Im mean i watch the UFC and its hard core malicious brawling...but then I watch pride or MMA or even the overseas whatever, they seem so much more rapid and intense. More skilled and deadly.
I mean take this guy here Shogun, You dont see mother fuckers flying heel stomping your face...
what im wondering is...are they allowed to and just dont? or are there more rules as far as eye gouging and face stomping goes in UFC?
Shogun will dominate

Yes there used to be more forbidden moves in the UFC then in Pride FC. As for today, the UFC bought Pride FC and it will be unified rules (ufc rules everywhere). I will explain the rules difference in a couple minutes.
Another reason is that the Chute Box guys use a very unorthodox style of striking. They are like wild dogs (check his brother Ninja, Wanderlei Silva etc).
Andersen Silva is also an ex Chute Box guy.
The main difference between both orgs :
You cannot use elbows in pride (mostly because elbows create cuts and stopage)
You can use footstomps in pride
You can use knees to the head when 4 points are toutching the ground in pride (deadly in north south position)
You cannot slam someone on his head in the UFC
The UFC is currently trying to allow 4 points knees on the ground, but I doubt we'll ever see foot stumps or head slams ever allowed. The worst thing for the sport right now would be a death in the octogon since It'S becomming mainstream in the USA.
It was pretty much a concensus agaisn't the MMA hardcore fans and press that the Pride guys were overall much more skilled, but lately, with all the upsets in the octogon, it's giving UFC fans something to brag about... but the Hearings of this world couldn't do anything agaisn't guys like Big Nog and the other top pride guys. Time will tell who are the better fighters.
