When you watched Pride, it felt more as a "sport" than UFC at that time. The ring, the Pride theme song, the venues, the politeness of the crowd (ie. the crowd doesn't boo during a submission attempt), etc.

@@rodolfoortega1069 Soccer kicks can be defended like any other strike. There's nothing magical about them. I'd prefer less rules in general, but I at least understand the terrible optics of head stomps. Knees to grounded opponents would also be nice. Give a new avenue for wrestlers for fighting, so that they aren't just 'those guys that stall and don't do anything,' and give everyone else means of punishing wrestlers for bad takedown attempts.

Individual Entrances with the lighting and choice of music made the walk outs unique unlike the static UFC one. Fedor's "Enae Volare Mezzo" with the rising walkway and lighting is still the BEST EVER.

For me I prefer Pride's rules on the rounds: first round 10 minutes (brutal) and for the second round 5 minutes. It gave us a lot more finishes. The worst thing was the ropes: they offered a better spectator view but they had people falling out of them or using them to cheat. (Not everyone will agree with this)

The problem with a ten minute first round is that a lot of fighters gassed out, leading to really boring second rounds if the fight wasn't finished in the first. Also, ten minutes of straight grappling can be kinda boring when it comes to wrestler v wrestler matches, which Pride had a lot of.

@@champ1159 I think they're talking about inactivity on the ground, sort of a Usman/Askren type. High level wrestlers who know they can take ppl down and hold them there with minimal sub attempts or gnp

So pride had an anime opening Damm...

Thank you Tom for the Pride theme, that I didn't know

I loved Pride! My heroes, Rickson Gracie , Mario Sperry and Marco Ruas! Old school!

This was one of the best ones yet 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Long Live Pride Fighting Championship.

''... fortunately, no longer has a place in the broadcast.'' Cue Mike Goldberg frame lolol 😭

I wish that some Rich Japanese Investors would just buy back the Pride name and fight library so we could have it back again. :(

I really hate that Pride is a footnote in the history of the UFC. Props to the list. I think it covered everything.

@@boilerkim1530 I personally prefer the ring with ropes. Mainly because it stops the fighters from just laying against the damn cage

As soon as Tom has to show his face, I close the video. Tommy is the best narrator.

3:09 nice bars 👍

The bring the pain intros for ufc were the most epic and still are.

Face the pain still plays on the broadcast. It haunts me, so I know😂

Definitely wish they implemented the card system nowadays. Simple warning from the refs arent cutting it.

I agree but I don’t think deducting a fighters pay is a good idea. That’s people’s livelihoods you’re talking about. They already have to worry about losing money due to weight cutting let alone that.

Nice one! One of your best! I like the music too!

Pride days were so good. I miss it... Shivers when you played the theme song! Thank you

Seriously though, I'm so sick of the eye pokes in the UFC. . .

Pride dc quality gloves would be much expensive (was much expensive back then) than current ufc gloves. Rizin is currently the best organisation in term of gloves (because it same people as pride fc) then it’s bellator. UFC like to say they are the best organisation but spend money only in stuff that is good investment for the company it’s always about the company but not the fighters .

Prides theme song could be a fight scene music from anime or some other western fantasy cartoon

Ant you’re the man; SOCCER KICKS!!!!! Pride never dies 🤙

Video suggestions Top 10 strikers in mma Top 10 journey men to champs

From how i always view it , Pride was basicaly real/shoot version of pro wrestling(with some exeptences like worked Takada fights) , so it had presents of pro wrestling : cool music , awesome walkouts , big man vs little man , etc. - all acolites of wrestling , while Danas UFC was mostly moddeled by boxing , sins Dana was boxing promouter before mma , and not a big fan of flashy "wrestling style" showmanship - so basicaly its compleatly 2 different psycologys behind both products(well at least how i always thoutgh about it), and farther more , lets not forget that mma was born from pro wrestling in Japan so its only natural to have those atrebutes (early versions of mma like pancrase even had rope breaks)

C’mon! Face the Pain is dope!

I am impressed you were able to trim the list down to just ten.

Good list Ant
