Top 10 Pride DVDs Everyone Should Have in Their Collection

Having an entire library of Pride events can be a satisfying feeling for any MMA fan, and it can also help to introduce newer fans to the biggest stars of the sport and the fights that defined them.

Fighters like Wanderlei Silva, Fedor Emelianenko, Mirko "Cro Cop" Flipovic, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Kazushi Sakuraba all made names for themselves fighting in the organization before its buy-out from the UFC in 2007.
