Default Are the companies being kept apart?

Are Pride and the UFC being kept apart or is all the Pride talent coming to the UFC? What are your thoughts on what you would prefer. I mean most people probably know the answer to my question but I personally do think it would be better as one huge organization rather than just 2 seperate organizations, what are your thoughts?

theyve said they are keeping them seperate mate, just gonna unify the rules, eg, ufc rules, altought they will keep ring in pride, i wanna keep them seperate and id personally like the rules kept diff but i do understand where they are coming from in making it a sport and aving one set of rules, 2 seperate companies = more events really i think and more title matches and then one super bowl a year.

I like the idea of keeping them separate as well.

And if I could have things my way, I'd get rid of the cage, eliminate elbows and stomps to the head of a grounded opponent, and keep knees to the head on the ground.

That's crazy talk!
I would keep the PRIDE rules and add elbows.


And then eventually bring in sharks with freakin' lasers attached to their heads.
Talk about NHB.

Sharks with lasers are good for the sport!

I'd keep the elbows to the head standing up, but on the ground they just seem to cut up people easily.
