PRIDE was then taken to a new level. Pride
10 saw the clash of Kazushi
Sakuraba
against Renzo Gracie, Pride 13 saw an incredible
number of KO’s and a fantastic main event and of course Pride 19
saw the fight 6 years in the making….
Don Frye
vs Ken Shamrock
. While the early Prides may have lacked something,
from Pride 10 onwards every event was one to remember. Featuring
fighters of the caliber ofIgor Vovchanchin
, Minitaouro Noguiera
, Vanderlei Silva
, Fedor Emelianenko
, Mark Coleman and Heath Herring.

Wow!! Is this the best event ever??
Probably. Pride 13 is know as the night
of knockouts and short exciting fights.
The only average fight is Yasuda vs
Satake. Coleman
vs Allen Goes rocks, Henderson vs Renzo Gracie is
amazing and Igor Vovchanchin
vs Tra Tellingman is
unbelievable. But it is the main event that
rules.
Kazushi
Sakuraba
vs Vanderlei Silva
. This
is one of the most brutal fights ever and is
made
better if you have seen the two fight other
people before (Pride 8,10+12 are good to watch).
They really are two of the best fighters around
and this fight lives up to all the expectation
and the
hype.

Pride 19 is a fantastic event with both
Heavyweight Champion
Minitauro
Noguiera
and Middleweight Champion Vanderlei Silva
involved in exciting fights. Carlos Newton vs Jose Pele Landi
is also
a great matchup. But what makes the event
is the biggest matchup since Sak v Silva
Ken Shamrock
vs Don Frye
. The match
that was 6 years in the making. Both fought
and won in the early days of the UFC. Shamrock
was a superfight champion, Frye 2x tournament
winner but somehow they never faced each other.
Both wanted the fight as they despised the
other.
However Shamrock and Frye then
went into Pro
Wrestling (Shamrock with the WWF,
Frye to Japan) but
their hatred never stopped. When Frye
returned to MMA
at Pride 16 this fight was always on the cards.
Fans
were divided tensions were high in the battle
of 2 of MMA's
greatest legends. Just Check out the Staredown!!

Vanderlei Silva
vs Jerrel Venetiaan,
Gary Goodridge vs Lloyd Van Dams,
Ernesto Hoost vs Semmy Schilt, K-1 Rules
Don Frye
vs Jerome Le Banner, K-1 Rules
Bit of a let down after Shockwave. Jackson

there are a couple of others but so
soon after Shockwave all the good
guys were resting.
Kevin Randleman vs Michiyoshi Ohara
Guy Mezger vs Norihisa Yamamoto
Anderson Silva vs Alexander Otsuka
Paulo Filho vs Akira Shoji
Heath Herring vs Iouri Kotchkine
Mario Sperry vs Andrei Kopylov
Quinton Jackson vs
Igor Vovchanchyn
Ryan Gracie vs Shungo Oyama
Decent event. Vanderlei Silva's
fight is good and Nogueira is back. Randleman vs Yamamoto is quite
exciting but the best fight is
Fedor Emelianenko
vs Heath Herring in the Heavyweight
Elimination fight. Truly one of the biggest
beat downs ever. Sakuraba
vs Arsene sucks.

he is going to kick his ass, Vanderlei
steps in the ring and he wants to brawl!!!
Big shocks in other fights and also great KO's and
subs. This event has it all.
