From the middle weight and up PRIDE fighters top UFC without a doubt. Only a retard will say that Rampage ("a UFC champ") beat the PRIDE champ. The fight was very good and very competitive. Just because Rampage had only 2 UFC fights and beat weak opponents doesn not make him a UFC fighter. He is a PRIDE fighter and when asked in the interviews he always said that PRIDE fighters are tougher than UFC fighters.
Anderson Silva also fought more times in PRIDE as well as other places. IT's the UFC where he started beating the weak fighters thus easily getting a belt so he's not a classic UFC fighter either.
Heavy Weight... I don't think there is much to say here. PRIDE squashes UFC like an insect. All I have to type is: FEDOR, BIG NOG, HUNT, WERDUM, BARNETT, old CROCOP etc.
I amk certain if Werdum fought Arlovski again he would destroy him. He was too cautious thus losing a close decision. I don't have to remind any of you how Werdum basically beat the shit out of Gonzaga just couple of years ago.
I'd love to see GOMI again vs BJ. It's about time BJ gets finally knocked out.
First of all Werdum didn't dominate Gonzaga, Gonzaga was the one dominating that chump until the 3rd rd. did you even see the fight?
YouTube - Fabricio Werdum vs Gabriel "Napão" Gonzaga round 1 - Rd 1

YouTube - Fabricio Werdum vs Gabriel "Napão" Gonzaga round 3 - Rd 3
Gonzaga had him mounted and was pounding on him.. the only problem was the extremely restrictive rules of the venue; no elbows on the ground (Tht you can do in the UFC) OR kicks/knees to a downed opponent (that you could do in PRIDE) .. WTF are you supposed to do to a guy you've gotten owned and mounted then? Gonzaga just got pissed at how his hands were tied and actually GOT UP from a full mount, that's how restrictive the rules were. And Werdum did NOTHING that whole match except the 3rd round in the clinch, by when Gonzaga would already have finished him at any other venue.
Second, Gomi's not touching BJ. Maybe he should try beating UFC's B league Nick Diaz first. That and he should stick to his glass-jawed japanese cans.
As for your amazing HW lineup:
BIG NOG - looked dismal in his UFC debut against another overrated PRIDE can that he's already beaten a million times. Watch when the likes Vera and Gonzaga smash him.
Hunt - Zero ground game. Will get fukd the day he comes over to the UFC.
Werdum - Arlovski beat him, will beat him every time, and watch him get owned in his next fight too. The kindergarten leauges are gone.
Barnett - Only reason he beat Couture was roids.. he tested +ve after that fight or have you forgotten? What are his other achievements? Losing 3x to CroCop who we just saw owned twice in the UFC? Alexander Emelianenko, who is a pale lumbering shadow of his brother? While we're on it, what has Aleks done for all his fame besides being Fedor's brother?
CroCop - Need I say anything
Fedor - Can't argue with that one.
And yes, I agree that their LHW and MW divisions were better. But not the others.
