WOW PRIDE 3 is really long!!


I had no idea!


whoever this comentator is (not Bas) he really sucks.

(if i can't say that lemme know i will edit.)

hmm.. i though bas was the comentator... i think he is on mine

I have only seen the japanese versions of Prides 1-5

Pride 3 has Newton Sak does it not? That makes the whole card...very good match up. It is just what Sak needs now is a fight with a guy of similar size who isn't going to try and smash his head off his shoulders, but will roll with him.

yeah thats the one.

no Bas is fine its the other guy that sucks.

What did you think of the card?

I thought newton sak was great and the rest was REALLY REALLY slow.

The early Prides were a bit like that. One or two very good matches, and a few not so good ones.

Pride 1 for instance had Rickson v Takada I, which wasn't a good fight for any other reason than it had Rickson in it, and Renzo v Akira Shoji which was actually a pretty good fight...but also had Dan Severn v Kimo and Nathan JOnes v Big ex Sumo Japanese guy whose name escapes me, which were both pretty ordinary fights...

You want long? Try Pride 2. That one had a 33 minute Royler Gracie vs Yuhi Sano fight, AND a 52 minute Sanae Kikuta vs Renzo Gracie fight. And the Kikuta fight was soooo dull. Pride 2 has gotta be the longest one besides the Grand Prix. To be honest, I didn't think #3 was that long. Pride 12 has gotta be longer as well.

Koji Kitao was his name. That fight was a work, sadly.

And you're forgetting that Pride 1 had a brutal fight between Oleg Taktarov and Gary Goodridge. Goodridge's KO of Oleg has to be one of the most brutal of all time.

If that fight was a work, they shouldn't have bothered...it was pretty poor.

That Oleg/Goodridge fight is pretty sickening...almost hard to watch Oleg trying to fight stand up, why he didn't try to take iot to the mat is a mystery

Yeah, I never got that. Oleg definitly had the WRONG game plan in that one. He was just lucky that he has a good chin, cause he would have been KOed long before then had he had a normal chin.
