Revisiting Rampage vs Randleman

What an atmosphere.

Nothing like it before or since. There were always - and there remains - debates over the caliber of fighters and the quality of fights PRIDE versus UFC, but in terms of production and atmosphere, it wasn't even a contest. 40,000+ Japanese fans regularly, Bas and Quadros then Bas and Mauro on the mics (with guest fighter commentators all the time like Maurice Smith, Ken Shamrock, Mark Coleman, Royce Gracie, Rampage, Mario Sperry, Heath Herring, Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, etc.), the fireworks and music, the ring announcer, the silence during the action and then the roars at the big moments. PRIDE was one of a kind.
