Favorite MMA event

[McNerny]

Hey everyone,

I was just curious as to what your favorite MMA event is. I would have to say my favorite is the UFC with Pride coming in close second. What's yours?

I definitly have to say UFC. Pride is okay, but there are a few things that I have problems with. One of them being that since they use a ring similar to a boxing ring whenever they get too close to the edge the ref relocates them in that exact position in the center of the ring. I don't like that, and I prefer the cage in UFC since it keeps the fighters in the ring and it prevents the need to relocate the fighters.

Also, I don't like how you can hit a downed opponent just about anywhere in Pride. Now I know that in a survival situation that would okay, but this is a sport and not survival, I personally don't see the necessity to do that, which is why I like UFC. Personally, I wouldn't be able to stomp somebody on the ground (at least not right now, maybe if I was training in MMA my views would be different) just because I think it's dishonest. Now make no mistake, if I was in a life or death situation (or something that may have seemed like it at the time) I would stomp like crazy because I don't want to be able to be attacked by that same person again once they got up.

Another problem with Pride is the gloves that they use. In UFC the gloves are smaller which allows people to get chokes in and better mobility with the hands whereas the gloves in Pride are thicker making it harder to do certain things.

But this is all biased, I have only seen 1 Pride event (Pride FC: Bushido Vol. 1) and I've seen many UFC events so...ya. there's my opinion.

i like pride cause you can stomp and the fighters are better, i dont like the ring and the bad standup times

If Pride allowed elbows on the ground, I'd have no reason to watch UFC.

PRIDE = Better fighters and better cards. Why because they pay their fighters millions where the UFC has been known to pay $500.00. The money attracts the best from all over.

wow that big of a cash diffrence? why do any of the top athletes compete in UFC?
