Yeah the Pride represented in that video is gone for good. Most of the great match ups will be reserved for the cage, with watered down rules. We’ll wonder in big fights if so and so would have caught knee going for that take down. We’ll likely never see again how devastating side control or north south can be. Guys like Travis Lutter wouldn’t make it 30 seconds under Pride rules. It’s kind of sad to see an era go, but my dissapointment is far over shadowed by the potential dream fights that await us in the coming years. The thought of seeing Fedor, cro-cop, Silva, Kang, Aoki, Arona, or a motivated Gomi destroying the rank and file of the UFC gets me all misty eyed. Every TUF fighter collectivly **** their pants at the announcement of the ufc buying Pride. Have fun on spike and in the WEC boys..cause your days on PPV just got shortened.

that video was awesome it almost brought a tear to my eye. i dont see pride as dead but it is the end of an era. we are not losing our favorite fighters and there not losing the fans they have. at the end of every era is the start of a new one. and i dont think the rule changes are that bad most fight orgs already use these same rules and some of them dont even allow elbows. the no stomps and soccer kick will only effect a small group of fighters because most of the pride fighter dont even use them or dont use them much.
yea like i said in a previous post, without the pride rules, theres not much point, they should just dissolve pride and sign all the best talent to the UFC. Make for more accurate rankings.
**** you! Publishing a story with headline “PrideFC - RIP” shows how little you know about the scene. Why don’t you gather some facts before you start typing ********.
Now go to your boss and tell him you resign! Idiot!
why don’t you tell us how you really feel. Glad you can point out to me “how little I know about the scene.” I guess I will have to gather facts before I start typing.
Now let me go get my boss and tell myself that I resign. I’m such an idiot. Thanks, Muay-T, you just made everything so much clearer for me.
@Muey BS
Hey, go find another blog site to crash. That kind of language and attitude gives MMA a bad rap. Not all MMA fans are as limited in thought and vocabulary as you are. Sounds like you graduated 3rd grade and went straight to Millville School for the retarded.

wow i’m just reading the post from muay-t and its good to see we have some experts around here now. i know this post is a little bit late but i’m a dumb asss mma fan so what do you expect.
@muay-t
please read a few more post on this website and get YOUR facts together befor you make your self sound foolish AGAIN.
@MMAKansas
thank you for back peddling on the “retarded” thing. i have had the honer to spend a bunch of time with lots of different “handicapped” people and they were some of the smartest people i have met. my oldest son has Cerebral palsy and was able to easily spell words like deoxyribonucleic acid (that is the long way to spell D.N.A.) by the time he was 5.
keep our site purely for fans by fans. we are here to talk about mma not tell each other how dumb we are.

@dennis
im sorry bro, how did i do that? i try real hard not to put people down even when they are being dumb. most of the time when some one says something stupid on here i just try to show them the light. except in the case of personal attacks then i might call them a name or two.
@R.J. St.Croix
As filthy as the language gets on here, I cannot see how anyone would get offended by ANY of my comments, I did retract it though, and I didn’t feel any further comment on it was necessary. If I offended you personally, well, please don’t feel offended, I wish your child the best. However, I am not politically correct, so, generally, I am going to throw stones in the crowd, if you get hit, I apologize ahead of time.

Long Live Pride!
Pride’s not dead just in better hands.
i just read on mmaweekly that all the things that made pride pride are out so pride is out lets call the new pride the ufc uglier younger brother
yea like i said in a previous post, without the pride rules, theres not much point, they should just dissolve pride and sign all the best talent to the UFC. Make for more accurate rankings.
@Diik
….”uglier younger brother”….. TRUE!
especially if you think of Chuck as the face of UFC, and…….
Wandy as the face of Pride.
LMFAO

I apologize for my reference to the “retarded”, I should have said “gifted”.
@ MUAY-T,
dude………… chill.
I just opened a fortune cookie that says I have the wisdom of the ages.
So, you are the benenficiary of my first wise advice….
Better to be thought a moron, than to forever type your thoughts on the internet, proving that you are one.

Not your fault that I couldn’t say the word, other than DNA, much less spell it.
