Unveiling the Greatest MMA Tournament EVER! 🏆

PrideFC had the best fighter walkouts

[@B0TZ]

This Tokyo Dome was better than The Sphere imo.

[@stevonwhite8933]

This was in the Saitama, but both are iconic in their own way💯 Edit: Didn’t notice they did FC 03, too. Lol.

[@itemtest1]

Those pride tournaments were like fighting movies from the late 80s and 90s. UFC needs to do those types of tournaments. Imagine if we had a tournament in lightweight division with prime Khabib Nurmagamedov, Conor McGregor, Tony Ferguson, Islam Makhachev, Rafael dos Anjos, Charles Oliveira, Dustin Poirier, Justin Gaethje, Eddie Alvarez, Edson Barboza, Anthony Pettis, Nate Diaz, Al Iaquinta, Kevin Lee, Dan Hooker, Michael Chandler. Imagine crazy hype from fans if it's in a huge arena. They could do it on separate events, just like how Pride did it 👍👍

[@m3talcor3d]

Man everything about pride was beyond epic, soundtrack, audience, fighters, japanese announcers, wish i could be there and see it live ❤❤❤

[@Adam.0777]

Fedor Emelianenko was the king of Pride 💯

日本の格闘技全盛期に地上波でPRIDEが観れた事を懐かしく思う。

[@thefullstop23]

Welcome to the GOLDEN AGE of MMA, people! When Uncle Dana brought Chuck Liddell to PRIDE FC, it was unbelievable! I wish there were "crossovers" such as this today.

[@joeswanson5486]

Ufc was behind price but now the gap between ufc and pfl is massive. Other than the LHW and HW and maybe one fc flyweight division but those are the 3 divison people aren’t big fans of

[@あえいおう-m4y]

Kazushi Sakuraba !!!!!

[@puntsize]

So much Nostalgia for me here. This was peak excitement for me in MMA. I forgot what beasts some of these guys were in their prime. Especially Rampage, and Wanderlei they were diff animals then. The UFC never got either of those guys at their best.

[@Righteoustiger56]

It’s good to see some of the young folks will be able to see how much of a beast Rampage was and the endurance for 10 min round was crazy.

[@williamRE]

They had silva at his best for a few fights

[@legit_poonslayer3961]

The intern they put in charge of this channel needs a raise

[@ivanovicsharapova2402]

Fedor and wanderlei made pride can never be on your sit while those dudes are fighting. 100% adrenaline

[@Leonidas3888]

Peak of mma. Best cards, best fighters at that time.

[@mmaaldente]

This is my favorite tournament, and Final Conflict 2003 is my favorite MMA event. This video just covers the tournament fights, but the cards were both stacked. If you're a new fan, imagine watching Rampage/Chuck and Wanderlei/Yoshida, knowing the two winners will fight 3 hours later (right after Nogueira and Crocop's Interim Championship fight). It's exponentially more exciting than having them fight 3 months later. Even if the athletic commissions today would sanction it, I just don't think many fighters would make that second walk- let alone a third. It took balls of steel, true grit, and, if in being honest, probably some strong drugs, but they all made that walk. In their 8 Grand Prix tournaments, the only fighter who won but had to step out due to an injury was Paulo Filho.

[@sergiosergio5497]

Problem I see is they gave Wand the easy path. Imagine fighting Liddel and Wand the same night. Yoshida wasn't nearly as dangerous as Liddel or even Alistair at the time.

[@mmaaldente]

@@sergiosergio5497 Yoshida was unlikely to do damage in defeat, so, in that sense, it was favorable for Wand in the tournament setting. But, at the time, Yoshida was considered VERY dangerous. Nobody respected Wand's BJJ at the time (his first fight with Yoshida helped me appreciate it), so, this was thought to be "Striker vsm Grappler." Yoshida was only 3-0, but he had 3 big wins (also his NC/Win vs. Royce). With his Gold Medal Judo and his gi, he was looked at as a potentially very dangerous matchup for any striker (Wand, Chuck, or Rampage). And, of course, the same could be said in reverse. I was sure that, if Wand won, it'd be a 60 second stomping. There's no way somebody who's never lost a fight yet is going to stand up to the danger of Wanderlei Silva in defeat. Turns out he's tough as all fuck.

[@ilianvenkov9743]

Bro they gave him Sakuraba, ain't no easy path​@@sergiosergio5497

[@go.chi7673]

Know it will never happen but the UFC should do a pride one night special with the ring & rules

[@darklights.burner]

I hate pride specifically because of the ring. U can't do mma in anything but a cage.

[@RemingtonMiles-sr9uf]

PRIDE MODE!!

[@santiagodunbar2381]

@@darklights.burnerMMA can happen in any arena there just needs to be rules based around the arena. You’re just used to seeing a cage. Rogan has thrown out the idea of a basketball court type arena with no walls/ropes just out of bounds (if a fighter backs up out of bounds the get penalized after first warning, if the round ends with someone in top control the next round starts in top control) which would honestly be the truest form of MMA, having nothing but your own skills to dictate your win. No fingers or toes in cage, no using a wall or ropes as leverage for advantageous positions just pure skill.

[@darklights.burner]

@@santiagodunbar2381 u can do whatever. Bit I'm not watching unless it's in a cage.

​@@santiagodunbar2381 it sounds horrible, the cage is 100% more realistic than a open space with invisible walls

It happened 3 times, the japanese people were upset when wanderlei KO'd him the first time, even more upset after he got KO'd second time and they wanted revenge at any cost, i mean Sakuraba was their hero, the gaijin killer, who was killed by a gaijin they didn't like that and It got worse
