I only got into mma in 2012 so I don't know much about PRIDE other than the big fights that everyone talks about (but I haven't seen lol)

After watching Nog vs Cro Cop on the UFC YouTube channel I was pretty impressed

Could you lot suggest good fights to watch? Exams finish in a bit and then I'll have a lot of spare time to watch them haha
 
Bob Sapp vs Yamamoto
Bob Sapp vs Tamura
Kharitonov vs LA Giant
Giant Silva vs Sentoryu
Giant Silva vs Heath Herring

Obviously an important fight, and huge at the time. But the fight in itself is probably not one you're gonna want to show your friends and go: "yeah, that's a great fight".
 
Shogun 2005 GP run
Crowds were better
No Lay and Pray
No Wall and Stall
Almost no steroid testing


oh and Fedor is GOAT
 
Some horrible suggestions in this thread.

Don Frye vs. Takayama.
Shogun vs. Nogueira.
Nogueira vs. Kharitonov.
Jens Pulver vs. Gomi.
Wanderlei Silva vs. Dan Henderson 1
Kharitonov vs. Alexander Emelianenko
Fedor Emelianenko vs. Cro Cop.
Wanderlei Silva vs. Yoshida 1 and 2
Wanderlei Silva vs. Rampage 1 and 2
Nogueira vs. Bob Sapp (Not a joke, YOU HAVE to watch this one)
Shogun vs. Overeem 1.
Chuck Liddell vs. Rampage
Wanderlei Silva vs. Guy Mezger.
Fujita vs. Ken Shamrock.
Fujita vs. Mark Kerr.
Sakuraba vs. Renzo Gracie

OP - Do you have 3 hours to kill?

Just watch the PRIDE Fighting Decade documentary. It's basically a recap of the company over 10 years and details its history, the fighters and the big matches. It's an excellent overview of the company while being depressing that it's over.

Pride held tournaments that concluded with the winner fighting twice in one night. Suggest fedor-crocop silva-Rampage. Both fights
 
There are so many incredible, incredible fights. I suggest you get the PRIDE anthologies on dvd. They are bundles of five events and you can pretty much get every event in order.

Don Frye vs. Yoshihiro Takayama is a must. A MUST! It will blow your mind if you never seen it.
 
Fights you need to watch:
Takada vs. Rickson Gracie 1 & 2
Takada vs. Kyle Sturgeon
Takada vs. Mark Coleman
Takada vs. Alexander Otsuka
Takada vs. Royce Gracie
Takada vs. Mirko Cro Cop
 
Ive seen Sapp vs Nog and Diaz vs Gomi....good fights

You should watch actual entire events if you can. The pre-fight show was always entertaining.
Anything from 2003 to 2005 is guaranteed to be awesome.

Pride Shockwave 2004 gets my vote.
Or maybe Final Conflict 2005.
 
Rampage Jackson vs Murillo Ninja Rua
Rampage Jackson vs Arona
Rampage Jackson vs Chuck Lidell
Kharitonov vs Nogueira
Nogueira vs Josh Barnett
Takanori Gomi vs anyone from Chute Boxe
Mario Sperry early fights
Any BTT vs Chute Boxe fights
Crazy Horse fights
Alexander Emelianenko
Of course, Don Frye vs Takayama
Yoshida vs Wanderlei Silva
Wanderlei Silva vs Mark Hunt
...
Fuck it, just watch everything!
 
Pride Final Conflict 2005, Pride Total Elimination 2003, Pride Final Conflict 2003. My favourites.
