More often than not you can tell by looking at a guy if he is juicing or not, i.e Sherk, Randelmann. To say that the only reason Pride was so exciting is because the fighters were on steroids is totally ridiculous. Fedor does not take steroids, neither does Shogun and many others. You can tell just by looking.

Perhaps Cro Cop is having a tough time in the UFC becasue he was hyped up so much by the UFC that everyone was expecting him to come in and kick off everyones head on his way to the HW championship. He can no longer kick a downed opponent which was something Mirko was excellent at, the UFC uses a Cage instead of a ring, which Mirko has never fought in before and on top of that the UFC fans are nothing at all like the PrideFC fans were. Especially the Japanese.

Believe what you want but any interview with any fighter who ever fought at a Pride show have all said it was like nothing else they have ever experienced, 70,000 fans in an arena watching Matial arts and you could hear a pin drop. Every single thing about PrideFC was better than that of the UFC, who only gets 20,000 fans per show, 3/4's of them being drunken retards who just want blood, lol.

It doesnt matter what organization yo uare in ther ewill be people who take steroids, in any sport. IMO the reason some Pride fighters arent doing so well in the UFC is not because they are juicing but because the UFC is an inferior organization which cares more about money than it does their own fans or fighters.

I can guarantee you that if you were to have Mirko vs. Fedor 1 take place in Vegas in the UFC the fight would not have been nearly as good as it was in Japan in the Pride ring under Pride rules.

also Herring vs. Big Nog 1 and 2 were both better fights than #3. Rampage vs. Liddell have fought eachother in the UFC and PrideFC. THeir fight in PrideFC was by far the more exciting of the 2.

PrideFC was better because it had better rules, and the fights took place in the ring instead of a cage. Not because the fighters were all on steroids.
