Wow, you newbs to MMA are quick to jump on Griffin, Jardine, Sanchez and Koschecks nuts, but have no idea what the guys that have been around for a while have done.  All I see in this forum is talk about the damn UFC.  UFC sucks!  Pride was where it was at.  Dana White is a slave driver paying his fighters shit money for shittier fights.

I've watched the UFC for quite some time, and I'm also watched some of Pride.  I'm not a TUF newbie!  I'm a fan of fighters from both organizations.  But Pride's fighters have major issues adapting to the cage and UFC rules.  Whether you wanna admit it or not, alot of the Pride powerhouses took roids and there off them now.  That can definitely make a difference.  I'm still a fan of Cro Cop, but he's gotta work on his ground game and mix it up some to be successful.

The problem with Cro Cop is, in Pride he could corner his opponents, in the ring. He can't do that in a cage, his opponents will just keep dodging him. His style is not good for the UFC. However, in a ring he is dangerous.

I do agree about the roids, Pride fighters were notorious for that, but the stable of fighters was WAYYYYYYY better than the UFC.  Its sad to see MMA going in the direction it is going.
