Bring Back A Fighter

[DougieJones]

I watched PRIDE and quite enjoyed their entrances SIR

I just dont think its the end of the world that UFC continues with their own identity rather than to copy something else.

I just want crazy spectacle, its what drew me to ufc in the first place... albiet it was a different kind of 'spectacle' lol. But we aint getting semi-insane people who may or may not have active arrest warrents fiighting each other again so we gotta change the entertainment a little bit to compensate

naw mean my sherbrother?

 

[DougieJones]

"please build that extremely expensive levitating ramp way that Pride had and ship it to every arena you do shows in"

UFC: Ok

"ugh i mean that IS the exact one that they used,but it still looks kinda stupid to me now,in 2023. UFC cant do anything right,PRIDEFC foreva"

bro honestly how many people you think watched pride that watch UFC nowadays? Like MAYBE 30%? and drop that by 5% in another 5 years probably, so who the fuck even gives a shit if it sort of seems like PRIDE?

Dougie gets it.

 

[DougieJones]

Imagine this guy at age 26.

5 years plus he would take the titles in at least 3 divisions and hold them up for half a decade so he is banned sorry

 

[DougieJones]

Dougie gets it.

That seems to be the total reasoning behind the entrances is it not?

"PRIDE had awesome entrances,why dont UFC have PRIDE like entrances?? wahh"

I think UFC thinks what you just said and doesnt bother w em for that reason.

"I stopped watching UFC cos their entrances dont have rockets and nuclear explosions" - Said no one ever.

 

[DougieJones]

I can't believe no one has said old school JDS or Cain yet.

Prime for prime they both beat Francis and gane

has it been 5 years for them? damn....

I mean I started w boxing and mid 90s UFC,so Im just accustomed to bare bones blood and guts. I loved Pride's presentation,truly. But UFC is a american based company,and it would be pretty forced for them to start doing that,and it wouldnt be appreciated by most watching anyway.

 

[HHJ]

Jesus just admit it would be awesome ya bastad lmao

I dont think they should force it to please a small minority,no. I think its fine what they are doing. When both Pride and UFC were around,I appreciated the contrast,and enjoyed both kind of entrances. I like to see the camera on the guy before they enter where the crowd is. You never got to see that in Pride

 

[DougieJones]

SEE

I said it

If UFC did it,fans would just shit on it and say Prides' was better, do it like how pride did it! Whatever the fuck that even means.

you think fans would complain about hot ladies dancing around?

I'm starting to think you don't own a doghouse...

I grew up watching boxing too so I hear what you're saying.

 

[HHJ]

Dude they used to do pyro for Tito so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch niw would it?

They did and stopped cos it was very expensive and not worth the money. Again,some fighters would look out of place getting that stuff.

I dont think UFC should try to copy PRIDE,they have their own thing going. Besides if someone wanted an entrance with hot ladies dancing around,UFC would let them do it.

UFC doesnt do shit like that because they are

His last fight was in 2020 but Evan Dunham was a great fighter. BJJ black belt, one hell of a boxer, good wrestling. He has landed the most significant strikes in the history of lightweight division.

fought dariush to a draw and has wins over gleison tibau, Ross Pearson, and Joe lauzon.

Philippou switched from pro boxing to MMA at 28. Still did reasonably well in UFC. What if he dedicated himself to MMA at an earlier age?

Phillopou switched from pro boxing to MMA at 28. Still did reasonably well in UFC. What if he dedicated himself to MMA at an earlier age?

with these rules he would take the skills he had in his prime with him to age 26, so he's already have a damn good striking base (theoretically)

lol You guys know im right. You just dont like that im right.

There is nothing UFC could do to please you guys. They could spend a billion dollars on an entrance.

"that shit sucked..pff WOW, bring back pride plz"

If you are talking 'you guys' as hard-core mma fans/sherdoggers you may be right. But I would love it (as long as it was done proper and trashy lol)

Know what they could do?
They could let the fighters dress like fighters, and give them a fuckin sparkler to carry to the cage with them ffs lol.
