pride is deeper than ufc in the NUMBER of fighters. if your talking quality, ufc is still untouched. silva is a great fighter and not taking anything away from him, pride and ufc are way too different. skills aside there will be five minute rounds so if silva paces himself like they usually do in pride he loses round1. chuck is alot more comfortable backing up people into the cage and using it to his advantage (stoping silvas takedowns). if it goes to a decision silva will have to blow chuck away to get it. we all know how the judges are. theyre both great but its stacked up for chuck to be the favorite. plus its been years since chuck got taken down hes the champ for a reason
