PRIDE's heavyweight division was the most skilled heavyweight division ever and one of the most skilled divisions anywhere
Basic summary for people who forgot
Cro Cop - K-1 legend, MMA legend
Kharitonov - Boxing Champ, K-1 competitor, Elite MMA
Werdum - ADCC champ, Elite MMA
Barnett - Catch wrestling god, Elite MMA
Nog - BJJ great, Excellent boxing, legendary MMA
Hunt - K-1 champ, Very good MMA
Coleman - Olympic level wrestling, PRIDE GP and UFC champ
Fujita - Almost an Olympic wrestler, Elite pro wrestler
Fedor - Sambo legend, Ranked Judoka, God level MMA
PRIDE heavyweights were not only elite MMA fighters but had supreme skills in at least 1 combat sport
Compare this to the UFC
Micocic - Golden gloves champ (LOL) and College wrestler
That African Guy - Nothing and gases in 3 minutes
Cain - the son of Mexican farmers..Huge and good stamina but what else is there? Yeah he wrestled in college but who didn't ?
The "Fedor didn't evolve arguement" gaff that people keep repeating is just plain wrong
Fedor had nowhere to evolve, he was part of one of the most highly skilled divisions in history IMO.
