I'm another guy here who does MMA and is a fan too. I think the quality of the fighters and the fights broadcast at Pride in general are far better. Last I saw there guys got paid quite a bit more so they attracted a higher caliber of fighters. Every time I see a UFC guy go over there he gets creamed. GSP is one of the only ones I think would hold his own.
The difference is you see a much more balanced game between striking and technical grappling. They use ropes, not a cage so if they get to the edge of the ring in a ground war, they stop and reset in the middle in the same position. They get more time to work on the ground but they do get stood up if it's a boring stalemate.
And... they have Fedor. He is the Tyson of MMA without the basketcase brain.
