Pride started after UFC and went about it the right way, of course they would have done that anyway because the Japanese have a sense of history and pride. to them two men fighting is honorable not violent. you also don't seem to understand that Dana White is a minor partner in Zuffa, he does'nt make all the rules.
The thing about that is a lot of the people who attend the UFC events don't appreciate the sport either. They boo when it goes to the ground and only want to see boxing. But it is not the UFC that is promoting that, I just think it is funny that even when they promote it correctly, to a lot of the "fans" it's still just about violence. They don't want to see Frank Mir pull off the most beautiful armbar that has ever been applied. They want to see him pull it off first slap Sylvia around with it then KO him.
