The "pre" Pride:

Rickson Gracie x Yoji Anjo

Tem dia que é melhor ficar em casa. Provavelmente você já ouviu essa frase por aí, certo? Mas certamente o pro-westler japonês Yoji Anjo, não a levou a sério!!! A história teve início, assima: O Takada começou a desafiar publicamente o Rickson, e ele dizia que não lutaria com ele ou outro do pro-westling, porque faziam marmelada (pro-wrestling) e etc... e "rolou" muito na imprensa japonesa esse tipo de desafio, o Takada sempre que podia dava uma alfinetada no Rickson, que já andava uma "fera" com eles, mas sabiamente dizia que se um promotor bancasse a luta, ele lutaria, mas que não era essa a sua intenção , porque ele não tinha nenhum interesse em lutar com alguém que só faz marmelada. Então, num belo dia, os japoneses chegaram de surpresa com a imprensa nipônica na academia de Rickson em Los Angeles, neste dia quem estava dando aula era o Limão (faixa-preta de Rickson). Na verdade quem fez o desafio foi um promotor, Takada não estava presente, na época ele era idolatrado no Japão, mas corriam boatos de que Yoji Anjo era melhor de porrada, por isso foi o escolhido para o desafio contra Rickson. Diante dessa situação o Limão ligou para o Rickson, que não estava na academia, Rickson veio na hora, já com equipamento para filmar a luta. Ao chegar na sua academia, Rickson disse primeiramente que não queria lutar, pois só a faria num evento e por uma boa grana (até deu o valor de sua bolsa). Aí o Anjo, que estava calado, chegou pra perto e disse que Rickson declarou certa vez que também lutava pela sua honra e esperou a reação de Rickson. O Rickson nem deixou o japonês acabar direito a frase e topou na hora, não deixou a imprensa entrar, botou todo mundo pra fora e só deixou entrar o Anjo e o promotor e o rapaz que filmou a luta para o Gracie. Tudo pronto, começou a "peia", mas não tem nem muita coisa pra falar, Rickson derrubou Anjo, montou e ficou dando porrada por uns cinco minutos, depois levou o japonês pra perto de uma parede e jogou a cabeça dele com tudo, nessa o cara já ficou "zonzo", depois começou uma sessão de porradas que desfigurou a cara do Anjo, dente quebrado, olho roxo, boca inchada, foi quando praticamente desfalecido o japonês se virou e Rickson o estrangulou com um mata-leão, colocando o Anjo pra dormir, então Rickson deixou a imprensa japonesa entrar e filmar o Anjo acordando, todo arrebentado. Dias depois, Yoji Anjo voltou a academia de Rickson para lhe dar um presente e lhe pedir desculpas por tê-lo desafiado.

Some days you better stay at home. You probably heard this phrase right? But the wrestler Yoji Anjo didn't take it seriously! This history began when Takada widely challenged Rickson gracie wich recused because he wouldn't fight "fake wrestling", and the japanese press, with Takada was "poking" Rickson Gracie to death. A long time irritated Rickson said he would fight if a good promoter made the fight, to make sure this wouldn't be a "fake fight". So, in a good day, the japanese came to Rickson gym in L.A. with their press. Rickson weren't there this day, Limão was teaching in his place. A promoter came and challenged Rickson, Takada wasn't even there, in his place was Yoji Anjo who was considered better than Takada. Limão called Rickson who was at home, who immediately put up his clothes, took his camera and went to his gym.

When he arrives, Rickson said he would not fight for free, he even said how much money he wanted. That's when Yoji Anjo told Rickson: "You said you would fight anyone for PRIDE". Rickson interrupted Anjo's speak and accepted the fight right there. Rickson forced everyone out of his gym, except for Yoji, his promoter and the guy who was filming.

Fight begins: there's not much thing to talk about it, Rickson took Yoji down, mounted him and punched him for about 5 minutes, then he threw Yoji's head to a wall who got hurt bad and started to look disorientedly. With that Rickson started a punching session to his head. he got a Broken teeth, Purple eye, swelled mouth, when he was about to fade, he turned his back on Rickson who choked him out cold with a rear raked choke.

Rickson opened the doors and let everyone in, letting the japanese press film yoji waking up all beaten. Days after yoji returned to rickson gym with a gift and to apologize him.

After all that , it was Takada's turn, in a new event named PRIDE.
