It's such a shame something like this gets almost no views when other mma channels put almost no effort in.

[@houseofmouseboxer490]

I really appreciate the comment. Thank you.
When/If the channel gets more views, maybe videos like this will get more exposure.

ERRATUM
11:06 The fighter in the still image is Yvonne Trevino, not Brenda Rouse.

This was pretty 👍

[@SawBoss591]

RINGS was better than PRIDE. There, I said it.

[@dnickx]

It was its own thing...like a lot of Promotions it had some stinkers but yeah, Rings was awesome and probably in part or like you said, much better than Pride

[@houseofmouseboxer490]

It'd be an exaggeration to say that PRIDE wouldn't exist without RINGS, but there's a solid connection between the two. Akira Maeda gave Kazuyoshi Ishii a lot of support and advice while the latter was building K-1, and K-1's success in the 90s definitely helped make PRIDE's creation possible.
