Pride 33, one of the greatest events of all time!,
What can I say. Being in the 3rd row was insane. This show has it all—knock outs, subs, and one decision by Trigg. Sokoudjou turned heads. Gomi vs Diaz was the fight of 2007 according to many. Shogun, Hellboy. Mac Danzig vs Sakurai—WOw. Henso vs Wand—yikes. The PPV showed the complete show from beginning to end.
This is an event that marked the end of Pride in the USA, and in general, as 34 was nowhere near the level of this event.
A must buy for any MMA fan.

Best Pride event ever.,
This is IMO the best Pride event I’ve seen and one of the best MMA events I’ve seen. It’s too bad it came at the end of Pride as an MMA Org.
Takanori Gomi vs. Nick Diaz is in my top 5 fights ever, the action is back and forth throughout with each guy taking some of the others best shots. It ends with a rare submission after one of the fighters runs out of gas. Great fight.
Wanderlei Silva vs. Dan Henderson is a very good fight another that has great back and forth action with a brutal KO ending.
Hayato Sakurai vs Mac Danzig is another very good fight with a great ending. This card also includes one of Frank Trigg’s better fights against Kazuo Misaki and this event also introduced most MMA fans to Sokoudjou with his first of two big upsets.
If you’re an MMA fan even if you’re a casual one I highly recommend buying this DVD. You shouldn’t be disappointed top to bottom this is a great event.

#2 PRIDE event ever,
Many sites have called this card the best PRIDE event ever and the Gomi/Diaz fight the best fight ever. While I give the first title to PRIDE 14 and the second title to Diego Sanchez/Joe Stevenson at UFC 95, you will not be dissappointed by the quality of this event. Several quick knockouts and a few extremely tight submissions on this DVD; only one fight goes to a decision. The full card is:
Joachim Hansen/Jason Ireland
Kazuo Misaki/Frank Trigg
Travis Wiuff/James Lee
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira/Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou
Hayato Sakurai/Mac Danzig
Sergey Kharitonov/Mike Russow
Mauricio Rua/Alistair Overeem
Takanori Gomi/Nick Diaz
MIDDLEWEIGHT (205) CHAMPIONSHIP: Wanderlei Silva/Dan Henderson
There is something for everyone on this card, and it is well worth the purchase. For those who complain about the lack of fighter entrances, they are on the DVD, just in the special features.
