I think the UFC has messed up the PRIDE angle.....

Look at these fights:

Rampage v Hendo

Wandy v Chuck

Shogun v Forrest(not the best example)

and there a few others too. I think the UFC rushed alot of these PRIDE fighters and did not give them the time to adjust to the cage.They have hurt themselves in the long run,as these guys mentioned are tremendous stars and have big followings.

They didn't hype these fighters well either.ESPECIALLY the unification withPage and Hendo.Hopefully big Nog will do well but how can you blame these PRIDE guys for not ding as well as they are capable of? I'm sure we remember Chuck neaarly getting KTFO by Overeem and then getting KTFO by Page in the ring.

I still think these PRIDE fighters will come back to win or at least look alot better than they have done so thus far.
