I don't really think UFC is trying to bury the pride guys. Fact is, even if they were, nobody will ever buy that UFC is actually that much better than Pride until one of their guys beats Fedor. I was waiting for someone to bring this point up. PRIDE has yet to unleash its monster, the real life Ivan Drago, Fedor. I think that if UFC does a good enough job hyping him up, they could do some damn good business. Unfortunately, Fedor doesn't quite have the charisma of Rampage. |

I disagree with the original topic. Two former Pride guys are UFC Champions, Rampage has done quite well and Cro Cop didn't look motivated at all in his second fight. I believe a motivated Cro Cop (which he has said he will do better in 2008) is still very dangerous.

I think it remains to be seen if Wand will ever be the same after what Cro Cop did to him in the 2006 Pride Open Weight Grand Prix. I have never seen such a brutal beating put on a skilled fighter. I actually got sick to my stomach watching it, and I love MMA.

youtubers sometimes make the dudes on sherdog look tolerable. Either the intense Liddellamanaics, or the PRIDE followers that will never give UFC any credit (with that said, I love PRIDE, but I Love UFC equally, its the pure elietism that drives me nuts)
