If Pride had a BMF belt who would have earned it ?

[nonoob]

His level of competition puts Poatan's to shame.

ZERO question - those years & guys were warriors like Alex hasn't ( and won't have the honor of fighting some of the best group assembled to ever do it ... and they did it consistently through the injuries & pain sometimes with 3 fights...In A NIGHT, open-weight Tournaments against Known Killers.

Wanderlei before the 1st Cro Cop fight:

“I’m not afraid of any man on earth…I’ll fight them all.”

True BMF

 

[AmericanMMA]

Hendo

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Wandy most likely.

 

[613]

Saku by far

 

[DiazSlap]

Once. Minowa wrestlefucked him the second time

So Minowa is BJMF

 

[Joshuagilbert91]

Shogun, Cro Cop, Wand, Fedor

Alex actually DID fight in 3 fight one night tournaments in kickboxing...in his first pro fights

I always loved Pride’s sewer-cap sized championship belts

 

[cburm]

Man there's so many

 

[Hassan Mouzine]

manhoef should have gotten a shot at it, even though he had no real ground game.

imagine manhoef vs wanderlei in their prime in pride for the bmf belt

I feel like the regular Pride Belt was already a BMF belt...

 

[rearnakedchoke]

Alex Steibling

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Gomi and Kid Yamamoto

 

[MMonk]

Wand shook confirmed.
First he ever lost a staredown

You could argue the OWGP was a bit BMFesque I spose.

 

[Hog-train]

Anybody that fought in a Pride Grand Prix is automatically a BMF. Multiple fights in one night is insane. Even the Japanese cans are crazy for the beatings they took.

 

[Boomb]

Wand was actually the first name that came to my mind as well.

Pride wouldn’t have needed a gimmick belt, because their model wasn’t ppv based.
