PRIDE Total Elimination 2005: Shogun Rua vs Rampage Jackson 

You and me both, better times

TODAY IS TOO MUCH MARKETING, JELWES AND TATTOOS...

At the time they never really tested for steroids.

They are still here....Some incredible fights happening

No drama, no social media, just fighting. I miss everything in the world pre Twitter.

Wait.. aren't soccer kicks illegal??

@@cl299not in pride

@@nave94 damn

😂 that one of the things that made pride so good

@@nave94 Also it seemed to have some rules + the ring that made it harder for wrestling to dominate as much

PRIDE was glorious. Shogun's a living legend. His brothers fight with Mario Sperry was an all time great.

Realistically he was a middleweight fighting at light heavyweight because he didn't want to cut too much.

@@bootyholelover5639 he wasn't smaller than Rampage what are you talking about? Hendo was a very small LHW

@@conormcleod5900 he is noticeably smaller. They're about the same height, but I seriously doubt they are the same exact weight. Rampage is massive muscle wise. Old school Rua was just super skilled and athletic. Once his legs gave out, it was over for him. No more fancy jump kicks out of nowhere.

The best

😂😂😂😂

😅😅😅😅

Why?

@@dontedupree Why not?

@@johnoneill7947 Poirier vs Chandler, Gane vs Tuivasa, Adesanya vs Peirera, Jiri vs Glover, was just as good as any past Pride fight.....The level of skills that the UFC fighters have has evolved. It's some amazingly great fights that have happened. I can go on and on.

@@dontedupree don't waste your time your a nobody

@@dontedupree Just to educate yourself then. You should watch early pre-zuffa ufc too.

Rampage was always tough as nails

Like he had a choice 🤣

I wish his corner threw in the towel earlier

Looks like he got injured pretty early in the fight. Ribs or something.

doing a ton of PED's probably makes it a bit easier

Cadê o PT-BR, pae?

Only lacked a strategic mind (As a young man, only as and older fighter with bad knees). Most of the Chute Boxe guys had, only Wandy (Pre 2006) showed a bit, Pelé, Ninja, Assuerio... not really. Ando began to show it AFTER he left Chute Boxe.

You spelled anger wrong

He should fire his corner.

The fact he kept going and ate all those knees and soccer kicks was insane. Shogun put one of the most savage beatings in MMA history on Rampage and he just sat there in the corner afterwards like "aw man that fucking sucked"

I got a rib broken when I was 26. It was quite possibly the most debilitating recovery period of my life. Breathing. Basic movement It affected literally everything

@@jonathanbradley4896 I think shogun got the worst beat down in mma history from Jon jones! That shit looked personal

@@stevenwalker9013 that was the most brutal, but the most dominating performance I've ever was gsp over frank trigg. When I say frank couldn't do a damn thing I meant it

​@@nathanbosley76 naa, aint that bad.

PRIDE was almost like a different sport with the allowances for the soccer kicks, flying stops and knees to the head of a grounded opponent. Shogun was a master of using his skills in this ruleset.

Nah, what about lyoto?

His ground and pound was second to none. If he got on top of you, you were fucked.

​@@jaybay4163а вы тоже так же материтесь ,"пиздец "

What's the 'UFC' & WTF are you talking about ??

Hands down the toughest competition of any tournament and it's won by a what, 25yr old young man! He was a monster and well rounded and most importantly a real killer instinct and absolutely iron toughness and will.

@@muriloninja are you the real one ?

My favourite fighter! Respect from Russia ❤

I agree, but I don't know what you wrote.

​@@elmoblatch9787 translate

@@elmoblatch9787 use google translator bro, lol

Jon please don't lead us astray with your Web of lies

@@RMMaryport I have nothing to prove to you..ta ta son.

Nah

@@dontedupree name it

Rizin ff

Ya it is pretty crazy their production value and spectacle, and this event is almost 20 years old at this point They were definitely the best and ahead of their time, at the time this happened

jackson needed to train some clinching

In pride he was a wrestler in ufc became a boxer

They Were From The Same Camp Wanderlei And Shogun

Wanderlei was juicing during this era, which we find out years later. Since they're in the same camp Shogun was definitely juicing. Vitor Belfort was on the juice. Even Royce Gracies were later tested positive for PEDs. That country should definitely be ban from entering sports event. Japan and Pride never tested for steroids.

@@sluggak1363 yeah because ufc fighters outwrestled him thats why

Lol

I'll say mirco is unbeatable in his prime. Shogun is not as technical as jones, mirco or anderson. Shogun is top tier but not the best.

@@NOBODY-jn9jr Shogun is extremely technical. His muay thay is excelent. Even his taekwondo is great. He does an illegal taekwondo double kick in this fight, first in the knee and the other to the head, never seen that in MMA before. That's the definition of technical fighter right there

@@pedrodutra4088 reread, dont just comment. You just made yourself look clueless

Forest did. Come at me.

Same here bro I’m 33 now! I use to get the recap on I think fox sports south from Frank Trigg and Jay Glazer’s pride show they had after school at 4pm eastern time.

Irish 34, all we had was the ufc with chuck and Tito at that time. Buddy payed a fortune to buy the entire pride collection! Outrageous times

Meanwhile in America “TWIST HIS DICK”

@@radicaled8447 😂

Pride Fighting Championships was a real treat for mixed martial arts fans! Dana White and the UFC is garbage absolute garbage!

this is a true demonstration of martial arts appreciation. nothing like americans and their beers and boos

@@mariovitorlauande2706 Agreed. I’m an American and went to a UFC fight in North Carolina. It was like a crowd of drunk cavemen and women. Whenever the fight would go to the ground and the fighter on top would try to advance his position in order to either land ground and pound or submission plus the guy on the bottom is working to either submit off his back, defend against submission, defend from ground & pound or try to get to his feet (Its like a quick chess match to me) the crowd just started booing. Or when they would grapple they would boo. I was thinking 🤔 “Do these idiots not realize this is “MIXED” Martial Arts?? If you wanna see people try to knock each other’s head off the entire time then go to your local tough man competition ffs which that’s the type of show 90% of that crowd should go to instead of paying tickets to watch a professional MMA match. People in the crowd had no respect for the fighters, the sport, or each other. We saw 4 fights break out in the crowd. I’ll never go to one in the USA again. I know people find the BJJ, Wrestling, etc boring but don’t be a jackass and boo the fighters for fighting in the different disciplines of martial arts. I’m a country boy. I grew up on a tobacco farm and was taught to have self respect, respect for others no mattter what ethnicity or gender and to have common courtesy. Common courtesy sure as hell is not very common. Lots of the people in that crowd were US military because the show was being held not that far from Fort Bragg. These people were probably the most disrespectful undisciplined lot of the crowd. Anyways, I have a lot respect for the Japanese people. The way they carry themselves and interact with others. I’d love to visit Japan one day.

I posted exactly what you posted, just a day later.

Much respect to the legend Shogun but no version of him was beating Jon that night

@@jdrum208 bwahaha. Jon never fought the real shogun or rampage. Fought both those guys in their decline. In fact when he fought guys his size and age, he underperformed and looked average. Him and Conor MacGregor arethe perfect examples of cheating to make a weight class. In reality Jon was always a heavyweight. Dude is 6'5" and was probably popping illegal diuretics to make 205.

@@jdrum208 Jones is a great fighter. Anything can happen in the ring

@@EranRicos prime Jones claps any day every day

Yeah no USADA.

Today's champions would beat these guys up sooooooo

Soft generation z means soft fighters.

Facts. The 2000's era was the most hardcore time for fighting. Most of the today's fighters would not last back then. Too brutal.

actual champs not some stagged fights for social media and religion promotion

Mano o pride era top demais esse campeonato tinha uma essência diferente era loucura

Sim assistindo este vídeo vejo como o Brasil trata seus ídolos... Parou de ganhar... Morreu... Até mesmo a lenda Anderson Silva hoje é esquecido pela Midia..

Slk mano... Shogun levanto o rampage na bica lkkkk bagulho era dahora d+

Pro público pode ser q era maneiro ,mas pro lutador isso era uma merda. Shogun mesmo foi um lutador q aposentou aos 29 ,Vanderlei Silva então nem se fala ,o próprio Pro Cop aos 33 já não era ninguém, o mesmo se aplica pra Fedor . Hoje um lutador luta em alto nível até os 36,37 ,antes aos 30 já estavam como velhos .

@@gostodemaisdaroca4052 os lutadores atuais luta 1 vez por ano por isso chegam ate 36,37 anos lutando... Antigamente os cara tinha 2 ou 3 lutas no ano.. As pancada afeta o fisico e principalmente o mental.

Facts brother.

His rib got broken on one of their first exchanges and he basically just became a punching bag after that. What an insane level of toughness though, especially to eat those ruthless soccer kicks and then just sit there afterwards looking tired.

@@jonathanbradley4896 ya, he was a beast in his day.

se bem que pro Wand ele deu trabalho.

Best rules. Wish they made a comeback.. it's nowhere near as good now..

Yep! Until they met Chael Sonnen :-)

​@@songsofalifetime8508🙏🙏

He was only 23 years old here. It definitely wasn't his prime yet. You just think it was his prime because he went on quite a run in Pride. When this fight took place he was only a year and half removed from losing to Babalu. He definitely hit his prime while in the UFC. However, Pride rules were advantageous to his style of fighting.

Jones made him look like an amateur

@@jesses5463 he already had multiple knee surgeries by the time he got to the UFC so he wasn't in his prime. PRIDE Shogun was the closest to his physical prime that we saw.

@@maythefuhrerofunderstandin9624 Knee surgeries don't necessarily prevent one from reaching their prime in MMA, but under your theory that would simply mean he never competed at his prime.

@@jesses5463 in his case it definitely did though. He was never the same fighter and yes, we never got to see Shogun reach his full potential in MMA, it was tragic.

I like how he dismissed the fighting for his brother BS . All that’s out the window man 🤣

@@amsterdampattayathailand1947I missed that part. What's the timestamp?

@@NinjaDildoShow around the 4 min mark 🙏🏻

Phil Baroni is one fighter that definitely should've kept up commentary & gotten into comedy.

Phli Baroni is full of balloney

yeah.. exactly how mma should be

Agora ele é bonzinho?

Iria tomar uma surra do mesmo jeito. Talvez mais demorada.

​@@MegaZenaro com certeza rs. A galera tende a romancear demais as coisas.

@@diegobr9934 sim claro porque você tem bola de cristal pra saber... é cada chupeta por aqui.

@@MegaZenaro vai nessa .. uma coisa é pegar um cara cheio de problema no joelho, outra é pegar o cara no auge.

he got lucky by breaking his rib right away, relax.

“Got lucky” no such thing. He broke his ribs with his own knees that he threw at the right time. Give the guy his credit.

@@seethemore6360 Okay, so if it was some amazing skill, how come he never did it in any other fight? Lol, give it a rest. He got lucky.

@@user-es8tt4nr2z lol so your logic is because he never hit this exact move in other fights that must mean he got lucky?

@@seethemore6360 Yeah, he broke this guy's rib right away with a lucky shot and wasn't able to replicate it in other fights. If it's part of his gameplay and he does it consistently, why didn't he do it in other fights against other opponents?

I know Wandy and Shogun sparred hard together but if they actually did had to compete against each other it would’ve been interesting to watch

@@PaizuriKing_ I can only imagine what those old school shootabox sparring sessions went.

@@PaizuriKing_ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Pzpbofdxk0E.html Check this out. I has behind the scenes footage from that tourny and fedor v crocop. those days were the best.

se reparar, logo no início da luta, o shogun acerta uma joelhada no clinche, que quebra a costela do rampage. Ele passou o resto da luta só tentando sobreviver. De qualquer maneira, Shogun nessa época era um trator, rampage não aguentaria mesmo se estivesse 100 por cento.

False narrative. Rampage DID change the way he fights. He went from a guy who used to be grapple heavy to a guy who fell in love with his hands. It's a tale as old as the first wrestler that got the KO bug. Then all of a sudden, he got tired of facing grapplers. As for Shogun, him no longer being strong and explosive probably has a lot to do with the knee surgeries he's had for having a knee/kick heavy game.

@@dreamsofcosmicoceans8105 You didn't watch Shogun's first fight in the UFC? He was only 28 years in his first fight there. He completely gassed and zero explosivness whatsoever. He literally had to rely on his heavy hands and nothing. Both Mark Coleman (42 year old at that time) and Forest Griffin tired him out.🤦‍♂️

@@dreamsofcosmicoceans8105 In Pride, he had wars against Silva, Liddell 1, Randleman, and no, he was not grapple heavy. He relied a lot on his left hook and overhand right. Watch his fights. He fought against grapplers and thus he had to adjust to the ground, e.g when he fought Sakuraba and Arona. And in Pride, grappling was more accepted than UFC and so he grappled more but he was without a doubt a striker as well.

So just because a non black athlete won you have to accuse him of being on peds?

@@Celticsaint777 Why does this have to be about race? My favorite fighter was Fedor and he white. You race baiter. 👺

Jones anos depois deu um Coro nele

@@ligaoeste101disse bem .. ANOS depois. Aí ele tava no auge

@@filipe977 e daí jones foi lá e jantou esse prego

@@ligaoeste101 prego pq ?

corra atrás da reposta por acaso sou a sua babá@@filipe977

Pura verdade.

nessa epoca as luta eram praticamente briga de rua no octogono hoje em dia émais profissional a coisa os cara te levam pro chao e acaba a luta

Não foi isso não. Ele quebrou uma costela nssa luta

Sem tirar os méritos do Shogun, Isso explica o desempenho abaixo do normal do seu adversário.

@@Luiz-lx3oz Mas o dano foi causado pelo Shogun, então, o baixo desempenho do adversário foi consequência desse dano.

@@amaurileiteferreirajunior8237 Sim, sim, amigo. Por analogia, o que aconteceu é meio parecido com um jogo onde um dos adversários numa jogada de pura felicidade e sem muita pretensões faz um gol decisivo em poucos segundos do início da partida o qual se torna determinante para o resultado final. Sem tirar os méritos do excepcional Shogum daquela época, um pouco de sorte em qualquer atividade humana será sempre bem vinda e faz parte da vida esportiva.

I have broken ribs now. I can't imagine fighting with that ha ha. Ouch.

Thank you

Gracias por la info bro/ thanks for the info bro..i just saw shogun that shogun used muay thai knee then destroyed to rampage

I had a slightly fractured rib from a fall and even with adrenaline flowing it hurt tremendously to move even slightly. For Rampage to continue with a broken rib in that fight is super impressive. A true warrior.
