If Pride is here to stay they better get some ad campaigns. The UFC was brilliant teaming up with Spike tv. It didn't have to be TUF or even UFN- just UFC unleashed on it's own gains considerable coverage. Until Pride makes a decent attempt to gain popularity in the US no one really has a good reason to be down on the UFC fans who are ignorant of Pride. As far as they know it isn't Mixed Martial Arts but Ultimate Fighting.
