Generally speaking I believe that PRIDE has the best MMA competitors in the world. The main reason for that is quite simple. They are by far the highest paying MMA organization today and all the top fighters want to work there. \n\nAnd as far as weight divisions individually are concerned situation looks more less like this:\n\nUFC heavyweights are nowhere near PRIDE level. With fighters like Fedor Emelianenko, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Mirko CRO COP Filipovic, Sergei Kharitonov, Josh Barnett, Aleksander Emelianenko, Fabricio Werdum, Mark Hunt and so on PRIDE is completely dominant in this division. UFC's best Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski wouldn't even make top 8 in PRIDE.\n\nPRIDE is also dominant in LHW division with Wanderlei Silva, Mauricio SHOGUN Rua, Ricardo Arona, Hidehiko Yoshida, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Alister Overeem all there (their only big minus was the recent loss of Quinton RAMPAGE Jackson who signed for WFA). UFC, now that Randy Couture is retired, really only has two top level fighters in that weight class - Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell. Sobral, Bonar and Griffin are good fighters but they're not on the level of PRIDE's best.\n\nMiddleweight division is at the moment about even in PRIDE and UFC but there are really only two kings in this weight class and the rest of the competition is not on their level. They are of course Rich Franklin and Dan Henderson and that would be a dream match.\n\nWelter weight division (-170 lbs) PRIDE doesn't have (well they call -185 lbs division welter) but Matt Hughes is the undisputed champion and the best fighter in the world in that class and UFC's fighters are best there, no question about that.\n\nLightweights are without doubt better in PRIDE with Takanori Gomi, Tatsuya Kawajiri, Hayato Sakurai, Joachim Hansen, Luiz Azeredo and so on all there.

best pound for pound is Floyd Mayweather BUT best pound for pound to watch is a toss up between Manny Pacquiou for his awesome offense and Marcus Antonio Barrera specifically for his 3 wars with Erik Morales.  I would have said Arturo Ghatti before he changed his style. His wars with Mickey Ward were amazing. A journeyman Emmanuel Burton had some wars with Ward and Ghatti as well I forget what he changed his last name to recently though.

people on the ufc forums are always debating what the ufc fighters make and how much the ufc pulls in. nobody really knows for sure and i don't think you'll be able to find an exact figure.they are becoming more mainstream with a growing fan base and lots  of ppv's so i'm sure they are raking in the coin.

I love the UFC! I like Matt Hughes, Tim Silvia, Forrest Griffin. Chuck Lidell I like but he is starting to annoy me with the Xyience X he does in the octagon. I dont know if he counts because he is retired but I love Randy Couture.\n\nMy fave submissions are rear naked choke and kimura and arm bar.\n\nAnd no you idiot people who watch the UFC arent into cockfighting and dog fighting, well not most of us. That is sick as hell.

Among the heavyweight fighters, I think it has to be Joe Louis.  He had one streak where he would fight another challenger every month.  He called it the "bum-a-month" club.  He took on all comers and he beat them all.  And he was a classy guy on top of all of that.\n\nThere were other great champions of course, including Muhammad Ali, Rocky Graziano, and Rocky Marciano, and going way back, Max Baer and John L. Sullivan (the first really great boxer), but Joe Louis stands above them all.\n\nGood luck!!

No heavyweight in the UFC can beat Slyvia, except Arlovski. Vera is just to small for a heavyweight, he needs to drop down to lightheavy. Sylvia's only competition in the UFC is Arlovski. That is because UFC's heavyweight talent pool is terrible. They definitely need to court some top level heavyweights away from pride. First and foremost, the man who only signs contracts for 1 fight at a time, Mirko Cro-Cop. They could actually sign the guy at just about anytime, just need to pay him enough. There's the problem, UFC has never been real big on paying their fighters top dollar. No doubt Cro-Cop would destroy Sylvia, Arlovski, and anyone else in UFC's mediocre heavyweight division. This only applies to UFC's heavyweight division, the other division's are stacked.

oh man...he (gracie) lost in the first round a little over 4 minutes...man that completely devastaed me...mostly because i know how he felt loosing...he had more to fight for,his name,his family,his dad,and the art in which his family perfected (gracie ju-jit-su)...i am very heartbroke over it but in my mind gracie is still the best warrior to come to ufc...his age probably had a part in it as well as having kids and a wife...when you have a family you become civilized and less agressive.   but he is still the best and i would walk thru hell with him any time!!!GUARANTEED!\nand i do like matt and i like him being the champ...but i didnt want to see what i saw!  but i guess time palys a big part in all sports and every generation gets twp steps ahead of the last,just like baseball...and all the drugs they have now adays play a big part in their strength.and gracie never took anything like that...hell hes 6' and skinny as a rail!not all buff like all the others.\nbut gracie still rules

To the guy that wrote about the UFC fighters getting tired of signing autographs...they aren't Brad Pitt and George Clooney...they can pretty much still go to any place in the US and not get ambushed because they aren't top celebrities!  It's not like they're asked more than any other sports athlete.  Matt Hughes is a big jerk and you can definitely tell by when he was on the Ultimate Fighter.  HE'S A BIG JERK and arrogant is a good word to describe him.\n\nAnd they used to talk Sh*t about Tito's attitude and arrogance, Matt Hughes definitely takes the cake.

Tracis Lutter Submission\nChris Lytle Knock Out\nDin Thomas by knock Out\nPete Spratt Decision\nJorge Rivera Decision\nPete Sell Knock Out\nCaptain Miserable by decision\nThales by submission\n\nHard fights to call, but Captain Miserable, Pete Sell, Din, Chris Lytle, they should all win for sure. Its obivious that they will win because we seen them fight, and they are the only good ones lol. Well Captain Miserable lost but he didnt show what he was good for, he did alot better against the crow then in the TUF.\n\noh and GSP wins by Decision over Hughes \n\nand Jeff Monson wins by Submission Kimura or punches\n\ncool to see ufcmania.com i know a crap load about a ton of fighters ufc and pride mostly and some local stuff.

Well at www.ufc.tv has all the weight limits and rules/fouls there. And Pride has the same thing pretty much same rules different round stlyes. Personally I like UFC. King of the cage website has the rules to.

Matt Hughes is the "prototype" of the UFC fighter. He is strong and well rounded. His background in wrestling helps him dominate on the mat. His Miletich training gives him the background in striking, karate, and Jujitsu. Gracie was dominant in a time when the UFC was basically a tough man contest. These huge guys, with little martial arts background would come and win by brute strength alone. Gracie could submit these guys because no one had any training, let alone knowledge of jujitsu.\n\nTimes have changed and to be a champ you need to be knowledgeable in many martial arts.

My favourite fighter has always been Royce Gracie i love watching him fight. I am also a big fan of Matt Hughes and to see them fight each other will be AWESOME i am sure it will be the fight of the year. I live in Australia and i am going to California to see it live at UFC 60. I hope Royce wins so we can see more of him if he losses i think he will retire. I am also a big fan of Ken Shamrock but i am afraid Tito will retire him unless Ken goes for Tito's bad leg but he won't. As for GSP i think he is great fighter he may just beat Matt Hughes in a rematch that will also be a great fight. I think that Chuck Liddel is the most exiting fighter in the ufc today and at the moment he looks unstoppable. This year has been filled with the best fights and match ups ever in mma i wish they could find more heavyweight contenders though.\nPlease ask more UFC questions i love it.
