They just dislike the ones that use and don't win OR just aren't smart enough to use and not get caught.

zuffa, owners of UFC, have bought PRIDE and most of their fighters contracts and no it doesn't exist anymore. So the go to PRIDE avenue is closed.

Now I know that UFC bought PRIDE although I thought they were keeping the ring format & rules over in Japan

They said they would keep both seperate but changed their minds. Maybe cos of PRIDE's reputation in japan and previous yakuza links when sakikibara was running them (the reason they lost the fuji TV deal and had to sell up).

They resently just saked most of the pride backroom and production staff so dont expect to see it again.

As far as the UFC hating steroids, they just hate the fighters being caught, but other than that dont care, depending who you are. Got rid of josh barnett for using and stripped him of HW title after beating randy. Sylvia got caught, no problem. Sherk gets caught they defend him. All politics


bill mahood who just fought for wec (zuffa/ufc owned) tested possitive for deca, winstrol, weed and coke.... first time someone has tested possitive for both AAS and rec drugs... nice record
