ok, first, this is NOT a UFC vs. Pride debate, it's just something I noticed that's weird about the UFC fighter intros. Other people can debate on whether it's better to have fireworks, mega-screens, etc. for intros in the UFC vs. Pride threads.

The UFC fighter intros (and by intros I mean when the fighter enters the arena) just start with music. Now, while that's cool in conjunction with the total darkness thing they do in title fights/main events, it's really bizarre in normal matchups.

Do they need Pride's crazy woman screaming the names before the fighter comes out? I don't know, but I think having someone (even Goldberg) announce the fighters over the PA with their music would make the intros seem a little more interesting. Sometimes it feels like the crowd is totally oblivious to the fighter entering the arena.
