As I surf the internet bouncing from one mixed martial arts(MMA) site to the next a reoccurring theme occurs. The discussion of Pride Fighting Championships, the fighters, the rules and now a select number of fights being show on Spike TV. This brought back fond memories for me and made me think about the current state of MMA and what made Pride stand out from the crowd.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a combination of different combat styles. Arts such as Brazilian Jiu jitsu and Muay Thai are centered around respect not only for the art but for your opponent as well. Recently we have seen some antics inside the cage and ring that lead this writer to believe we are watching the decline of sportsmanship in MMA.

Fedor is unbelievably good. If he tossed around Brett Rogers and than brutally knocked him out. Imagine what he would do to Brock Lesnar who’s pathetic record is only 4-1. How on earth can you become a champ of UFC with that record?
The UFC doesn’t have the best fighters in the world, the UFC just has the flashiest fighters. Most of them don’t even have actual black belt degrees in what they claim they have. For instance, Frank Mir claims to have a second degree blackbelt that he supposedly got after only 4 years of training. That is bull considering that I have a second degree black belt in bjj and by the regulations, you can’t even get a brown belt that fast. Lesnar can’t even punch hard, he throws sissy punches and the referee just stops the match regardless if any damage is even being inflicted. In all, the UFC is a sissy league, I’ll put my money on any fighter coming out of Pride any day, now that was a league of true warriors. Dan White is nothing more than a pimp and all of his fighters are his ho ho hoes.
fedor is the most respectful fighter of all (the best for a while). ufc could learn alot from him if they would remove the cotton from their ears and put it in their mouth.
Oscar, that’s not really the issue. The UFC has the best MMA fighters in the world that fight in an octagon. That is all that is claimed isn’t it? I don’t hear any of them say they’d go dominate K-1 etc. And Lesnar has a hard punch man, its not terribly flashy, but it would feel like a cement block off the melon. What he did to Mir’s face while lying on top of him was uncanny that he could generate that much force in such a short distance. I agree that maybe his straight punches aren’t that spectacular, but I sure as fuck would not want to be hit by any hooks or elbows from that dude. Mir is legit, his credentials are legit. This isnt old school BJJ anymore, it doesn’t require 80 years of your life to advance, and these guys do it full time. Pride was bad ass, kicking in the face was awesome.
records dont mean shit ya fadors badass but you cant say he would beat brock just based on his record any real fight fan knows it.If fadors not challingin him self he’ll never get better and as for the ufc not having the best fighters fador listed some of his toughest fights and allmost all of the people he listed are in the ufc so suck it haters.
The UFC is amazing, and it has the best fighters, in my opinion. Who wouldn’t agree? I’ll write only a few names to remind you all: Anderson Silva, Rampage, Minotauro, Vandeley Silva, Randy Couture, Rashad Evans, and others. Guys, they’re awesome! The rules are something to watch, too. They proctect the fighters from big injuries all the time. The refrees are very well prepared for acting, while the extinct Pride refrees allowed fighters be beaten up when they couldn’t fight back. So, let’s enjoy the sport and practice it when possible too. Hugs
Oscar you dumb bitch you must know nothing thats why gilbert yvel came into ufc from pride and his ass knocked out in the first round by dos santos. nobody in pride can beat any of our chmapions and thats a guarenteeand most of our top contenders can kill any champion in pride
If Fedor cared about Fans he would fight in the UFC cause thats what fans want. Its all about money with them russian’s and im not being racist. Fedor is making lots of money with CBS and M1-Global and the UFC has offerd more its obvious. If fedor joined the UFC no dout they are going to match Fedor up against the best UFC has to offer. Fedor and his managers cant risk that loss so Fedor will probably never join the UFC unless he is trying to be done with MMA, All it takes his frist loss in the UFC for a retirement ticket. The UFC will LOL at everyone who thought Fedor was the best crushing the competition CBS and Strike Force has to offer. Next time you see Fedor it will probably be a guy who was nothing in Pride-FC or some washed up UFC fighter or some noobie knock out artist.
fedor is a good fighter but i also think deohge is right about fedor getting a loss in the ufc. they want him to stay unbeaten so they can make a ton of money. he should just man up and go to the ufc fuck the money. he’ll still make a lot of money no matter what. no good fighter fights in pride anymore ufc signed them all from GOMI to MINITORO thier all in the ufc now. fedor last few wins were against washed up tim sylvia, old mark coleman. brett rogers is a nobody compared to dos santos, cain velasquez. stephen struve will beat brett rodgers.
