Please!......Pride FC's biggest event so far, has reached a total of 97,000 people AT ONE EVENT! I dont know if the UFC should be in the same category as Pride...?

I would like to make a request to the Mods, Please put the UFC discussions into the "contenders" category where it belongs

.....and that way all the un-biased, True MMA fans can discuss where the big boys play...PRIDE FC! Ya baby.....!

Now people - dont start to complain and post remarks about Hughes.....I know Hughes is good, but he's in a division (170lbs) that Pride doesn't even Honor! This is another clear point of eveidence, that he cant hak it in the 185, or make weight at 145...thats not my fault!

When I want to really talk about truely the best fighters in the world.....(especially the so-called HW's...) everybody knows that the UFC is by no means a HW....and is lucky to be called a "contender!"

Pride continually has 5 - 10 times the amount of people that show up for the UFC events.....and no wonder why...Dana White and everybody else over at the UFC is way too much of a Pussy, to get real talent to come to fight in the UFC!
Dana White has figured out a way to always have who he wants to be the champion, and that way he doesnt have to PAY the Big Dollars, that a real Contender deserves and demands!

I have spoken with several MMA fighters, and they all say the same thing...the TUF show is a way to have crappy fighters fight other crappier fighters, and that way its builds up there record, and we supposedly want to see them fight again!

A perfect example of this, is what happened to Chris Leben .....Silva knocked him out so quick, that Chris L should have recieved 2 losses on his record for that fight!
I mean Chris was 15-1 and Silva was 15-4 at the time of their fight and Silva went thru him like a hot knife thru butter!

Its just 1 example of how your record all depends on where you fight...because if its the UFC....your not with the big boys, your with DANA....

Maybe because there are lots of great fighters in the UFC, and not just Pride

This is obviously an attempt to promote the "ignorant and elitist Pride-nuthugger" stereotype that's been tossed around recently. The argument lately is that most people who support Pride have just discovered Pride and want to feel like they know more so they bash on the UFC. By pretending to be a dumb Pride supporter, citing erroneous figures and making illogical arguments, he's adding to this argument. Noone is truly this dumb. Please ignore him.

Notice how this thread only spawned defense for UFC and hate for Pride (see hilarious Wandy/Sak pic) and even a general anti-Japanese racist remark? That's exactly what the threadstarter wanted.

ok first look at how many damn people live on that little tiny island and how many of them dont like boxing and just like MMA because its now dominant over other combat sports......Again 97,000 is like how many people live on one street anymore in Japan.

[J. Leeth]

Japanese fans suck to because there always dead quiet until a japanese fighter wins and starts walking around with the rising son ala Minowa who is one hell of a crappy fighter.

Wow, you sure know alot about sherdog and how it's set up, and MMA event attendance for a guy who just joined up here at sherdog a couple of days ago. This your trolling account is it?

[ViolentMan]

We need both...Pride has more money to spend so they get the best.

[BuakawRules]

i maybe would have agreed with this thread a couple years ago but now the ufc is showing its willingness to bring some good fighters, like A. Silva that you mentionned yourself and wandy, so my advice to you is STFU
