this card featured some of the best fighters in the world, there was more talent last night than the last 5 ufc's combined, but the fights were pretty boring, hendo and vitor was a snoozer, shogun and randleman stunk, i love watching fedor so that didnt stink but it wasnt a great fight, the barnett fight was ok..but i dunno i hated the rules, it wasnt even like watching true mma, how many situations were there when some one coulda dropped serious elbows or knees to the head...ALOT..the next time pride has an event in US they should either allow elbows, or just keep their fights in japan where they can use their own rules because this event was A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT :thumbsdown:

I really glad to hear so much dissapointment. I was so pissed i couldnt get it but now Im kinda glad I saved the money. Ive already seen Fedor and Shogun's fights on dailymotion anyway

I agree. With the US rules it made it less interesting. I think they should keep it in japan

naw they need to just have it in a place like hawaii.. where its not under nevada state's rules... rumble on the rock is in hawaii and u can kick and knee in the head on the ground...

i think it would be cool... an outdoor pride event.. in hawaii...

i enjoyed the fights thought they were great but thats just my opinion

 

[Stonewall44]

Seeing all those fights live & the excitement of seeing Pride's first U.S show was overall satisfying, but I expected the Vitor/Henderson fight to be more explosive.

i love pride, but these rules were ridiculous, the fighters looked hesitant and uncomfortable adjusting to the new rules, it simply wasnt true mma, it was submission wrestling with punches..i really hope the rules change

 

[kamikaze145]

Those fights were awesome, Nakamura's fight was sweet, the Lawler fight was sweet, Fedor fight was good, Shogun fight was good, Baroni was good, the Vitor- Henderson was a little boring but it had a good first round, The fights were the greatest in terms of like absolute wars but they were very exciting

I know dude I was expecting more out of it but what can you do :dunno:

I agree. This is why Silva vs Liddell (if it happens) should not take place in the U.S. Everytime a fighter took the other down the ref would yell, No Elbows!!!, No Knees!!!. For Pride fighters its become instinctual to throw elbows and knees. I think it threw some of them off their game. I for one could tell especially during the Fedor/Coleman. Coleman would do a lazy shoot and Fedor would sprawl and have him in the perfect position to knee him and the ref would yell No Kneeing!!! You could tell it threw Fedor off as soon as the ref told him not to knee Coleman.
