hell yes - the ufc crowd sucks, the production quality of pride is incredible.
Pride also attracts more international fighters.
Go hunting for some pride dvds to get an idea of what it's all about - there's a good dvd store in town called "currentz" or something...
pride final conflict absolute 2006 is a good one.

Ever since I saw Crocop vs. Emelienko I'll never watch UFC again.
Fedor is probably my favorite fighter to watch, ever. He just exudes focus and determination, with no bs. Crocop does too, of course (which is another reason their fight was so good) - but there's something of the animal in Fedor.
I get the impression that if there were no money or fame involved anywhere, he would still be doing exactly what he is doing.

The only animal in Fedor is a huge teddy bear. And most of these people, except for Quinton Jackson, are doing it for the fun of it, not for money or fame. Trust me, if you're just looking for money and fame, there's many easier ways to get it. You won't get paid jack until you reach the top .5%.

That kinda validates what I had in mind then.
And when I said animal, I just meant his singular focus -- not necessarily some animal killing instinct or something.

watching fedor destroy heath herring was incredible - those punches have sickening power:

this was fedor's second fight @ pride i believe, so the commentators weren't that familiar with his ability. It's kinda fun listening to their amazement.

Thanks, that was nice.
Bas and the other guy were making all kinds of excuses for the Texan. He was obviously the favorite for that fight, but Fedor just dominated him over and over again.
I don't think he ever got close to 100% again after he took that right hook early in the match on the ground from Fedor.
I can't get enough of seeing this guy fight.

That was fuckin' pretty rough. What the hell kind of fighting is this? I've never seen a match like this before where you're allowed to just lay on a guy and knee him in the face over and over again for 5 minutes straight. I was waiting for the Russian (I assume he's Russian from his last name?) guy to knock the black dude over and beat the living shit out of him but it never happened... was interesting to watch anyway.
It's called ground fighting you dimwit.

Kevin Randleman is a sad story of wasted potential. Hammerhouse fucked him with shitty training and took him down the wrong road.

heh he's like a fucking wolverine.
The commentator's seemed baffle at his performance against Shogun at pride 32 - they couldn't understand why he didn't try to get out of shogun's submissions

It's because he's a stupid roided monkey who never worked on his weaknesses, like everyone else in hammerhouse.
But opinions vary.
