By Charttopper Fresh off of his first round knock-out victory over Luiz Cane at UFC 106, Antônio Rogério ‘Little Nog’ Nogueira (18-3) talked with Tatame.com about being the UFC light-heavyweight division and his hopes that one day, Brazilian fighters would dominate the entire weight class. Tatame: You and Shogun had one of the biggest fights in the history of Pride, in which he took the decision. What do you think you should have done extra to have won that fight? Antônio Rogério Nogueira: It’s tough to say man. Shogun is a great fighter, a great champion and he was in the best stage of his career til today. He has his merits, at the end of the fight I tried to take his back… If I had finished the fight there at his back, I would have been able to change the story of the f...   [read the full post]

By Eduardo Cruz Former Pride FC lightweight deity Takanori Gomi talks about his desire to sign with one of two US-based fight promotions while visiting Las Vegas to catch the Nov. 14 boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto.

By Justin Orel Shogun Rua . Okay, my Pride side is showing. I must’ve watched the Shogun-Wandy sparring videos online more than I’ve watched actual fights. I couldn’t be happier with Shogun’s ascension in the UFC Light-Heavyweight division, and after his performance against Lyoto Machida at UFC 104, I’...

By Jim Genia Light-heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida, heretofore believed to possess an aura of invincibility, lost that aura thanks to Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. And Rua, at one time believed the best light-heavyweight in the world from his performances in Pride, lost his UFC 104 match-up against the c...

By Zdot He got back to the UFC in 2002 to fight Jutaro Nakao at UFC 36. He competed in the UFC until 2003, but in 2004, he signed with the rival compagny, Pride Championship and fought at Pride Bushido 2. He fought eight times in 2004 in many different events in the States and in Japan.

By Chart Topper Make no mistake the UFC treated me a lot better than Pride. If you get hurt in training in a UFC fight then will send you to the best doctors. If you get hurt in a Pride fight most of the time they will tell me “oh you better take care of that!” The UFC will always let you know in a timely matter who you will be fighting & give you enough time to train but with Pride if I knew 4 weeks ahead I would be happy cause most times they just give you a 2 weeks notice. Pride will rip you off on your merchandising but the UFC would find someway to hook you up on merchandising deals. Pride will make fights easier for certain fighters inside the ring (like standing up fights early). With the UFC whatever happens happens. The only thing I see the UFC needs to fix in this area is to...   [read the full post]

By Anti Newb World Order Everything about the UFC is aimed towards this certain demographic of sheeple who dont cuestion the packaging of the product. When Pride was around we used to get fightcards with like 7-8 fights guaranteed in a 3 hour pay per view !  Nobody really complained when all of a sudden it dropped d...

By Benjamin.Zeidler 4 There are always intriguing storylines to follow in MMA. Young vs. old, style vs. style, power vs. technique. In poker, there is rarely a storyline to follow. Occasionally we run across a guy like Moneymaker that has a good story, but nothing like "PRIDE vs. UFC" or "Ortiz vs. Liddell."

By Adam Wagner Fresh off his stint as coach of Team U.S. on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF): “U.S. vs. U.K.” the former PRIDE light heavyweight and middleweight champion, Dan Henderson, was one of two featured guests on MMAmania.com’s exclusive presentation of Pro MMA Radio this week.

By Alan Conceicao Returning to Zuffa and their handling of PRIDE, it is remarkable that such a bungled effort sees such little interest retrospectively, particularly when talk of great business prowess is so rampant. Some estimates of the purchase of PRIDE range upwards of $70,000,000. Even at a quarter o...

By Kid Nate DREAM.3 wasn't a bad way to kill nearly five hours on a Sunday afternoon. But aside from a fight of the year candidate between Eddie Alvarez and Joachim Hansen, what was so great about it? DREAM might have similar look to PRIDE; use a lot of its unique elements such as the Grand Prix format; and u...

By JapanMMA Nightmare of Battle found this article on AsgardMMA.com. In it there is an interview with my favorite fighter, and in some ways the reason I got interested in MMA and now have this blog. Jon Olav Einemo was one of the fighters that got really screwed by the Pride deal. When it went through he had 1 f...

By Josh Stein They can’t go to Pride, since it no longer exists. (many left for Pride after the first TUF season, but they’re now looking for somewhere else to go) They can’t go to the WEC, because it follows that same formula as the UFC, only with lighter weight classes. (And, on top of that, many refuse to su...

By AH I’ve been looking forward to this card since the Dan Henderson vs. Anderson Silva main event was announced back in October. Of course by now you know the story: Title vs. Title. Pride vs. UFC. Middleweight unification. It’s all so very exciting.

By Adrian Tapia In a recent article on SI.com, David Epstein tried to convince the readers that PRIDE FC was overrated. While some big loses have been featured lately in the media, Epstein statements tells me that he is not an educated fan of the sport. Many current fighters in the UFC were former Pride fighte...
