Top 10 Pride fighters of all time (1997-2007)

[kikikhan]

This is the worst rankings list in the history of rankings list.

Explain. I call it a realistic list. Now you explain why I'm wrong.

 

[Yaram]

no brainer

1. Fedor Emilianenko
2. Wanderlei Silva
3. Big Nog

 

[10000 Days]

Chute Box Style, the rivalry between teams.

The judges, the referees, the chest camera...did i mention the rules?

K1 vs Pride.

Hammer House vs Chute Boxe vs Brazilian Top Team was the bomb back then

 

[Taric]

Ricardo Arona (9-3) In Pride....

Paulo Filho 8-0 in PRIDE.

 

[ironfist05]

the top ten I'd say (no order):

Fedor, Shogun, Wand, Minotauro, Gomi, Hendo, Cro Cop, Filho, Sakuraba, Rampage

six more: Coleman, Rogerio, Arona, Hansen, Barnett, Misaki

the top ten I'd say (no order):

Fedor, Shogun, Wand, Minotauro, Gomi, Hendo, Cro Cop, Filho, Sakuraba, Rampage

six more: Coleman, Rogerio, Arona, Hansen, Barnett, Misaki

I would drop Filho for someone else, he wasn't really one of the big names in Pride, his training partners Arona and Lil Nog were bigger names in Pride. Filho was kind of under the radar till the very end of Pride.

The other 9 are for sure who I think of when I think of Pride, maybe Barnett over Filho.

 

[UFCWand1317]

1. Fedor

2. Minotauro

3. CC

4. Coleman

5. Igor

6. Wanderlei

7. Shogun

8. Hendo

9. Rampage

10. Sakuraba

Your 3-5 people r in terrible position. No way Igor or Coleman r above wand, shogun, and hendo....

U have wanderlei sixth....umm yea enough said about that....if it was all time mma rankings wand could me that low but in a pride rankings list sixth....Come on Man!

U have Igor fifth his resume is the weakest of ur ten easily.

 

[Glove]

Paulo Filho 8-0 in PRIDE.

Thats a great call there as i had completely forgotten about him.

 

[10000 Days]

^
I used to be confused with Filho and Arona lol

 

[TheComebackKid]

Just lol at Wand above Hendo, Nog and Shogun. Him and CC don't belong in the same sentence with those guys.

You do realize Wanderlei put on an 18 fight win streak in Pride, right? And even then it took a heavyweight to beat him in decision that was debatable.

Show the man some hespect.

Igor was considered nr. 1 HW for a time, Coleman was too. Other fighters are inferior because of that.

I ranked the most accomplished Pride HWs followed by MWs and Sakuraba.

 

[TheComebackKid]

As I think about it, Wanderlei may just be the #1 Pride fighter ever. Look at the stats:

Wanderlei Silva

Pride Record: 22-4(18-0-1 at one point), 72% finishing percentage

Pride Titles: Pride MW Champion(4 defenses), Pride GP MW Champion

Notable Wins: Rampage Jackson 2x, Kazushi Sakuraba 3x, Dan Henderson, Ricardo Arona, Guy Mezger, Yuki Kondo, Kazuhiro Nakamura


Fedor Emelianenko

Pride Record: 14-0-1, 71% finishing percentage

Pride Titles: Pride HW Champion(3 defenses), Pride GP HW Champion

Notable Wins: Antonio Nogueira 2x, Mirko Filipovic, Mark Hunt, Heath Herring, Semmy Schilt, Kevin Randleman, Mark Coleman 2x




Something also to keep in mind. Wanderlei only lost twice at 205lbs. The guys that beat him, Arona & Hendo, also lost to him.

 

[Taric]

Thats a great call there as i had completely forgotten about him.

Filho was the uncrowned 2006 WW GP winner. It's often forgotten about, but he had an amazing PRIDE career. Paulo made his opponents look like scrubs.

He was often called mini-Arona
They were close friends so it just made it that much funnier.
