Twizted Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Fedor= Lost 2 in a row Shogun= 3-3 fighter Wand= Middle of the road at best in MW Dan Henderson= SF, enough said. CroCop= Big Nog= Walking Zombie Little Nog= Will never contend at LHW. Should have lost to Brilz on 1-2 weeks notice. Rampage= Lazy, can't get past Rashad no way no how. Believe it people. No steroids or fixed fights in America will do wonders to a "Pride legend" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKN_TTK Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Anderson? And Hendo went voluntarily. BTW, nice list, many of the best fighters on the planet. To hate pride is to hate MMA, trendy little ******. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team_spahr Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I love this pride talk. I miss it Look who was the champ when pride was on its last legs HW= Tim Sylvia/Arlovski LHW= Ortiz/Liddell MW= Bustamante/Tanner WW= Hughes LW= Pulver/Sherk I love how people do stupid comparisons too, like Prides Fedor to UFCs Velasquez.(or other newer fighters). Velasquez got his first mma fight 1 year before pride was sold. Pride>UFC, Get over it. (EDIT): got some #s wrong. I was doing it off my head, and i thought pride finished in early 06', and got some champs wrong...fixed now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedor, Wand? and numerous others. Also don't even get me started on how MMA would have never been legitimized with the Yakuza running Pride. Get over it gentlemen. Pride was an eye sore at best. It padded alot of "so called" greats and it padded some Japanese book makers pockets. Nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to most of the fighters they were. I am glad it's gone though so the sport can grow and Pride can just be an after thought of when MMA was a ****ing joke.

I love how people adjust things to try and serve their personal opinion. I'm on pins and needles awaiting your personal research of every fighters take on pride. No doubt you must have hours and hours of interviews and notebooks full of information.....that will never be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
