I got news for you genius, TUF guys ARE UFC fighters...lol.
And, when the orgs merged three years ago, Pride guys were made to look like shiat. Forrest decimated Shogun. Lesnar embarrassed Heath, Sokoudjou was exposed by Machida, Wandy lost to Chuck, Big Nog lost to Mir, etc. The only guy that had some success was Rampage, but ultimately he too a TUF winner...Forrest.
The bottom line is that the UFC was and is better than Pride, and Pride is no more. Gomi's embarrassing loss is a sweet reminder of that
oh please, you mentioned tuf fighters in a way to make them seem inferior to typical ufc fighters
if you're going to knock pride fighters for losing to them, you're going to have to do the same for your ufc heroes, and liddel lost to friggin keith jardine
heath and sokodjou? when were they elite fighters? heck sokodjou even lost in affliction, with your "logic" that makes affliction better
why do you conveniently keep forgetting that nog was heavyweight champ and he beat randy and tim sylvia, who basically owned your ufc heavyweight division for years?
when they merged, the pride fighters became ufc champs, "forget" that if it makes you feel less owned
and nobody gives a shit about 155 lb fighters, the big boys were in pride andthe faces of ufc like sylvia, arlovski, couture, liddell got owned by the best pride had to offer
