If you're hardcore watch them both. They each offer their own flavor. You don't like the ground game in UFC (which I think you should change your name from MrGrapple then
) so be it.
Some of us love it. I like to see Tito drag his opponents into the corner and lay in with elbows and strikes. I like it when Even Tanner does his GnP. Is someone like Rashad Evans kind of boring ... yeah he's the exception not the rule. Should he lose fights for LnP ... yeah I think that aggression on the ground should be increased in point value where if you are on the ground too much and don't fight aggressively you should actually lose points.
However I don't like how PRIDE moves fighters from one location to another at the edge of the ring. It screws up momentum and gives a fighter time to recover. I don't like how quickly they stand fighters up ... agian there are fighters who given a little time can do some very cool attacks from the ground. Hell we both know that Tito would get destroyed in the PRIDE ring becuase his fighting style isn't condusive for it.
In the UFC cage though many PRIDE fighters would get owned by him and he sure as hell is exciting to watch!
