Compared to UFC yeah, but we're just analyzing one fighter in this particular thread. PRIDE had the benefit of a variety of colorful characters that the Japanese knew how to market during that time period. Plus, the Grand Prix tournaments every year were amazing. To this day the PRIDE GP had the best tournaments in mma. Every other tourney, especially Bellator, is utter garbage.PRIDE in its prime was all excitement. Not just one fighter.
Because he wasn't a shit talker like conor.Anderson did NOT draw the eyeballs though..
Please can you shoop Cowboys head onto this:
Edit: Just start a new thread! You're a mod now dude.
Carn bro as if you didn't have a chuckle at that?I have a pretty high bar for how far I will go with a shoop. But I won';t disrespect Cowboy that much to infer that he took a dive.
Avoiding Gaethje says it all.
Love him or hate him he brings the attention and the excitement. Biggest star ever in the sport and he earned it. KO's, incredible fight hype, and every fight is always memorable..
Mike Tyson & Loma are waaaaaaaay more exciting.
Loma does super high level shit and is exciting ... thats super super rare.
High level fighters are boring as fuck, but Lomachenko is different.
Tyson is a boxer..
MMA Is fighting. Floyd would have been murdered by Conor in that cage last night..
