In an effort to end the constant PRIDE vs UFC arguments that have been ruining many threads, we are no longer permitting Pride/UFC comparisons in either forum.

One of the great things that has existed at FightForum since its inception was the ability to discuss the happenings of MMA in an intelligent manner. One thing that plagues all the MMA forums is the ongoing Pride vs. UFC debate. While we are all fans of MMA, it is only natural to favor one organization over another for a number of reasons. The arguments become passionate and ultimately threads become pissing matches, ruining good debate and info. With the recent quality events put on by both promotions, the arguments have gotten louder and yet more redundant.

Thus we are asking that it stops here. Absolutely no Pride vs UFC comparisons will be allowed in the Pride or UFC forums period. We are getting tired of 1) People bashing organizations. And 2) People getting overly defensive when anything negative is said about their organization.

As a solution, feel free to carry on the Pride vs UFC debate in either "The Arena (if intelligent and does not create arguments)" or in the "Street Fight" if all you are doing is simply bashing. This way, the arguments will be more contained and not ruin thread after thread. Also, if a thread is started that will do nothing but incite Pride vs UFC argument, it will be moved. If a post is made in a thread for the express reason of inciting this argument, it will be deleted.

We feel we have a great community here and are trying to curtail the Pride vs UFC argument from dragging the conversation down on most of the site.

Thanks for understanding and continue enjoying the site.
