Hard to watch.

Shogun has been in way too many wars.

Their tournaments were pure gold.

Yes, as were their fights and roster.

Pride was hands down the best company in their prime

Well said. Pride> UFC

Sakuraba.....what a legend. Beats Royce Gracie in a 90 minute match then goes on to fight an absolute killer in Vovcynchen.

Minowaman.

The Last Emperor


Just too.

Pain is temporary......Pride is forever

Agreed. Not only is there Rizin today, which is run by Pride owners, but I like One, which has the best rules IMO. They took the Pride rules and improved on them, taking away stomps, but still allowing kicks to an opponent anywhere on the ground and elbows on the ground, which Pride didn't allow, so it seems to even things up a little more for strikers.

And I don't imagine Shogun believes this anymore after his last fight.

Gracie's match backfired. He wanted no time limit.

Yep and Sakuraba beat bigger skilled opponents in Pride at times. I rate him 4 or 5 all time. He beat Royce, Renzo, Royler and Ryan before losing a 3 round rematch to Royce and then to Ralek by UD
