Entirely different rules between Pride and UFC, I personally preferred the rules Pride had in place, and actually liked seeing the fighting in a ring as opposed to the cage. I think Pride's fight rules made for a more exciting fight. While arguing which organization had better fighters is kind of pointless as so many fighters have gone back and forth between the two, I will gladly argue with anyone that Pride was a better show. I think a lot of long time Pride fighters may take a while to adjust to fighting under different rules in a different environment.
