It's a Japanese MMA organization. From 2000-2007, Pride FC (Japanese MMA org) was the main competitor to the UFC and was the only org to have better talent than the UFC at any point in time. Many UFC and MMA legends came from Pride. Pride knew how to put on a show and give the events an epic feel, something the UFC hasn't been able to do. UFC fights are amazing but lack the aura that Pride fights had.
Pride was bought out by the UFC in '07 and there hasn't been anything like it since. Recently, RIZIN was created (by the same guy who created Pride) to compete with the UFC.
In Pride they would have a huge opening with drums, amazing music, light show, flames, fireworks, then would parade all of the fighters onto a huge stage. They made it feel like you were about to witness something amazing. The UFC does not have that feel. They made it seem like seem like some underground sport, whereas Pride made it feel like some epic Gladiator match. The goal of RIZIN is to bring that back.
Dogs are awesome but they require lots of commitment and attention.
I only suggest dogs to people who are settled down, don't plan to travel a whole lot, and can provide the dog with lots of attention. Think of the dog as a child.
Those are my picks.
