This is, beside's Pride 10 and 8 the best Pride event ever. 6 hours of pure action. Watch the most memorable fight of the year as Royce Gracie takes on the greatest fighter pound for pound in the world today Sakuraba. See Igor Vovchanchin, Mark Coleman and Mark Kerr all fight for the title of "Pride GP 2000 winner". To top it off the return of Ken Shamrock, watch him battle Alexander Otsuka, a man who defeated Marco Ruas and went the distance with Igor Vovchanchin and Renzo Gracie. The greatest 8 man tourney ever with 2 superfights, miss this at your peril.

The Pride organization went all out on this MMA event. A true all around fighting styles tounanment, Igor Vovachyns Kickboxing and striking skills, Sakurabas outstanding wrestling moves and Royce Gracies well known Jiu jitsu tecniques. This collection is great for beggining fans for Mixed Martial Arts or even a professional No holds barred fighter. Pride Grand Prix has history making footage. A must have!

If for nothing else, the Gracie vs. Sakuraba fight is worth the price of the DVD. This is one of the best fights in modern MMA history. Also, Sakuraba (at least on this night) was arguably the greatest pound for pound fighter in the world during this tourney. Even after going 90 minutes with Gracie, he almost submitted Vovchanchyn in the next fight. Unfortuanatey, the rest of the fights (including the final), fall a little short, but then again, when compared to the Gracie/Sakuraba fight..most fights will.

THIS ONE OF THE GREATEST TOURNOMENTS EVER. With the first real defeat of a Gracie it becomes a classic. While the tape is about 6 hour long, there is the ever so famous Royce Gracie Vrs. Kazushi Sakuraba fight. While this fight was 1 and 1/2 hours long, it was one of the greatest fights ever. Going down in the history book! While it may seem teadius, it was well worthn it, to see the event, and its champion. Pride spares no cost to get the greatest fighters, thats what made this tournoment so geat. With so mant great fights, its hard to say every one wasn't the best. However, this did deffinity show who the #1 champion in the world is.
