They just use unified MMA rules now. It's essentially just the Japanese feeder org to the UFC now. In 2015 UFC basically bought them. They are still independently owned by Japanese folks but their media rights and assets are UFC-controlled.From 1998 to 2000, the promotion changed its rules to resemble other mixed martial arts promotions.
What's with all the equivocation and use of filler words like 'essentially' or 'basically'? Most of what you said isn't even true and then you contradicted yourself immediately afterwards. If Pancrase is a feeder organization to the UFC they are the worst feeder organization in history as the UFC has signed so very few Japanese fighters, and most of them didn't come directly from Pancrase. Now LFA and CES MMA, those are feeder organizations, and great ones at that, as a lot of fighters have come directly to the UFC from there, specifically released from their contracts and allowed to sign freely with the UFC or allowed to fight on the Contender Series to try to get a UFC roster spot. And there is no such thing as 'basically' buying something, you either buy it or you don't. Especially when you then immediately say that they are independently owned in the next sentence. Lots of MMA, kickboxing, muay thai, grappling and other combat sports promotions are broadcast on UFC Fight Pass just like Pancrase. It doesn't imply ownership. You clearly had an agenda with your post, but it's essentially and basically full of nonsense.They just use unified MMA rules now. It's essentially just the Japanese feeder org to the UFC now.

Fight Pass has tons of Pancrase fights. Some are all-time great fights.
That's how I type on messageboards, where the grammar nazis are at a minimum but every now and again one rears their ugly head. As in: "Essentially you are human, but basically you are a turd." Also, paragraphs.What's with all the equivocation and use of filler words like 'essentially' or 'basically'?
The difference between official and de facto. What other Japanese organizations feed tons of prospects into the UFC? None. Just because Pancrase isn't feeding fighters by the dozens into UFC right now in 2019 doesn't mean they won't in the future.Most of what you said isn't even true and then you contradicted yourself immediately afterwards. If Pancrase is a feeder organization to the UFC they are the worst feeder organization in history as the UFC has signed so very few Japanese fighters, and most of them didn't come directly from Pancrase.
Japanese feeder org. Both you stated above are American. Comprehension bitch.Now LFA and CES MMA, those are feeder organizations, and great ones at that, as a lot of fighters have come directly to the UFC from there, specifically released from their contracts and allowed to sign freely with the UFC or allowed to fight on the Contender Series to try to get a UFC roster spot.
Again, the difference between official and de facto.And there is no such thing as 'basically' buying something, you either buy it or you don't. Especially when you then immediately say that they are independently owned in the next sentence.
I'm guessing you just want to argue with someone.Lots of MMA, kickboxing, muay thai, grappling and other combat sports promotions are broadcast on UFC Fight Pass just like Pancrase.

Someone had to explain to you what a feeder organization actually is by example because you clearly don't know or pretended not to know.Japanese feeder org. Both you stated above are American. Comprehension bitch.
De Facto, when there are no facts on evidence and you yourself stated this. Right.Again, the difference between official and de facto.
Once in a while I do, especially when someone is providing disinformation.I'm guessing you just want to argue with someone.
If we wait long enough maybe some of the things you suggested may actually happen!Pancrase and UFC are getting closer and closer by the day, and you can't understand this because you're an annoying nerd that doesn't matter so your opinion is based upon nothing but what you read on the internet. Maybe I'm privvy to information you're not?
Sorry man, I get annoyed at nerds that come out of left field to "argue the rules of risk" over something that doesn't matter either way. There's certain people out there that are trying their hardest to turn every messageboard on the internet into /pol.@JimGunn @Communion
guys let's not fight on the net..we can get a stroke or something like that when we fight on the net..all to protect our giant ego..lots of forum members have been dying recently...
