This dvd contains the now defunct Pride FC's 2004 New year's eve supershow. Of the 11 fights featured only Ryo Chonan vs Anderson Silva (featuring one of the most memorable submissions ever) Takanori Gomi vs Jens Pulver, Mark Hunt vs Wanderlei Silva and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Fedor Emelianko are outstanding matches that you'll want to rewatch again and again. The rest is mostly filler unfortunately. Crocop vs Randleman is a big disappointment and the booked main event for the Japanese audience of olympic judo medalist Hidehiko Yoshida vs olympic wrestling medalist Rulon Gardner is a borefest. Recommended if you're an MMA fan and you already have the must-have Pride shows in your collection like the 2003 and 2005 GP events. This dvd contains English commentary only.
