No, I haven't yet. One of my students is supposed to bring me a tape of it, but he keeps forgetting.
Was it good? Any suprises? I like Pride way more than UFC. It's just a better production and the fans really make it exciting because they love it for the sport.

Yeah....once again I saw the "highlights" version though...6 hours crammed into 70min
It wasn`t one of thier best shows to date. Quite a few went the distance, the one fight I was looking forward to ended in a choke after about 30 sec. They even had some monster of a NFL player fighting
Probably the highlight of the edit version was Alexanda ( the bald headed Japanese dude ) getting out of an arm lock that had the crowd screaming in pain just watching it LOL.
I have to say though, I do agree with Pride being much better than UFC, and am looking forward to 21

OK, I finally got to watch Pride 20 last night. I thought it was a good show. Wow, I didn't know Norguiera had a little brother. It should be interesting to see if they can both capture titles.
Silva was awesome as always, although that kick he took to the ribs did some damage I'm sure. You could see it turning purple and swelling before the fight was even over.
Ninja and Sperry's fight was very good. That Ninja kid is intense and doesn't seem to get tired. I was kind of saddened to see Sperry losing, he's one of my favourite fighters. Out with the old, and in with the new I guess.

I didn`t really like the Silva fight.
As far as a fight goes it was ok, but there is this big Pride vs K-1 thing going on over here, and all the guys are saying come to pride and we`ll kick your asses and vice-versa. They had one night where they all fought pride rules and other than the guy that fought Silva this time lost ( K-1 guys lost I mean ). So they`ve said now you fight our rules and nothings happened.
This fight was like a bastardized version that didn`t really suit either of the fighters.
