Damn right Pride FC in 2002,this was the year I got into it,and if you werent there,man you missed it, you fucked up,I dont know what the fuck you were doin,but it was probably bullshit.
PRIDE 19 :BAD BLOOD
The bad blood is referrin to Don Frye and Ken Shamrock havin mad heat w each other,although it seems like Ken would fight the world at the drop of a hat back then anyway. They had some meeting in the ring w all the fighters to hype the event but you know they just did that so they could get a scuffle,and Ken told Don hes a piece of shit,and he brings peoples families into it and hes gonna fuckin pay,and then they had to hold Don back. Box office ladies and gentlemen.
Now alot of this fight was fought in the clinch,and maybe people might find it boring for that reason,but it was a super macho war of attrition as both guys slugged each other to the body w everything they had and just kept going. Similar to Frye/Takayama but at a slower pace. At some point Ken gets his trademark heelhook,and Don stonefaces it the whole time,even tho you know he gotta be in agony. He just refuses to tap until the bell and limps back out there for rd 3 like a real man where he managed to drop Ken and win the fight by decision. If you got the DVD of this event,then you can see the backstage footage of Don crying in pain in the back,and its said he got a addiction to painkillers from this whole scenario. The two guys did respect each other after the fight though.
Also Nogueira tapped out Enson while what I assume to be yakuza surrounded the ring,and abused the referee for stopping the fight. Thats the only explanation I got for them to have the confidence to shove referees around with seemingly no resistance.
Wanderlei vs Tamura was surprisingly competitive considering the skill gap and Tamura being a smaller dude,but he eventually falls victim to a big right hand and faceplants
The BEST fight on the card is Pele the Asshole vs Carlos the OG weeaboo Newton,who eats a HARD flush knee to the face and just shakes it off like it wasnt SHIT.
(timestamped)
Carlos wins up subbing Pele the asshole,who was predictably an asshole about losin.
This card also has THE BIG CAT Tom Erickson who was obviously the GOAT if he fought more.
This absolute giga chad of a unit actually has a win via THROAT CRUSH (or rape choke) and they had to make that move illegal after he did it to Matt Skelton
I rate this card 3 out of five Fedors,even though Fedor would not start in Pride until PRIDE 21.
