I agree with ICS. PRIDE was the best promotion of 2001, its growing popularity not only in Japan but now the United States is extraordinary. As well as the quality of the combatants of the promotion, Kazushi Sakuraba, Vanderlei Silva and Semmy Schilt (I believe he competed on PRIDE) just to name a few.
