Again really if you wanted to call that fight essentially a draw I wouldnt have a problem with it but Ricco was the one who made it a non fight.
The hypocrisy is though its the UFC brand fans who obcess over the match, so desperate for it to be an example of the UFC divisions superiority. The reverse simple isnt true though, Nog winning very rarely comes up as an arguement for Pride's division being superior.
I think this tells you alot about the degree of honesty on the two sides, I mean you've always had the odd person pushing the Pride side talking bullshit but on the UFC side its always been fucking endemic on Sherdog, an endlessly tide of people latching onto any dishonest bullshit that will prop up the hype they've been sold.
