no because Nevada State Athletic Commission doesn't allow them. PRIDE will use the same rules as the UFC. The only difference is the fight will be in a ring.

so the rules will be pretty much like the same as UFC rules?? Does that also mean that there's no stomping or kicking when your opponent is down?? Randleman along with Coleman are my favorite MMa fighters.

I think it would be a bigger win for Randleman if kicking on the ground was allowed. That's one of Shogun's strengths.

the green team(couture team) should of use shoes or they wouldnt got their asses kick..............................if you didnt understand that joke i was playing it off of that he only talked boutthe blue and green team of tuf1

I'm pretty sure the rule is you can only wear shoes if they match your purse, Brittney.

Actually Pride still won't have elbows in their fights. So it is basically the same rules as IFL if you think about it. No stomps, knees on the ground or elbows.

that sucks shit

Why does that suck shit? I don't necessarily like watching someones head get soccer kicked into next week, especially if they're down and dazed.

That is the most assinine comment i've heard here. Gi's and Shoes give an entire host of advantages and disadvantages. Study up on your rules, most state athletic commisions have similar rules.
