'PRIDE Fighting Decade: The First 10 Years' to air on PPV

On April 28, "PRIDE Fighting Decade: The First 10 Years�? will air on Pay-Per-View (PPV).

Of course, the Ferttitta brothers — who are majority owners of the UFC — recently purchased the Japanese mixed martial arts promotion.

I figure this special looks like a solid piece for UFC fans to get up to speed on what makes the acquisition of PRIDE such a huge deal. And the highlights appear to be killer.

Here's the trailer:

Is it "MMA Superbowl�? time yet or what? God I love this sport.

According to one of our readers, MJC_123, InDemand lists the cost of the PPV at $24.95.

Silva v. Jackson still gives me shivers… I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so exciting in all of MMA – not in a match (well actually 2) that was that anticipated. Wouldn’t mind seeing it again.

This looks like a sick show. I’m going to buy it even though I have been a Pride fan for years!

I’ve never watched any pride, just UFC… I’m really excited to check this thing out. I hope they show more than just 3 hrs of higlights. I would love to see some full fights.

Finally!! I get to fill in all of the gaps! Wand vs Rampage (both fights) were great. You could really feel the animosity these 2 had for each other at the time. THey both let it all hang out unlike Diego vs Kos or Tito vs Chuck or….well you get the picture. I am a huge Rampage fan so you know it hurt me to see Wand lock in his ever-devastating Thai clinch & put my boy Q to sleep. Ouch! Now that Pride & UFC are essentially together I wonder if we’ll get to see a best of 5 instead of 3 with them. Outside of that rivalry it will be great to see some of the Fedor fights that I’ve missed. He’s an MMA king! Talk about well-rounded & ever improving! Then there’s Big Nog, Lil Nog, Hunt, Hendo, Cro Cop, Gomi, Aoki, a handful of Gracies & more! Can you tell I’m excited!?!?!?!

If any of you are fairly new to MMA & can truly appreciate the sport this is a can’t miss!

Also, I favor the respect that the Japanese fans always show towards the fighters during a bout. You will never hear any of them booing or heckling the fighters. They really respect the fighters for what they do.

CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH I HAVE MOST OF THE PRIDES BUT ITS NOTHING LIKE WATCHING 10 YEARS WRAP UP IN 3 HOURS

I agree with machine, when these UFC fighters fight put it all on the line dont fake the funk and make people wonderif these fights are set up throw down damn it, thats what yall get paid for not to friggen size each other up for 3 rounds on a ppv bout, if any UFC fighters read this heed the word of the brother, lateley these UFC fights have seen rather suspicious like everyones whos winning like UFC 69. I beleive Dana White also wanted to prove that the UFC is better than pride, even though they own pride now, but to tell you the truth pride works better the way its always been, but not for long. If Rmapaige gets dropped in the first round against Chuck imma have to say this sh.. is set up, Cause I know rampaige can take alot of punches without being dropped and even in the 1st fight it whent almost 10 minutes with him taking severe punches and they didnt even faze him.
