I agreed with a statement that Pride fighters have made a statement in UFC, and people decided to shoot it down. If that makes me a troll, I can live with that. I like MMA, it doesn't matter if it's Pride related or not.

Anderson only fought 4 fights in Pride, yea he fought there before he fought in the UFC, but he isn't a Pride fighter in the same sense that CroCop, Nog, Shogun, Wandy, overeem, Herring, Fedor, Gomi and guys like that who fought the majority of there careers there.
By that Logic, Wandy is a UFC fighter. because he fought 3 times in the UFC before going to Pride.
Anderson is more of a journeyman who has fought all over, Japan, Brazil, Hawaii, UK and now for the UFC where he has by far had the most succsess.
