Well he's not a Pride fan like we are.

Says who? Course I was a fan of Pride, K-1, Vale Tudo, etc. Been watching this stuff since the early 90's. Pre-internet there was a tape trading scene, practically everything we saw in those days were dodgy transfers off of foreign TV and rarely with english commentary.

For the record I'm also a long-time pro wrestling fan! But that's another story altogether...

There still is. I should show you the guys catalog. Its insane also good for Japanese wrestling. The full catalog (even then it was missing newer updates) was a few thousand pages and had full cards listed and typed out.

the joke is that Pride was more human cockfighting because of the freakshow matchchups than ultimate (=
 
For those into Muay Thai who haven't seen The Contender Asia, WATCH IT. It's awesome TV. Along the lines of TUF but with way more respect in the house. Also it has John Wayne Parr.

dat entrance.
 
for the unintiated, here's an example:

Here is MMA legend Dan "Hendo" Henderson in the white trunks knocking out some random chunky scrub from Russia. I can't even remember the guy's name, maybe someone can help me out. Anyway, notice how after Hendo knocks the dude's block off and his fat, out of shape carcass slams to the mat, the ref immediately steps in to stop it. If this were boxing, he would have been given a standing 8 count to gather himself and proceed to potentially suffer more damage and blows to his already sensitive brain. If it were football, he could have lied to his coach about his symptoms and be allowed back in the game to, again, cause more damage to his tender brain. MMA saved this Russian can's life so that he could be healthy enough to grace future shitty cards with his presence.

Lol, perfect.
