Guest Mr. Adam Report post Posted February 18, 2003 Word up, I just got me a new region free DVD Player and am thinking of ordering a few of the new Pride DVD's off Highspot. I'm just getting in to the whole MMA thing and the only other DVD I have is UFC V: Return of the Beast. I downloaded a shitload of clips off Sherdog featuring Sakuraba, Ortiz and the likes so that's how limited my exposure is. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Angle-plex Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Get Pride 19 if it's out. Shamrock/Frye is awesome. And Pride 13 is cool just to see Sak get the shit kicked out of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted February 20, 2003 I thought the PRIDE GP was overrated. IMO, the best DVDs are: PRIDE 10 PRIDE 14 PRIDE 17 PRIDE 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted February 20, 2003 I liked the Grand Prix, but it is overrated. Easy to find though, check out E-Bay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted February 20, 2003 The Sakurabe/Gracie "fight" was a cure for Insomnia. I actually enjoyed the Shamrock/Otsuka match the most, which ironically wasn't a GP match. Oh, and Mark Coleman falling over trying to jump the ropes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Angle-plex Report post Posted February 20, 2003 Ugh. That Sak/Royce "epic" was one of the most borring fights ever. Although Shamrock vs Severn was MUCH worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest benoitrulz4life Report post Posted March 2, 2003 In order: 1. Return of the Warriors Best Match: Sakuraba vs. Renzo Gracie, among many great matches. Best MMA card I have ever seen, not really a boring fight on the card. 2. Grand Prix Finals Best Match: Sakuraba vs. Royce Gracie (Only if you love LONG technical bouts, I really thought they were handicapped by the gay rules, IMO it would have been eons better with the standard round system.) 3. Collision Course Best Match: All pretty short matches, but watch Sakuraba/Silva, Coleman/Goes, and Renzo/Henderson and you'll have the equivalent of one normal length match. 4. Raging Rumble Best Match: Sakuraba vs. Jackson or the war between Vovchanchyn and Satake, really just a kickboxing match. 5. Battle of the Rising Sun Best Match: Herring vs. Erikson, where Herring officially arrives. 6. Cold Fury Best Match: Silva/Henderson, pretty brutal match. 7. Championship Chaos Best Match: Nogueira/Herring, maybe the best PRIDE fight ever, along with Sak/Renzo. 8. Pride 8 Best Match: Trigg/Iha, surprisingly good match for the amount of time it lasted. 9. Pride 4 Best Match: Sakuraba/Goes, where Sak goes the distance in a great technical fight; and Rickson/Takada, the rematch, which may or may not be rigged, depending on whether or not you like Takada 10. Grand Prix Opening Round Best Match: Vovchanchyn vs. Otsuka, Otsuka hangs with Igor in a tough opening round match. 11. Clash of the Titans Best Match: Mezger/Liddell, brutal finish which come out of nowhere. 12. Pride 2 Best Match: Sakuraba/Vernon White, Sak's debut in PRIDE. 13. Pride 7 Best Match: Kerr vs. Vovchanchyn, controversial match which (eventually) led to rule changes. 14. Pride 6 Best Match: Matsui/Newton, long match with Matsui showing the survival traits he will use in later matches. 15. Pride 3 Best Match: Sakuraba/Newton, one of the best technical matches in MMA history. 16. Pride 5 Best Match: Sakuraba/Belfory, many may not agree, but to them I say kiss my ass because this was a weird card. 17. Beasts from the East Best Match: Coleman/Nogueira, where a surprise is in store for one of them. Matsui vs. Rua is just as good, Rua's debut. 18. Cold Fury 2 Best Match: Vovchanchyn/Overeem, IMO Vovchanchyn's last hurrah, but hopefully he'll be back because he's still young and he is a very popular fighter. I believe he is still one of the top ten heavyweights in the world. 19. Pride 1 Best Match: Do I have to choose one? I guess Takada/Gracie, but Goodridge and Taktarov is pretty entertaining. Overall this card kind of sucks. And for those of you who thought Sak/Gracie was boring just watch Kimo/Severn. 20. New Blood Best Match: Kind of a bland card. Vovchanchyn/Matsui is a decent fight, as Matsui goes toe to toe with yet another superior fighter. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
