I forgot about Gomi/Diaz and Fedor/Randleman. Gotta put those on.

I wouldn't mind putting a Barnett fight on there since I'm trying to convince them to get the Affliction PPV, but the only one I can think of is the Nogueira fight.

I wish I had a BluRay burner. This would make this a lot easier.

-Fedor/CroCop (Final Conflict 2005)
-Shogun/Rampage (Total Elimination 2005)
-Anderson Silva/Carlos Newton (PRIDE 25)

...

Rampage/Arona (yes, need to give em Rampage history, and that KO was unreal)

Wanderlei/Rampage II (yes, need to give em Wand history too)

Fedor/Randleman (just to watch his jaw drop, one of the best endings to a fight ever)

Henderson/Wanderlei II (so your friends can see what happened to both of those guys in their last Pride fights before coming to UFC)

Wanderlei/Sakuraba III (this works because it was a legend in the making for Wand)

Shogun/Rampage (again, Shogun/Rampage history lesson)

Big Nog/Herring II (again, history lesson)

Big Nog / Fedor (I or III you pick, just make sure you help your friends to
understand that Big Nog looked unbeatable until Fedor looked unbeatable against him)

Big Nog / Crocop (Big Nog is current champ, hence the extra history lessons)

Sure there are some fights that were more exciting than some on my list, but I picked these because you're trying to give your friends somewhat of a background for former Pride fighters. Hope you enjoy.

*edit* After reading Dr MMas post, just make 5 DVDs. ;D

I'm liking that list. I'd like to throw the Diaz/Gomi fight in if I have to room. Hell, I'll make room considering how big of an upset it was. Considering only a handful of those fights went the distance or into the late rounds, I might have room for a couple extra ones. I won't know that until I start compiling the video though.

You're right about giving some backstory on Nogueira too.

After looking at some of these fights, I wish UFC would release a "Best of PRIDE" series. Even though I've got a lot of these fights, I'd still buy a boxset.
