Anybody else into watching these on TV? They show UFC on Spike TV a lot. Pride comes on FSN (Fox Sports Network). I like pride a lot more though because of the caliber fighters.
Yeah man, the UFC is great, but we don't get Pride a lot in England. My favourite fighters are, Chuck Liddell, Andrei Arlovski, Vitor Belfort, Rich Franklin, George St Pierre, and Matt Hughes,. MMA fighting is so much more exciting than Boxing. I hear Pride has a much higher standard than the UFC. Do you watch K-1 as well?
Those are definitely some cool fighters in the UFC. As far as pride goes I would have to say the majority of the fighters are definitely of a much higher caliber. My specific favorites are: Mirko Crocop Vanderlei Silva Fedor Emelianko Antonio Nogueira
Yeah, I've seen Vanderei Silva, in the UFC when he fought Vitor Belfort, and I saw Mirko Crocop beat Mark Coleman at Pride. I've heard great things about Fedor and Nogueira but never seen them fight cause Pride doesn't get shown here in England. But you know Chuck Liddell wants to fight Vanderlei now that he's doing so well at Pride. You should check out some MMA forums, there's one I'm registered with called MMAFIGHTING.net, there's lots of Pride fans there. From what I've heard there's definitely much higher calibre fighters at Pride.
Yeah, I would love that man! But I'm not that technical with computers, how would you do it? By E-mailing me?
Sometimes I catch UFC on Spike and although I don't watch it regularly if it is on I am usually hooked.
Fedor is the man, they say he spends 3 hours a day on the heavy bag.\ Have any of you guys seen Francois Botha from south africa fight? I only saw one and he lost but his entrance song is "Buffalo Soilder" I didnt think he could loose with that as his theme song.
once soccer is done and their is a void in the sports world, I'll be looking for something to follow..maybe this will be of some interest...
i love ufc, specially now that they brought in rampage and cro-cop who were alrdy some of my fav fighters, glad someone finally beat liddells over-rated white trash ass lol
I've watched UFC somewhat but not enough to follow it. I like the Brazilian fighters like Anderson Silva. But what's the story with guys like Tito Ortiz and Randy Couture feuding over $$$? I don't follow it closely enough and was wondering if anyone knows the story behind this.
I love MMA...except when it comes to Elite XC and bad organizations like it... MY favorite fighters: Anderson Silva Miguel Angel Torres Urijah Faber Lyoto Machida Wanderlai Silva Mauricio Rua I'm a big fan of the BJJ fighters as well as the Greco-Roman BJJ combo fighters. MMA is amazing.
That fight last night was a joke. Silva really does think he is Ali or something...give him a worthy opponent.
I miss Pride, a lot. Ain't nothing like that 10 minute 1st round. And I think the Pride guys that got absorbed into UFC are getting the shitty end of the Zuffa stick. How 'bout WEC? -any thoughts on the last Faber/Mike Brown fight?
i miss pride but strikeforce got a lot of pride fighters and I like how strikeforce has open contracts. sucks that zuffa bought them out a few months ago but at least the org is still the same with open contracts.
