I still want to believe in Pride because I am not sure if I want to continue to see white wrestlers elbowing their way to belts. Nothing wrong with it, but I like the Japanese shooto style more.

The recaps are so in-depth it's rediculous. A PRIDE event happens, and what do they talk about? "DEATH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATCHHHH!! Can you believe they're almost DEAD?!?" What about CroCop beating Wanderlei and Barnett in the same night to capture the Opeweight GP Tournament? What about Nogueira being upset by Barnett? Nope...barely a word. Just commentary about how the promotion is running out of money and has no TV deal. When I was watching CroCop high-kicking Wanderlei, I was jumping out of my seat with excitement...not running to my computer so I could look up financial information on the company. There is something to be said about just BEING A FAN, and enjoying the product - and not over-analyzing it to the point where you can't even have fun with it anymore.

Nice site. For me, that fight might well have finished crocop. He was dominated from start to finish. Dont think it looks bad on pride though, I still think fedor would destroy anyone in the ufc.

But if someone is training 15 years with a lightsaber, they will block said laser beam and deflect it back on you, and then maul you savage, Fedor-esk ground and pound Yes…

You can train 15 years before your pro debut all you want, a laser beam to the grill is still a laser beam to the grill. “Jet packs and laser beams do not have a thing on that.”

Imagine the over-obsessive dad who is grooming his son to be the best damn fighter there is. This happens in football and wrestling all the time...just imagine when it starts happening in MMA. It may not be pretty or good for kids to be pushed so hard, but just imagine what kind of beast is going to come from the crop of kids who are training fifteen years before they have their first pro fight?

Scary ain’t it?" There is nothing scary about jet packs and laser beams. “Now think what MMA will be like in another five, ten, or fifteen years?
