[Daaavo]

One of these fighters called the other a 'B' level opponent. And it wasn't was the winner.

Exactly. I'll give credit were credit is due though. Georges St. Pierre is a pretty good fighter. I like him. All other UFC fighters...CRAP!

Now let's talk about the best fighters...PrideFC will be on PPV this Sunday. DON'T MISS IT! It's going to be fvcking AWESOME!

Don't a lot of UFC fighters fight in Pride as well?

The majority of UFC fighters that fight in Pride are the old school UFC fighters (AKA the good ones). The new gen UFC fighters just get their asses kicked when they step into the Pride house.

Does Trigg ever NOT give up his back?

You might want to rewatch Baroni vs Ryo Chonan and Minowi then. Chuck vs Allistar Overeem, and how Ricco got scrwed on his fight with Nog. Also Yves Edward did well in his Pride Bushido debut.

I'm big fan of Pride, Shooto, K-1 Heroes and Pancreas but I know UFC do have some top fighters.

Totally. He should change his nickname from "Twinkle Toes" to "Rear Necked Choke" and think about a tattoo on his back that says 'RNC' with an arrow that points up to his neck.

Andrei Arlovski and Frank Mir(prior to his motocycle crash) are also well rounded UFC fighters.


Here's some old school Igor Vovchanchyn from 1995, Absolute Fighting Championship 1.

Baroni fought Japanese tin cans. I would not rank Chonan OR Minowi as top Pride fighters at all. I would have REALLY liked it if those sh!tting fighters beat Baroni, but that didn't happen. And let me tell you about Chuck vs Allistar...Chuck beat Allistar (which I don't rank very highly) and if you don't recall that was a first round tounament fight. Once he beat Allistar, he got b!tch slapped the next round in the tournament. He didn't make it far in the tournament at all. But I do like Chuck though. He has a hell of a punch. Anyone that knocks out Kevin Randleman gets a :thumbsup: from me. But PLEASE, Ricco got screwed? You've got to be sh!tting me! Nogueira won that fight decisively. I don't fvcking give points for someone shooting in and laying on the opponent throughout the WHOLE fight. Ricco is a fat slob with VERY little talent. Don't even get me started with Ricco. I do like Yves Edward though. I'll definitely give him credit. Don't get me wrong, not every Pride fighter is great. As a matter of fact, I don't know why they ask some guys back. But as a whole, I rate the Pride fighters a 10, and the UFC fighters a 2. I see no talent in the UFC. Just guys that want to fight but really bring nothing new to the table. Sh!t, UFC 54 Randy Couture choked out his opponent with a choke he stole from Nogueira (Pride fighter). And let me tell you, he wasn't even doing it right, that's why it took him three tries to finally get it. And I really like how Joe Rogan pretended that Couture just invented that choke and gave it the name "The Gator Roll". Give me a fvcking break. :roll:

K-1 is a great event with some AWESOME fighters! Michael McDonald is just fvcking AMAZING! I wish he'd learn some ground defense and enter Pride. He should do VERY well there considering he knocked out Cro Cop in K-1.
