I wonder what the next PRIDE vs UFC fight is going to be.

[FoxtrotUniformCKilo]

-No strikes to the head when the opponent has 3 or more points on the ground, i.e. is a "grounded opponent." This means no soccer kicks, no knees to the head, etc.

-No stomping a grounded opponent.

These are rules that don't exist in Pride, while Pride exclude elbows to the face. Personally i like the ability to hit people on the ground -I thought pride was more exciting and more indicative of real fighting. I'm less interested in UFC where grounded opponents are given so much protection.

i just realize its you replying to your own comments becuase your that pathetic, typeing a bunch doesnt make you right, it just makes you more of an idiot lmao, reroll life you pathetic scumbag.

[spek001]

wth are you even smoking, have you been watching MMA, all pride fighters got stomped by ufc MEDIOKER FIGHTERS, because they cant use roids anymore, how about making sense you fuckin CHUMP.

Sadly, I doubt that Dana White will stop being an idiot and finally offer Fedor a decent contract so he can fight in the UFC. I think that's what most people want to see, Fedor fighting the best out of the UFC.

I think it would be best not to give the PRIDE fighters only tough fights to begin with since many of them would have to get accustomed to fighting in a cage before they can show their full potential.

[heroinpenguin666]

And now, afraid to get more of their UFC stars destroyed, they make Rampage fight another PRIDE fighter, Henderson XD

I'd rather see more PRIDE vs UFC than PRIDE vs PRIDE in the UFC, it sure will be a great fight, but I think it's too early.

[heroinpenguin666]

The only way Monson could win would be fighting a boring fight laying and praying in Nogueira's guard trying to pull off a decision but I think Nogueira is too smart to let him do that.

[heroinpenguin666]

I'd give that fight to Nogueira. Nogueira has the better boxing and the longer reach, therefore Monson would try to take him down, with which he'd succeed but he'd find himself unable to submit or knock Nogueira out. Nogueira would probably be patient and make Monson tired while Monson attempts to take him down over and over again and when finally on the ground having a hard time doing anything at all and staying out of submissions.

[heroinpenguin666]

Ha ha, Minowa would get crushed! He might have fought much larger opponents in the past and won! But he was much more skilled (on the ground) than them.

No doubt Minowa would take the fight, he'd take any MMA fight no matter who the opponent was but Monson would simply overpower Minowa, on top of the weight and power advantage Monson's ground game is better too.

[heroinpenguin666]

Like he said, everyone wnts to fight Fedor. XD

[heroinpenguin666]

There's so much potential in the Pride vs. UFC matches, I'm pretty excited about those! XD
