And what about the finals where a fighter had to fight two matches, determinig the winner more by luck than skill (the guy who doesn’t get injured or had an easier bracket (CroCop anyone?)).

Yeah because Wandy is just a walk in the park for anyone huh… Myth vs. Reality my ass.. Ufc is the king of the cage in the mma world and Pride was the king of the ring in the mma world.. I personally get tired of hearing about who’s better and so on.. Its 2 totally different worlds.. I personally like the “freak show” bouts.. I think it tests ones abilities even more while adding a against the grain type twist on its mma show. Sorry I guess it would have been alot more sucessful to the rest of the bar room heros if it would have had a reality show for the couch fighters to follow..

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. Anything one who disagrees with you is a worthless moronic biased idiot. It saves me the trouble of arguing with closed-minded individuals like yourself. I gotta give it to you though, you are the number #1 Pride fanboy. You should be proud of attaining that designation. *golf clap*

MMAJunkie has 5 linked up through Yahoo Sports from previous Strikeforce cards.

I am watching the Eugene Jackson fight right now. One thing I have been unimpressed with is the camera work. They are doing a very bad job following the action. The obvious issue is that there is no platform around the pentagon cage. Which means no cameramen stationed a set spots to get the best angles. not very good.

I only “lash out” at moronic, biased idiots like you – it’s a weakness really, since you’re a worthless troll. But we all have our vices, yours would be lack of intelligence

Also, who the fuck wants IFL shares as part of their package? That’s w. sauce.

Was Heder extremely underpaid? Absolutely. Did it allow him to now get big rolls in movies with big movie stars and make a lot of money now? You better believe it.

Same rules apply to Keith Jardine. That next contract he gets. Say hello to $50,000 to $100,000 per fight minimum, if not more.

“Fourteen-thousand is what he got,” said manager John Madrid. “If he’s bonused, that’s up to Dana White. We don’t expect it. If he would have lost, he really would have made only $7,000. He signed a four-year deal. Even if it was only a handshake deal, he would have accepted it because that’s the type of person he is.”

also, lol at the FoxSports article ignoring the fact that Liddell vs. Houston Alexander could have been booked for 9/22 instead of Liddell vs. Jardine

Why is Pride such a touchy subject with you? You get so defensive with it and seems to lash out at anyone being critical with it.

I admit it, UFC has problems as well. But I can admit it because the UFC isn’t this thing I place high on a pedestal. As I’ve said, I was a Pride fan well before I was even a fan of the UFC. However, I can detach myself as a fan from the object that I admire. Attacking the faults of the UFC doesn’t negate the faults of Pride.

I think we can all admit the shortcomings of Pride now since it is by and large a dead organization. By coming to terms with it, we are not diminishing the memory or glory of Pride in its heydays. If you don’t like my rambling idiocy, you can just not read it. You shouldn’t let my critique of it bother you so much.

Since when was Couture 5?10???

He sure isn’t. I’ve met him. He’s an absolute bear of a man. I think he’s around 6′1″ or so.
