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.

You're right - they're taking it slowly because a death would severely hurt the sport that's still in its infancy. I think a time will come when it won't be as much of an issue, but it's far down the road.
