pride is you will have the best guys on Earth but also a few who couldn't cut it in KOTC. The overall physical fitness in this show did look particularly piss poor, now that you mention it.
This and pride 18 are atop my worst pride list. Notice the trend here? Both took place in osaka jo hall.
The hall holds 13000 for this pride event, they put no effort into this show and basically put people on who were willing to fight for almost nothing.

Agreed, esp with the first sentence....although I thought the announcer wasn't *that* bad, but that is in comparision to the guy he replaced, who was just barely better than, say, Eddie Bravo.
This was by far the worst Pride in a long, long time. I can't believe I just paid money to watch that crap. Hopefully the next Pride will be a LOT better than the garbage I watched tonight.
According to the UG, every Pride is either the best or worst ever.
It wasn't that great, but certainly not the worst
ever. Some of the fights were good. But they clearly
put little effort into this show.
The new announcer is very professional. I hope they
keep him and get rid of Perry.
