Sadly, i started getting into MMA when PRIDE was finished, meaning i missed out on all of the epicness it provided. However, i have gone back and watched some of the fights etc and i must say everything about it seems so amazing, the atmosphere, the fighters, the entrances, the Japanese-ness of it all and even the ring lol

As a total package, PRIDE seemed amazingly entertaining, i mean, who doesn't find this fantastic?!

My question though is that how do you think current day UFC compares to PRIDE at its best? Right now the UFC IMO is also doing wonderful things, for the most part putting the best fighters together with interesting fights on almost every card, how do you think they compare?
