I had many of the same thoughts. I really thought that some of the Pride fighters, especially the Heavyweights, would fare better in the UFC. Boy, was I wrong. Heath Herring is the bust of the century, Cro Cop was thrashed, and don't forget Werdum was unable to generate a kernel of offense against Arlovski. I know it was a boring fight, but Andrei fought a smart fight against a grappler the quality of Werdum.
I'm still waiting to see how Nogueira does but based on the performance of the other Pride transplants, I might have to re-evaluate my opinion of Fedor as the best MMA fighter on the planet! Not until I see Fedor against the best of the UFC will I be able to consider him as invincible as I once thought.
