That pretty much sums up my thoughts on the UFC and PRIDE, pre and post PRIDE purchase..

Truth is, it isn't UFC > PRIDE or PRIDE > UFC..

It is UFC & PRIDE... two organizations in one sport, both having exceptional athletes and both having their own style.

It's a pointless debate because the UFC swallowed Pride and now there are no Pride Fighters. Most mainstream fans don't even really know what Pride was.

Decent article though.

i dont think either organization won, but i do miss pride. and i also think UFC's rules arent to helpful for pride fighters either. But lets take this back a bit, who remembers when ufc bought pride and said they wouldnt mess with prides organization? Who remembers the MMA superbowl event that dana promised between prides best vs ufc's best?

Dana won, and thats all there is to it. And the fans lost a great organization which imo produced better fights on a more normal basis.

PRIDE had better fighters, it is as simple as that.
