Get the Pride Shit mug.It all started on October 11, 1997 in the Tokyo Dome. This is by far the best of the best when it comes to mixed martial arts(MMA). It has the best fighter roster out of all the MMA events. For instance, it holds the greatest Heavy-Weight champion of all time in Fedor Emelianenko. It also has other great fighters like Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Josh Barnett, Mark Hunt, Wanderlei Silva, Mauricio Rua, Dan Henderson, Takanori Gomi. Also, Pride FC is great because it has rules that allow for true MMA action like kicks to the head and knees to the head on the ground.
