5.0 out of 5 stars Just buy it!, October 5, 2007

Long wait, but it was worth it!

If you are a Pride fan, this one is "must own" DVD set. I strongly believe this 2-part Pride event undoubtedly elevated its organization to be the best MMA promoter in the world. The first 205 lbs 8-men tournament along with top notch Heavy weight cards was unrivaled by any other organizations at that time. All I want to say is "just buy it." Your money is well spent on this set.

For those UFC fans out there, you might want to check this one out, too. This event has appearance of Dana White and his crew. Chuck and Rico did well, but the Pride roster was just too strong. Also, there are press conference footages that will give you slight glimpse of why Dana White had to acquire Pride and destroy it. Sad...

5.0 out of 5 stars Another awesome Pride tournament, August 8, 2008

This review is from: Pride GP 2003 (DVD)

The Pride Fc Grand Prix 2003 Middleweight Tournament (or Light Heavyweight in the U.S.) was another classick. Sick, awesome, action-packed fights and of course some knockout finishes. They were able to release this great tournament in a 4 disc set which includes 2 tournament prgrams with pictures and Japanese writing, which looks cool but unfortunately I can't read.

Disc 1 features some special Heavyweight match-ups such as Fedor vs Gary Goodridge, Cro Cop vs Igor Vovchanchyn and the infamous Nogueira vs Ricco Rodriguiez.
The tournament fights are Chuck Liddell vs Alistair Overeem, Quinton Jackson vs Murilo Bustamante, Wanderlei Silva vs Sakuraba 3, and Yoshida vs Tamura. Pretty much the whole fight card is exciting full of action, there really isn't a ball dragger here too much.

Disc 2 is even better then disc 1! This disc includes some more special heavyweight match-ups and it include the tournament finals! This has the hellacious Cro-Cop vs Nogueira fight, Chuck Liddell vs Quinton Jackson,and Yoshida gives Wanderlei Silva (who is my favorite MMA fighter hands down) a run for his money, and then finally the final tournament match-up of Wanderlei Silva vs Quinton Jackson!

This explosive box set showcases some of Pride's best brutal tournament matches,and quite frankly, I love ALL of the Pride tournaments!!!
