Since this has been a topic in many different threads, I thought it would be a great option to have its very own. So far we have seen many former Pride fighters in the UFC, and most of them are lackluster at best.
the Good
Anderson Silva
Quentin Jackson
Wandy Silva (fought like a champ in a loss)
The Mediocre
Nog (looked uninspired)
Herring (not really sure if he should be on the list)
Dan Henderson (I see him being better @ 185)
The Bad
Cro Cop (I really expected him to dominate and it has been disturbing to see)
Shogun (awful)
Soko
Chonan
If I missed anyone feel free to add. Now lets get to it, why are there so many flops? Could it be the lack of drug testing in Japan, or are the Pride guys just not as good as advertised. Thoughts?
