It was fight after fight after fight. None of the BS that we get with the UFC. I mean seriously, how many clips of the black and white interviews are we going to see over and over again of Hendo and Silva during the PPV before the bell to the main event actually rings (I know there's no bell, but there isn't even a Big John to say "lets get it on", so I didn't know what to put)[/quote] So Pride managed to broadcast all the fights on the card in less then 3 hours? WOW...they UFC really needs to cutt out all the BS interview clips. Those black and white clips should be used as a marketing tool to get people to purchase the event. Why air them during the pay per view Broadcast, if you are watching the broadcast then you obvilusly already purchased it and probably have seen those clips endless amounts of time. I pay for the fights, not the clips, not Rogan....Just the fights Not saying that PRIDE was better then the UFC, but the Since purchasing PRIDE the UFC could have used some of their production techniques and other things that made PRIDE succesfull. All they did by purchasing Pride was get about 25% of PRIDE fighters in the UFC. The UFC should have combined the great aspects of Pride with the Great aspects of the UFC and created an even better product. [quote comment=”331088″]PRIDE 33 was less than 3 hours, I believe.

The UFC has a 3 hour slot, I would guess PRIDE pay per views were longer. I ask because eventually I would love to see the UFC start airing the entire program but thats probably just wishful thinking. As for the Aurelio fight, he unleashed a nasty ground n pound on Claudillo, that fight was stopped prematurely but at least Aurelio looked good for once in the UFC.

I really wish that we got to see the Florian/Din Thomas fight play out. That would have been a great indicator of where Kenny's skills are at, obviously since it was his most recent fight... I think that Kenny's Mark DeLagratti Muay Thai skills will be the deciding factor in this fight. Kenny is the more skilled BJJ fighter, but Joe has been training with BJ Penn, so that should be neutralized. I wouldn't be surprised if this fight ended by ref stoppaged due to a Kenny FloBow.
