i agree with this too....i started watching mma(ufc) when i was about 12 or 13 around 1999 and all i knew for 3 or 4 years was ufc...i didnt even call it mma it was ufc...but then i started wondering hey wheres that guy that tito beat and other such questions arrose in my mind and then pride came into my life...i had to research it myself and i think alot of the "ufc" fans(not mma fans) are reluctint to watch or learn of anything else...i think if there was a pride type tuf show it would do wonders for pride in the us...
dont you hate when people are taling about mma and all they can seem to call it is ufc!!!!its so sad!!!
