PRIDE or PRIDE Fighting Championships in Japan is the world's most popular mixed martial arts championship. Its inaugural event was held at the Tokyo Dome on October 11th, 1997. The Pride Final Elimination 2003 event had 65,000 people in the audience. The audience record is 90,000 people on the Pride and K-1 co-production called Shockwave/Dynamite held August 2002. Pride's rules result in similar styles of fighting as seen in Ultimate Fighting Championship in the United States. Unlike the UFC, where matches take place within a cage, Pride holds its bouts within a ring similar to a boxing ring. ==Pride Rules== (taken from [http://www.pridefc.com PrideFC.com]) Fights take place over three rounds. The opening round lasting 10 minutes, whilst rounds two and three are 5 minutes each. Matches are won by: #Knock out #Submission, (a fighter taps either the mat or his opponent three times) #Technical knock out, (referee stoppage, doctor stoppage or a fighter's corner throws in the towel) #Decision. If the match goes the duration then it is scored by three judges. They will look for, (in order of priority), the effort made to finish the fight via KO or submission, damage given to the opponent, standing combinations & ground control and aggressiveness. Pride matches are judged over the entire match length, not scored round by round. This can lead to fighters winning matches by ending strongly, despite not being in control for the majority of the match. Fights cannot be declared a draw. #Disqualification. Rule infractions result in the issuing of yellow cards. Three such infractions will result in a fighter being disqualified. #No Contest. In the event of both fighters committing rule infractions the match may be declared a no contest. Illegal moves: *No head butting, eye gouging, hair pulling, biting or fish hooking. *No attacking the groin *No strikes (kicks, elbows, punching) to the back of the head (which includes the occipital region and the spine). The sides of the head and the area around the ears are not considered to be the back of the head. *No small joint manipulation (control of four or more fingers/toes is necessary). *No elbow strikes to the head and face. *No intentionally throwing your opponent out of the ring. *No running out of the ring. *No purposely holding the ropes. Fighters cannot purposely hang an arm or leg on the ropes. Hanging on the ropes will result in an immediate warning. *No kicks or knees to the head or the face of an opponent who falls face down. *No application of oil, ointment, spray, Vaseline, massaging cream, hair cream, or any other substances is permitted to any part of the fighter's body before and during the fights. The discovery of any of these substances will result in a disqualification. Matches held in the Bushido, or Grand Prix tournaments may take place under slightly modified rules. (Number of rounds, no judges decision, more than one match for a fighter in an event). ==Notable Pride Fighters== *Ricardo Arona (Current PRIDE FC Middleweight contender) *Mark Coleman (PRIDE FC 2000 Grand Prix Champion) *Fedor Emelianenko (Current PRIDE FC Heavyweight Champion & PRIDE FC 2004 Heavyweight Grand Prix Champion) *Mirko Filipovic (Faced Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at PRIDE Final Conflict 2003 for the PRIDE FC Interim Heavyweight Championship) *Kazuyuki Fujita (Former PRIDE FC Heavyweight contender; Nearly KOd Fedor Emelianenko at PRIDE 26) *Takanori Gomi (Current top PRIDE FC Lightweight) *Gary Goodridge (Former PRIDE FC Heavyweight gatekeeper) *Dan Henderson (Current PRIDE FC Middleweight contender) *Heath Herring (Faced Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at PRIDE 17 for the PRIDE FC Heavyweight Championship; Former PRIDE FC Heavyweight gatekeeper) *Quinton Jackson (PRIDE FC 2003 Middleweight Grand Prix finalist) *Sergei Kharitonov (Current PRIDE FC Heavyweight contender) *Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (Current PRIDE FC Middleweight contender) *Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (First PRIDE FC Heavyweight Champion; Former PRIDE FC Interim Heavyweight Champion; PRIDE FC 2004 Heavyweight Grand Prix finalist) *Mauricio Rua (Current PRIDE FC Middleweight contender) *Kazushi Sakuraba (Gracie Hunter, defeating Royler, Royce, Renzo and Ryan Gracie; Faced Wanderlei Silva at PRIDE 17 for the PRIDE FC Middleweight Championship) *Semmy Schilt (Former PRIDE FC Heavyweight gatekeeper) *Wanderlei Silva (Current PRIDE FC Middleweight Champion & PRIDE FC 2003 Middleweight Grand Prix Champion) *Nobuhiko Takada (First PRIDE FC drawing card; Puroresu legend) *Igor Vovchanchyn (PRIDE FC 2000 Grand Prix finalist) *Hidehiko Yoshida (Current big PRIDE drawing card) ==External Links== *[http://www.pridefc.com Official Pride FC Site] *[http://www.pridefc.com/pride2004/about/rules.htm Official PRIDE FC Rules] *[http://mmareview.com/pride_championship_history.htm PRIDE Championship History (MMAReview)] *[http://mmareview.com/pride_tournament_information.htm PRIDE Tournament History (MMAReview)] Mixed martial arts
In English, the term "pride" referes a sense of self-respect, a refusal to be humiliated as well as joy in one's accomplishments. In this sense, "pride" is among the most-quoted themes of political and societal discourse of English-speaking nations, especially of the United States. This stands in some contrast to that nation's general image of itself as a mostly Christian society. In Christianity, pride (or vanity) is the excessive belief in one's own abilities that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is listed as one of the seven deadly sins, as ''superbia''. Pride is also condemned in Hinduism. Ravana, an evil king who was killed by Rama, avatar of Vishnu, exhibited deadly sins of pride and lust. Some languages distinguish between the two senses of pride; in French language, self-respect is ''fierté'' and vanity is ''orgueuil''. Secondary pride is a little-known but often felt variant of pride. The pride you feel for what your ancestors, your children, your country or your football team have done is classified as secondary or vicarious pride. Arrogance is the act of obtaining rights or advantages, including merely rhetorical advantages, through violence or threats of violence, or through verbal violence. Arrogance is as much an aspect of aggression as it is of pretension, which is unwarranted pride. An arrogant person is not merely unjustifiably confident in their own ability and value, but one actively seeking to cow or belittle other "lesser" people in order to achieve their ends. ------ Pride also refers to a family group of lions. In late medieval literary circles, a stylish wordgame was made of inventing new collective nouns, to add to the already rich store the English language had, which was partly based on aristocratic hunting jargon. Some did not pass the test of time: "an exaltation of larks." But a "pride of lions" passed into the genuine language. ---- Pride is sometimes used as shorthand for gay pride. ==See also== *Narcissism *Victory disease ==External links== * [http://www.deadlysins.com/sins/pride.html Deadly Sins: Pride] Ethics Vice
English (by way of Attic Greek) also distinguishes between two senses with the terms pride and hubris, no? :More accurately, "in order for modern English to distinguish between two senses— with the loss of ''vainglory''— it must borrow from Greek ''hubris.''" Improve it and work the idea into the entry. --User:Wetman 13:19, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC) Should this be moved to spiritual pride, since that is what the article is about? --User:NoPetrol 03:16, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC) :Surely "spiritual pride" would make a better subsection here and be enriched by the context. If you can make it a ''report'' on what "spiritual pride" has meant (quotes always help), and not an essay or a sermon, then give it a go! --User:Wetman 03:24, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
