I was a fan of both at the time but always preffered UFC. Pride was too strongly puroresu-flavored for my taste.

oops indeed i did misread it. my apologies mate. i'm sure they'll have a card sometime next year. i guess there was just a bit of pressure to have a card in japan since they bought pride and hadn't had a ufc in japan since god knows when. ufc better have a card here in 2012. if not, i think losing a lot of the aussie fanbase to One FC might be a huge possibility. Being from Perth, I would be more than happy to fly to Malaysia, Indo and/or Singapore, watch a good night of fights and have a cheap arse holiday if UFC don't come down to Sydney again.
