Inb4 derps extrapolate Pride 1 into all of Pride history

thanks. I'm going to check it out. Gary has a ton of fun fights to watch. His fight with Fedor is one of my all time favorites (even thought it didn't go Gary's way.)

p.s. This will also no doubt turn into Pride 1 = every event they ever had.

Pride was the happy middleground between full pro wrestling and full MMA

I was literally just about to say this. Damn you

Fedor's career in shambles

Who cares. Early UFCs were fixed too. Even John McCarthy has said that.

“During the semifinal match between Oleg Taktarov and Anthony Macias, I believe I saw my first fixed fight in the UFC. Both fighters had the same manager, Buddy Albin, so I think it was decided backstage that Macias would throw the match so Oleg could advance to the finals and face Tank [Abbott] as fresh as possible. The fight went a little too smoothly for my tastes when Macias shot in and nearly fell into the guillotine choke, which he tapped out to in twelve seconds.”

“Unfortunately, this night was the second time I felt I was refereeing a fixed bout. In the semifinals, Don Frye and Mark Hall met in a rematch of their UFC 10 bout. In their first encounter Frye had beaten the piss out of Hall, who’d refused to give up. Here, though, Frye ankle-locked Hall to advance to the finals without breaking a sweat.”

“The fight struck me as odd. Frye, a bread-and-butter wrestler and swing-for-the-fences puncher, had never won a fight by leg lock, and Hall practically fell into the submission. I also knew both fighters were managed by the same guy.

I'm guessing his was the straight fight.

 

[K1MMA]

I thought this was already known.

Early days of MMA in general, PRIDE and UFC had some fixed fights.

 

[Toco]

Wow, pride exposed

 

[JohnWick]

I'm guessing his was the straight fight.

Gary's words have more worth than the words of any Sherdogger.

 

[Taric]

MMA Pre-2000 was all bells and whistles. So many fixed fights across all organizations.
UFC, PRIDE, and Pancrase.

Feel free to name all the Pride fights you think were fixed. Then we can cross reference those with the actual relevant Pride fights that are still discussed today.

Another man trying to discredit Fedor's legacy just because Silva got exposed. What a surprise...
