PRIDE 2006 Open Weight Grand Prix Highlights

[MasterWarri]

ahhh, the nostalgic feeling i have when i watch this. almost shed a tear :)

[lolipop1122]

I miss U PRIDE..

[mackymadness86]

those were the days when no body fucked with wanderlei silva, he was a beast

[zeus5306]

@mackymadness86 Mirko CroCop did

[SharkyssMachine]

nobody knows the song

[RicksonGracieKNF]

What is song ?

[medemirou]

@RicksonGracieKNF  Diva - BLOOD+ ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK 1

[armbar5000]

awesome video

[mastofmast1]

good they let CroCop win something at last, fighting MW/LHWs must have been nice,

still a great fighter

[FluxuV]

@mastofmast1 Cro Cop is out of his prime undoubtebly. Nonetheless you are a fucking idiot and Cro Cop is a Legend for winning the Final conlfict!

He KOed Wandy Silva who at the moment of the fight was 4 punds heavier than Cro Cop and back then Middleweigth Pride Champion. And in the same night he TKOed Josh Barnett, former UFC heavyweight champion.

So dumbass show me one fighter in the world who can do that in one fucking night.

[LETMEC4FREE]

@JKT6 The guy in the gi is a judo practitioner, Hidehiko Yoshido. Mirko Cro Cop.

[thaandiesel]

very nice vid

[witegetobro]

i like how its the most peaceful music possible to the most violent act possible.

[sheemsheem]

Mirko really is a true legend...defeating Wandy in his prime and josh on the same night...wow that is VERY difficult to do.....its ok you lost to mir crocop you might be out of money too but your still a worldwide legend!

[werthSadhill]

is that yoshida?the one kick by crocop?3:09

[LETMEC4FREE]

@werthSadhill  Yes!

[rkd350z]

Crocop is the Openweight GP Champion

He beat Vandy Silva and Josh Barnett in the same night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Svittidiu]

Poor Thompson. He's been knocked out so many times during his career that it makes me wonder how fucked up his brain is.

[videogamegenius]

NO PRIDE, NO LIFE.

[mmladjo]

Mirco cro cop wins ;)

[mamagola]

the winner of Pride Grand Grix 2006 is Mirko CroCop Filipović

[T4NNY786]

@reernandes05, correction mate, its James "The Colossus" Thompson

[lhasafi]

Sweet mother of pancakes... I didn't realise how AWESOME PRIDEFC was when it was still here. Oh, how I wish UFC could have tournaments - REAL tournaments, that is.

[reernandes05]

What is the name of the song

[cymen1]

Diva - Mark Mancina (Blood+ soundtrack)

[malasombraka]

[joeyjupiter77]

[oscuroynegro]

estos son eventos y no mamadas!!

This are events!! UFC never done things like this, ..PRIDEFC The Best Organization Of All Time!!!

[vesproba]

this video makes me want to fight with someone, hahahaha =)

[KILLAROB15]

Pride has and alwayz will B top notch in mma ufc has way 2 many damn rules in weight divison... dana white should hold a open weight tournment in see how new fans ufc would hav

[64jimmac]

Just fucken mute it

[Chaos6655]

The song makes it unwatchable.

[kawase0221]

cool

[Z32LA]

Beautyful

There will never be another Pride FC

[kopposka11]

well pride was awesome back then... then ufc offered huge money to fighters and they went from pride to ufc.... wanderlei,shogu,kongo,rampage,­liddel,coleman,randleman,and many more

[RTL]

Yeah — what actually happened was UFC bought Pride FC, and acquired its fighters. Plus, Liddell has always been signed to the UFC, Randleman never went back to the UFC, and Kongo has never been in Pride.

Don't worry, I like making stuff up too and convincing other people it's fact! :D

[kopposka11]

well then i didnt remember right... but liddel has fought in pride... and yes rampage did came from pride...he kicked liddel ass in pride

[guccipurse]

twice

[kopposka11]

@guccipurse y

[guccipurse]

he beat liddell twice because hes bad and liddel isnt.

[kopposka11]

@guccipurse ....i really didnt understand what you saying : D ...wanderlei greatest ever and that how it is... say what you want

[Z32LA]

What really happened was that, Pride was found to have connections to the Yakuza then FUJI TV didnt want to air them anymore and couldnt find anyone else to air them and so they sold.

[Jamaicanwhiteboy12]

Japanese fighters have so much heart to never stop.

[nobama6]

Love the music in the last few seconds -- PrideFC!

The only thing I enjoyed about UFC100 was watching Dan "Hollywood" Henderson pummel a UFC fighter... Even through Pride was killed by the UFC, Dream and K-1 will live on to put on quality shows.

[Z32LA]

everything you said i agree with!

[MultiHero]

pride > ufc

yokiro arm bars > american whohityou

[sayramrod]

Pride = UFC

Americans now own you

[alchemist889]

Sick compilation. What song is that?

[thenormalyears]

sage

[hopestealer]

Its more then a dream..... its pride.....

[mcnamara]

No Pride

No Life

[DaTensay]

pride was magical and this highlight was one of the best ive ever seen!

[dustin253]

wow this kicks ufcs ass....

[Swizzler101]

Awesome intro to this tourney. Slo-mo and this kind of haunting music knocks the metal/fast cuts right out of the water. It's like a Morricone spaghetti western epic. Thanks for posting.

[amazingazn19]

This is awesome; it's like a video game promo montage, only much, much better...cuz it was real.

Bring back PRIDE.

[sleepsleep5]

so good great video. pride forever

[Alfreddavey]

An incredible compilation. Very professional. I also got goosebumps - kciked in when Thompson planted knee after knee to fujitas head - iron head cant be KO'd.

[mmafanatic2]

because it is professional, this is what they made for the show.

[everst]

im so glad i had the priviledge to watch this event live. what a great memory!

[DivineDynasty23]

you lucky SOB

[yumjesusjuice]

no more sick grand prixs like this. we are gonna be relegated to watching grand prixs with jose conseco and hong man choi >>

[nobama6]

Give it time! Dream is just starting up, and they've had some great shows. One of the best fights I've ever seen was on Dream (Alvarez and Hansen). It took time for Pride to get to where it was, it will take Dream time as well. UFC is the only game in town, but it's nothing compared to Pride...

[miguelelpapi17]

great video

[LHK101]

Greatest montage ever. Gives me goosebumps

[Jerome112]

I love the change at 3:30 when Nogueira and Werdum are fighting, and the expression of Fedors face.

Pride was the greatest ever.

[Alfreddavey]

Ha yeah - the immortal watches on like Sheng Tsung

[Nocturnus6355]

Pride FC was the best MMA event in the world. best fighters,best entrance!

UFC sucks,that is shit...

NO PRIDE NO LIFE!!!

[BeezleTheIceMan]

@Nocturnus6355 RIGHT ON MAN PRIDE WAS THE BEST

[mmatazo]

sick video man

[lionfishs]

who are those two fighting @ 2:30 ??

[FungusFromUliJonRoth]

James Thompson and Kazuyuki Fujita.

[lionfishs]

thanx fungus

[FungusFromUliJonRoth]

No prob, lion.

[mmatazo]

fujitas chin is made of fucking super mans shit

[everst]

heh, when he gets wanderleis shin across his face hes just like "ow that hurt a lot"

[nobama6]

Fujita used to be the gatekeeper to pride -- if you could get past him, you were worthy enough to fight. Pride was awesome!

[Z32LA]

Wrong the pride gatekeeper was goodridge

[timwnsdsk]

Damn that was a great video, though to be honest I only watched abotu 30 seconds of it because I have never seen these fights. And TK shouldn't have tried to trade punches with Mark Hunt, that's for sure! BTW is this eventon DVD yet. I need to have it.

[nobama6]

Most of these are on DVD. Pride, PrideGP, and Bushido. I only got to see the last live (Pride 34), wasn't even aware of it before it was almost gone... Dream is coming on strong now -- if you have HDNet, you can typically watch them live.

[nob150]

song name?

[rkd350z]

PRIDE > UFC

[theAXEmurdererr]

fuckinnnn epic video one of the best on youtube!!! fuck that was sick

[davor83]

Pride is the best forever i miss it so much. I hope that Dream can be just like this

[eddit]

Wow. Some great highlight clips. Barnett and Aleksander looked intense. Did Barnett ko him or something? And even though it didn't seem to do much, that crazy kick that Minowa threw at Cro Cop looked awesome.

[runningmoose69]

Nah Barnett submitted him.

[gsg9mark]

really good video & music choice

[WipeYourPussy]

yea open weight was the illest..
