PRIDE was/still is popular in Korea. There's a channel called XTM that has a show called PRIDE Showdown (like UFC Unleashed on Spike) that shows old PRIDE fights. But I think the show got cancelled when ZUFFA shut down it's offices in Japan. WWE PPVs are now aired in its place.
UFC PPVs are aired free on the Super Action channel.
Yarrenoka and K-1 Dynamite were extremely popular over here on NYE. Korean Families gathered together to watch these two events like it was some Family Christmas Special on TV.
K-1 World Max Asia 2009 is coming to Seoul, Korea on 24 Feb 08 at the Jangchung Gymnasium.
Anyone know where Team Busan M.A.D is located? I live in Busan and I've been looking for a place to train.
