Was Pride REALLY better?

Didn’t they all come to the UFC and lose LOL?

Pride better because of the ruleset. Kicks, stomps, and knees to the heads of grounded opponents are my jam.

Also, the flagrant steroid usage was pretty sweet.

Exactly what Dark Doug said. Word for word.

Plus Yuji Shimada. Man would let people die in there if he was allowed to.

Mark hunt did pretty good, spider silva of course did well. A lot of them had fought some goddamn wars in pride and of course faced a little more strict drug testing. Not that they couldnt have passed but pride was just lettin it fly. Good times.

Watching Cro Cop and Fedor and Sakuraba (and many others) smash in Pride was better than the shit in UFC these days.

The roster was amazing, the crowd was respectable but the boxing ring was beyond stupid.
