It would be so one-sided, I don't see how it could be exciting.
Fedor might even drop AA standing, but most likely he'd just take him down and pound him and pound him and pound him.
I think AA's ground game is overrated with all the hype about him being the "Sambo Junior World Champ". He'd have no shot on the ground.

Tim Vs Alek another good matchup to me would go either way. Alek being the favorite.
|
Agreed. I wanna see this fight.

Monson vs Big Nog. i know im gonna get some Sh.. for this but i think this matchup would be a good fight to watch.
|
I think Monson actually would have a shot at beating Nog like Barnett. But it wouldn't be as good of a fight imo.

Vera vs Crocop. another great matchup i think Vera would shock the world in how well rounded he is.
|
So, how do you think his well-roundedness would come into play? Vera's stand-up is great, but he's no Crocop. And he wouldn't take down the man with the best TD-defense in the game.
Crocop wins.

Mir vs Barnett. come on who wouldnt want to see this fight. i know Mir got own'd by Vera but this is a good match up on paper
|
We're talking about the #3 HW in the world versus Frank Mir. Barnett easily.

Chuck vs Hunt. i know Chuck's not a HW but while were dreaming of a Pride/UFC super fight show. this would be freakin awesome.
|
That would be a fun fight, but Chuck would obviously have to fight PRIDE's MW-champ in such an event.

to me those are some competitive HW matchs. yeah i would say all the Pride guys would be the betting favorites in those fights but i would bet my house that all of the Pride guys dont win and i would bet that every fight would be exciting. even the Tim/Alek match.
|
I wouldn't put THAT much faith in Monson and Chuck.

Now seriously alot of people on here claim to be fighting fans capable of breaking down fights objectivly. tell me why a UFC/Pride card wouldnt work if these were the matchups. also take into consideration that it is widly thought Pride is the superior HW division so really they both would stand to lose the same amount of credibility win or lose.

It's widely thought that way among hardcore mma-fans, but I'm sure a huge part of UFC followers think UFC is top dog.
