Honestly, I feel it was worth EVERY PENNY. It took a lot of money to show that the UFC fighters = Pride fighters. Some won, some lost, we got 3 present champions, and a whole lotta hype got expelled from the Pride myth. Don't get me wrong, I've always said Pride (was) = UFC, I just got sick to death of hearing Pride fanboys talk about how much better Pride fighters were, when I knew it wasn't true. Well, the Pride guys had to drop the juice (not suggesting all of them were juicing) and come to prove themselves.

PRIDE PURCHASE WORTH EVERY PENNY!
