This might be the shittiest way I've ever seen squashing the most retarded argument ever put forth. Thanks.

Ridiculous ... The "overrated" Rampage happened to beat Chuck Liddell twice -- convincingly. Admit it, you don't believe what you're saying, do you?

Seriously, now the nuthuggers only have Big Nog to hold onto, and he's only the interim champ. And even still he was getting absolutely crushed by Sylvia before he caught him in that sub.

Other than that PRIDE owns no belts now. And don't try to say Anderson Silva because he had a few fights in PRIDE long before he was in the UFC. Going by that logic W Silva and Henderson were UFC fighters all along since they fought in the UFC first.

I mean Rampage was picked apart by a tuffer who was KO'd by another tuffer. And let's not forget Marcus Aurelio. He was one of the best LW's PRIDE had to offer (beat Gomi twice, second fight was a BS decision), and he was absolutely wrecked by Tyson Griffin, a mid-to-high level fighter in the UFC.

You all better hope Fedor beats Sylvia bad on July 19, cause otherwise the myth of PRIDE superiority will take a final death blow.
Did you take your medication today?

What an ignorant thread...besides many of the top Pride fighters aren't even in the UFC. Look at all of the top HWs LHWs MWs and LWs that never even came over. The top fighters that have come over have done good except for an out of shape Shogun. Nog, Werdum, Rampage, A Silva, W. Silva have all done well if not great thus far.

Rampage has been inconsistant through his career. He has had close fights with fighters that he should have handled before like Ninja, Dong Sik Yoon, Bustamante etc.

Besides I scored the fight 3-2 rounds in favor of Rampage. (actually a tie in which the champ gets due to a 10-8 second round)

Don't forget Cro Cop bro. And those other fighters ain't coming over cause they don't wanna get owned too.

I like how people still put fighters in groups rather than look at the indvidual pride's dead.

Not that I ever bought in to the whole UFC vs Pride thing, but to be fair the UFC huggers have waaaay more to shout about.

If your keeping score UFC > Pride
