The fight shows that the old school pride fighters
have much more heart, they constantly go for the kill and put on the best fights ...
you will never see an ex pride fighter wrestle someone down and lay on them for 15 or 20 minutes
without inflicting damage...
Think about it
Ex Pride Fighters that fight in the UFC :
Dan Henderson
Mauricio Shogun Rua
Anderson Silva
Wanderlei Silva
Nick Diaz
Quinton Rampage Jackson
Fedor Emelienenko
Takanori Gomi
Nogueira (Big Nog)
Mirko Cro Cop
and all of the rest of the pride fighters that became ufc fighters once
zuffa/ufc bought pride
Nick Diaz is not a pride fighter
but for the most part I agree with you.
Big Nog is the epitome of heart.
fail
kingbisping - fail
No fail
Anderson Silva has never shown any heart, Chael didn't even bruise his face so I know you can't be talking about that fight as an example of heart
Nick came from pride?
I am not sure how CroCop and heart go together
Gomi?
How about Chuck Liddell, Frankie Edgar, John Fitch, Matt Hughes, Frank Mir, Dan Hardy, Nick Diaz (ufc fighter), Diego Sanchez and many more
..."I am not sure how CroCop and heart go together"
VTFD for that

LOL years later pride nuthuggers still wants to think pride was some ungodly promotion full of legendary GOATs of all weight classes.
In a sport where you see people every day show a tremendous amount of mental strength and "heart" you think an old defunkt league is where the most heart comes from. Shogun tapped to strikes from Jones. You seriously think they have more heart? Seriously? ...
Seriously?
Want to see heart go watch forest and bonnar go at it again, pride was even around back then.
Can we not just say that Shogun has mad heart. I love pride as much as anyone but do we always have to associate a good performance from a former pride fighter with pride?
ChokeEmOut - Why try to sneak Diaz in? lol
But yes I would agree, they all have a different mindset towards a fight. They actually fight.
14–6 (1) | Takanori Gomi | No Decision (overturned by NSAC) | Pride 33 | February 24, 2007 | 2 | 1:46 | Las Vegas, Nevada, United States | Original win by submission (gogoplata); overturned after Diaz tested positive for marijuana in post-fight drug test |

Hmmm can't think of a single non Pride fighter with tons of heart? GTFO

Griffin taps to strikes like it's his job lol. He's probably the easiest fighter to put away with GnP.

forrest has tapped to strikes like 4 different fights what the fuck are you talking about
Shogun tapped to jones.
Stop taking credit away from the fighters, its the men who go out there and leave everything who deserve the glory. A good fight is a good fight no matter what organization. Besides no fighter has a bigger heart than Hong Man Choi..literally he has the biggest heart

You say Anderson has never shown any heart. To get dominated for 4.5 rounds then comeback in the fifth and win by submission. Just that fact that he hanged in there shows Hart. He could of easily gave up.
wanderlei and big nog proved this long ago
You're a troll.
An organization doesn't give a fighter more heart - that's ridiculous. Guys like Forrest, Guida, and Edgar have stood in there and sustained beatings just as bad and persevered, while putting on incredibly entertaining fights. Additionally, some of the guys you've listed have demonstrated the exact opposite of your claims.
This PRIDE > UFC argument has been played out so many times it's ridiculous. The only way such an argument can be legitimately measured is by looking at their business model... and the UFC won. Move on.
