Debating UFC vs. Pride is like arguing American league vs National league. IT'S THE SAME SPORT!! Yes, there are differences, but they are two sides of the same coin. Let the fighters fight, let the fans enjoy.
But its obvious they were at least equal. I mean how many marquee matchups were there in the last year that did not include former pride fighters. My nuthugging for pride comes from the fact of watching it on FSN. I feel like that show was written for new fans to the sport.

It seemed like UFC and PRIDE FC unifying would have been the best thing ever at the time but now looking back I miss having two opposing organizations, 2 different sets of rules, and 2 unique environments. It was like Fire and Ice. 2 completely different organizations striving to become the best in the business and now the UFC is top of the food chain and know it. They can run their organization however they want and do things the fans dont necessarily wnat them to do, because now there is no one to steal the show from them.

Awsome post, there is no one to challenge them and they can do whatever they want. Including crappy title matches

PRIDE will probably always be my favirote ORG.
The way they set everything up was amazing,and i still believe to this day they had the most exciting,and most significant fights for the sport of MMA.

I just hope that someone is able to start a decent organization that respects the fighters. Affliction is a good start but they need more weight classes.
