Agree with everything above about the ring vs. octagon.
At the same time, the UFC has a definite advantage with matchups, and amount of elite fighters.
Also, some of the Pride rules like kicks to a downed opponent, or knees to the head would HEAVILY favor guys like GSP, and a lot of wrestlers in the UFC.
Jon Jones with knees to the head, and kicks to a grounded opponent wouldn't even be fair. Same goes for GSP.

The only thing about Pride was their wasn't any elbows and it was run by the mafia so a few things were probably fixed.
Would be hilarious if Dana White was behind the banning of Olympic wrestling to stop the lnpers haha

Man how I miss the old Rampage who didn't give a fuuuuuuuccckkkk. I know prime Rampage in the UFC has the best chance against Wandy & Shogun when he became a counter puncher but man I just miss him coming out swinging and slamming everybody they tried to clinch him.
Cro Cop too was so so so sad. I wish we would have got Fedor & Big Nog vs Cro Cop 2 after he won the 06 GP in PRIDE. He was damn near unstoppable in that tournament. Then that head kick had to ruin him....
People can talk about PRIDE guys failing when they went to the UFC all the want. Anderson was a journeyman in PRIDE, came to the UFC and became the greatest ever.

Agree with this topic. I hope another promotion with more exciting fights, great commentary and production values, with similar rules and no fixed fights this time comes along, a promotion with some balls that's all about exciting fights and not so damn corporate.
