Very arguable, but I’d have to vote for the RING 99 King of Kings Tourney.

These shows were next level entertainment. It’s sad watching the dogshit cards of amateur kickboxing or wall and stall dry humping we have 90% of the time now.

Pride was the best time-era to be a fight fan!

Fedor vs Nogueira

Fedor vs Cro Crop

The Saku destruction of the Gracies and Vitor

Wand vs Saku

Wand vs Rampage

Not too mention The Shogun era..

Hendo

Nick vs Gomi (granted was in American)

Igor.. Colman.. Randleman.

Carlos Newton

Young Anderson

Diet Butcher..lol

Prime Bas on the mic

Freak show fights… round robin tournaments…
And everything in between

Nothing will ever top those fights or fight roster

Miss me some Pride!

The Golden Age of MMA.

The Pride events were epic with large than life characters. The events had such a big, important feel to them.

Pride’s OWGPs were pretty entertaining also.
