I miss pride as much as the next guy....
just wish everyone that was fighting in pride hadn't scattered all over the place....
I think Dana should have kept pride in tact when he bough it and just called it "UFC east" and kept a two title system going with occasional super fights every 9 months or so
That's what they said he was going to do when they bought it. If they did that MMA would be better than ever right now. They could have just kept rotating fighters between the two organizations and have a grand prix in Japan every year. But nah, they had to destroy it and scatter some of the world's best talent, and a lot of those guys haven't fought since, which sucks.
He was blowing smoke up all our asses and everyone fell for it. That's why I hope Dream actually reclaims what Pride lost. As long as they avoid the Yakuza bullshit, they should be fine.
