“Good ol’fashioned card hold cash” - Bisping

[@ProtectoroftheRealm]

FYI: the ufc does all this shit and more. In bed with the media usada and Nevada.

[@immiked4702]

😂 beat me to it

[@jaymac7203]

Lol exactly 😭😂

[@MalleusIudaeorum]

@@ProtectoroftheRealm UFC doesn’t fix fights exactly. It lets some fighters get away with blatant juicing though.

bisping casually sliding in and making the best mma content on youtube. amazing.

[@Moneyovertruth]

Pride was absolutely insane... I miss that craziness

[@Jidds]

9:44 I can’t believe the mob used to pay the fighters in “card hold” cash 😨

[@octaveschully6234]

hahaha im glad im not the only one who lost it when he said that

[@leatheryfoot6354]

I came down to see if someone had already commented.

[@Last_Chance.]

I wouldn't accept anything else.

[@winterc.2476]

I was dying when he said it lmao

[@A-1-Sawce]

Napoleon Blownapart has a really good history on Pride he recently finished up. Some awesome stuff in there, Pride was such a wild time in MMA. I do miss me them freak show fights, not even gonna lie. The soccer kicks, the pageantry, the Pride theme, all good times. Pride never die.

[@XxXFlyingArmBarXxX]

hell yea!!! his 3 part series was amazing. glad to see another napoleon fan

[@TheSlowPony77]

Its absolutely epic. Stumbled upon him by accident. The rise and fall of Connor is phenomenal too

[@boranbkk4270]

I think there is no coincidence with this Bisping video coming out now.

[@layoutman69]

That Japanese woman who would sometime do the intro's over the PA system was amazing. She could scream their names out!

[@mfc5808]

I’m glad you said it, because I was going to. Napoleon Blownapart made such incredible PrideFC videos, I’m so impressed by them. So funny, so factual, and a times so heartwarming and emotional, every MMA fan should go check them out whether they were there for the Pride days or not. That dude puts out great videos!

[@Sim0n98]

Great video Mike, I tired throwing some fists at my local Pride parade, but I was arrested for a hate crime

[@mcnally211]

If I hear the PRIDE GP intro I get hyper aggressive so I'm assuming you listened to it too & had no choice but to show them what PRIDE is really all about. 💁‍♂️I can respect it.💁‍♂️🍀🍻

Lol

[@MrSpeedyy1991]

i was maybe 8 years old when my friends uncle showed us Fedor vs randleman from vhs. Thats the fight that made me a fan of mma and i will stay as one for the rest of my life. pride was something else back in the day.

[@Khonnell66]

Pride was the absolute best fight organisation ever. It was just next level with the walk outs, music, huge crowds, iconic fighters.

[@jibberer]

I was living in Japan during the Pride heyday. Epic! I think for sure at that time, at least heavyweights, Pride was stronger than UFC. Another thing that people forget is that after his Royce Gracie fight, Sakuraba fought again on the same day against one of the top heavyweights Igor Vovchanchyn as it was a tournament, nearly submitted him as well, but eventually had to retire due to exhaustion...

[@FreefallSC]

It’s not even an opinion thing really. The Pride roster was far better than the UFCs at that time, particularly at HW and LHW where they would not have been competitive.

[@ToastedFlowers]

No they weren’t. They had roids like a mother fucker and we’re ran by the yakuza that took money from people for not throwing fights.

[@gh0rochi363]

LHW too.

[@zootjitsu6767]

Pride was defo better than the ufc. Better rules, better gloves, probably better fighter pay too

[@screwface6552]

Igor was great

[@81ghale]

You should do a whole episode just on Sakuraba. Go through him picking off the Gracie’s one by one until the best one (Rickson) seemed to always have a reason to not fight him lol. Sakuraba is a legend.

[@bdizzle7633]

Just watched the bisping documentary and from a fellow northerner got a new found respect for you mate, proper family man doing the right thing and achieving what you did with everything you came from and s*^t you went through. I could write on about it all but will just say if u do see this that you deserve everything you’ve got and will go on to pal 👍🏻

[@kennyoconnor6564]

Fedor speed and power were mind blowing. I think he’d easily take down Ngannou and arm bar him. Prime Fedor that is.

[@taraishot100]

He’s the all time greatest heavyweight of all time straight goat

[@AllAroundSleeves]

I loved hearing these Mike thank you SIR!! Have a great day and just know that so many people really enjoy the work that you do. Keep it up and have fun in England!!!

[@mcnally211]

On my workout music mix, the 04' Pride GP intro still gets me amped up! That screaming Japanese lady, the Drums the whole thing sends chills down my spine. Go listen to it & try 2 tell me I'm wrong. Ya cant. Its EPIC!

[@inthecircleoutsidethebox]

The screaming lady wasn’t Japanese. Lenne Hardt was born in Alaska, USA.

[@biggusdickus7102]

UFC has never captured the magic of prime Pride. If you didn't experience it as it happened you'll never understand from watching highlights

[@dboygamer8184]

As a kid since 2001 i started watching MMA with PRIDE til it died

[@keltongillanders5736]

Im gonna preface this with i love me some ufc. The ufc is a ppv. An event. Prime era pride. When you witnessed that, you knew you were watching a fuckin spectacle. The vibe, ambience and grandeur they created is still unrivaled. Thats the best way i can think to explain it

[@mfc5808]

Such a great video! I really appreciate you drawing attention to the PrideFC days. Saku was incredible. The Royce fight can’t be understated by saying how incredible it was; for whatever achievements he didn’t fulfill, winning that fight makes him one of the true greats on a very short list.

[@hashling8]

[@nickk7425]

I remember in the early 2000ends I was In the Marine corps and had been deployed to Japan. No cable TV of any kind so me and my roommate went out and bought all the Pride fighting championship DVDs, and we would just binge watch them. Good memories, Pride FC forever, baby!

[@todesdruff]

Awesome video, sadly was to young/uninterested at the time to witness those legendary matches live. Atleast now i have hundreds of hours of awesome content🙏

[@RichardRohlin]

Wish there had been a little more about Fedor in this video. In my book, he's the greatest fighter to never fight in the UFC, and one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Since UFC now owns all of that old Pride stuff, I'd like to see more UFC commentators acknowledging Fedor's contribution to the sport. Pride never die.

[@tjen7929]

@Shawn Nickolus you sound like a communist with your comment.

[@tjen7929]

Fedor can't fight in America because of steroid testing.

[@billlee2458]

Fedor's people and Mob wanted half of the event money. Fedor VS Randy Colture was the build up match. Even a video game put those two legends on the game cover

[@billbostabbins4262]

When I was in the Navy from 02-06 I got lucky as hell to get to experience Pride firsthand being stationed there and that shit was fucking mind blowing.

I started watching mma somewhere around 2002, 2003. Things like Sakuraba vs the Gracies, Shogun's 2004 Pride GP performance, Fedor ruling the heavyweight division with an iron fist for years and years, Wanderlei and his staredowns, the Pride Shockwave type events with match ups across all different rulesets and weightclasses, soccer kick highlights, the Japanese fighters and fans and their Bushido spirit, guys like the diet butcher and Akira Shoji, Hammer House vs Chute Boxe, etc etc etc... There were so many incredible moments during that promotions lifetime.. Absolutely mandatory viewing for every mma fan!!!

[@Pan-boyLandoSoychildDongLover]

First Pride ever saw was Pride 10 where Sakuraba dislocated Renzo’s elbow with the spinning Kimura, the brutality, the heart and class of those two, never looked at pro fighting the same.

[@-bv7645]

I love these list videos man, I love hearing you talk about these not well known stories too. Great vid Champ.

[@neverenoughguitars8276]

Sakuraba was hated by the Pride owners because he didn't do what he was told. He didn't adhere to fight fixes and even spit in the face of the big boss Sakikibara after winning a fight he was instructed to lose. Sakuraba is an absolute legend on so many levels.

[@gogokp9276]
