TAPE 88

Quality: EX (*MASTER*)

Length: 3 hrs (DVD)

PRIDE 4 - 10/11/98 (Really good show from the early days of the MMA group Pride.  The
 	Gracie/Takada fight is really good as is the Shoji fight and several of the others.  This is
 	the US version of the show, so commentary is in English.  I've got a master, so quality is
	perfect.)

	Igor Vovchanchyn vs Gary Goodridge
	Akira Shoji vs Wallid Ismail
	Sanae Kikuta vs Daijiro Matsui (Uh...not a good fight)
	Kazushi Sakuraba vs Allan Goes (Good fight - ***1/2)
	Naoki Sano vs Satoshi Honma
	Alexander Otsuka vs Marco Ruas (Ruas comes into the fight ill leading to one of the all-time
 		great upsets in MMA history)
	Mark Kerr vs Hugo Duarte (Wild fight as Duarte whines about everything that Kerr does before
 		finally CRAWLING out of the ring to get away)
	Nobuhiko Takada vs Rickson Gracie (Why doesn't Takada fight like this more often?  He looks
 		really good here, certainly not "outclassed" or "embarrassed" as it's often described.)
