Pride FC was once upon a time the biggest MMA organization in the world.
In Part 3 of the Rise and Fall of Pride, we explore the rise of the Holy Trinity of heavyweights: Fedor, Noguiera, and Cro Cop. We also take a look at the career of Shogun Rua, before performing a eulogy for the death of the organization.
