Pffft... Pride was terrible, 2016 join date.... Yeah, so bad it dominated the UFC for a decade and produced some of the most memorable MMA battles in it's history. Fucking stupd post if I ever seen one... or a thousand as is the case since it's sherdog.
Just take pride rules, add elbows on the ground... and yer better off.
Yellow cards and deductions for shit like Starnes/Quarry, the addition of knees/grounded to keep wrestlers on edge, and keeping elbows would lead to better shit.
How would that be a bad idea?
