These people who say Pride is better than UFC are still pre-pubescent teens who are pissed because their niche sport is becoming mainstream.
That said:
Pride
UFC
KOTC
AFC
WEC
WFA
IFL
ROTR
HOOKnSHOOT
Shooto
Pancrease
Deep
Mars
K-1
Jungle fight
EFC
ECC
These are all good promotinos with great fights and fighters. Some of the greatest MMA matches ever were fought at small shows between two NO-NAME fighters who trained for months and poured their hearts out in the ring
ANyone who spouts off about "UFC is great pride sucks" or "PRIDE rules UFC is for losers" is not a true MMA fan.
Please go out support the sport buy as many DVD's of ANY EVENTS YOU CAN. I promise you will find gems in the rough.
I was at the show when melvin guiliard fought lee king to a draw - which was a GREAT FIGHT At a local bar in new orleans which held maybe 75 people.
I remeber watching Sean Sherk fight at a local show against Karo Parisyan. It lasted forever and finally Karo's corner threw in the towel. Everyone who was there knew that they were watching some future stars.
Just watch MMA, find a gym and start training if possible, you'll enoy MMA that much more
