Can't believe it's already been 11 years since the OWGP. Pride gave us so many incredible fights. This is one of the tournaments that really stood out:

A great HL by Pacquiaoshiet
 
Back when MMA didn't need Conor McGregor to be magical:

 
I personally thought 03 MW, 04 HW, 05 MW and 05 LW tournaments were all better than this one as a whole
 
Don't forget Bushido LW and WW tournament.

05 LW tournament being the Bushido one. Didn't think I needed to clarify. I thought the WW tournament was good as well, but I actually liked 06 OWGP more.

for me personally, it was 05 MWGP, 04 HW, 05 LW, 03 MW, 06 OWGP, 2000 OWGP, then WW.

All were amazing, I just thought some were better than others.

The opening intro to the 06 OWGP final round was perhaps my favorite promo/intro for an event ever though
 


If i knew how to embed the video I would, but this is it. It literally gives me chills to this day.

Ah, i guess its as easy as posting the link

Not paying attention, my bad.

I was happy Crocop won the OWGP, but his path to the title wasn't exactly the hardest, heh.

You're right. You couldn't just post the link before. I remember someone hacking the servers a while back because posters said some mean things about Lesnar.
 
So beautiful *tears up*

Hope Rizin gets bigger and better so we can make some more memories like this.

I was bummed Kang didn't win the WW tourney
 
The way it ended with Crocop with the belt, crying while confetti was falling was magical. Great memories.
 
What could have been...
