Pride. The fighters in Pride are the best in the world expecially at the higher weights. I also like the ring better than the cage. The ring makes the viewing better. How many times in UFC is the camera behind the cage with a lousy shot?
One thing that is funny and stupid about Pride camera work is right in the middle of great action they cut to the audience. How stupid is that.

This is a stupid subject because people dont give UFC a chance. They think Pride has the best fighters and they could come over here and beat UFC fighters. I totally disagree because UFC has better athletes, and better all around fighters. They are younger and in better shape than Pride fighters. I wish they had a tournament with Pride, our best fighters against theirs. But in the cage and UFC rules and you have to make weight because pride can fight with 800 pound guys against 300 pound guys. I have watched Pride a couple of times and is so stupid for me to watch. I hate seeing them on the ground trying to fight because of the stupid ropes. UFC looks better and is better. Plus Pride has no rules so they couldn't do the things they do over here they couldn't adapt. This is my opinion so judge it how you would like to. I love UFC. Never will stop loving UFC. Cant wait till UFC 65 and the next reality show UFC 5.

I think all fighting orgs have good fighters and bad fighters. I like that the UFC uses an octagon cage where pride uses a ring for boxing which makes it difficult for using wrestling moves. I dont know why they dont allow elbows in pride when they allow kicks to the head when their down. That is more dangerous than getting elbowed. So far, Pride has better heavyweights, and until fighters from different orgs start fighting each other, then we will see who the best fighter in their weight class is.

Pride by far, better fighters, better and more fights on PPV, the talent is way higher all around, where as the UFC has good fighters but not nearly as many high caliber ones as pride
I love the UFC to though, it would be easy for ufc to steal the show with some rule changes( kicking and kneeing to the headon the ground) and if they would do a tournament setting, but in order to do that they have to have more then 5 top fighters at any givin weight class to enter and they just don't have the dept, dana needs to fork out some dough, UFC has a **** ton of money so i guess we can only point and danna and ask WTF!!!

Right now I have to go with Pride, because of the quality of the fighters. Wanderlei Silva and Mirko Cro-Cop are without peer in MMA.
However, the UFC is rapidly catching up and my answer could change at any time. The production values are certainly higher in the UFC. They also have their Ultimate Fighter TV show as a way to find new, up and coming talent. And fighters like GSP and Matt Hughes are pretty damn impressive. If Pride has someone in the 180 range that can take on Hughes, I'd love to see him make the attempt.
And the UFC is booming. Did you see that crowd at the Staples Center? MMA is the most popular combat sport in the USA at this point. Boxing can't touch it.

Pride is the best and largest mma organization in the world. They fill 40,000 plus stadiums, where as ufc doesn't usually pull half that. The talent is also a lot better due to the fact that the fighters get paid more than twice as much, so everyone wants to fight there. I love ufc, and i hope they continue to grow. All in all pride is definitely the top mma there is right now.

Pride.
The level of talent is much much higher. Only the top top guys at the ufc are able to compete in pride which draws talent from all over the world.
UFC is like a regular season game, pride is like the superbowl.

I like UFC, but pride has less rules and that is always a cool thing

I love the ufc and I can get more involved with their fighters because I see more of them. But I think just as far as watching the fights... Pride is better
