The holiday season always reminds me of the glory days of Japanese MMA and the much-hyped New Years Eve events that the Pride FC organization always used to hold. The days of Pride are long gone, but the memories of that unique era with pyro-show openings and fighter introductions remain.
In human nature, variety is the spice of life and with the modern era of weight classes and individual event fight card’s there is one thing that Pride delivered that I truly miss most of all, The Tournament.
Pride held eight tournaments in it’s history and they delivered some of the toughest, most compelling mixed martial arts matches we have ever seen. Here is my power ranking of Pride tournaments.
Happy Holidays to everyone!
