I'm tired of hearing how certain fighters in the UFC won't fight someone b/c they are their great friend outside the octagon so they would never step in it and fight them even though they are in the same weight class.
Bad blood makes for more excitement before and during the fight, not the small trash-talking that goes on right before the fight and then being best friends against afterwards.
I understand they all have to appreciate each other and the athelets they are, but you don't have to like the people you work with and are involved with and going to fight. I guess b/c of all the training camps people have where you become work otu buddies with someone and close it kinda ruins it a bit more in the UFC as far as hate.
Pride gives me feeling of more bad blood between fighters, maybe it may even be wrong b/c you get more fighters who are japenese or non-english speaking and there always is a general dis-like for someone that is not just like how you are in the world, which makes for good entertainment
