Summary: Great show for Pride.
Review: Pride Fighting Championship is the Super Bowl of the Mixed Martial Arts. This event is from the Seibu Dome outside of Tokyo, Japan. Nine fights are shown and one omitted from the DVD. The first fight is between Vitor Belfort and Daijiro Matsui. Belfort the UFC 12 Heavyweight Tournament Champion shocked the world by defeating Gilbert Yvel at Pride 9 also at Pride 9 Matsui suffered a five minute beating at the hands of Igor Vovchanchyn. This fight is a long, but interesting fight.The second fight is between Lion's Den fighter Guy Mezger and "The Axe Murderer" Vanderlei Silva. Mezger is a former King of Pancrase and the UFC 13 Middleweight Tournament Champion with a win over Tito Ortiz. Silva an International Vale Tudo and UFC veteran with knockout victories over Mike Van Arsedale and Todd Medina. This fight is a short, but exciting fight. The third fight is between Ricco Rodriguez and "Giant" Ochiai. Rodriguez at the time was the King of the Cage Heavyweight Champion also was the 1998 Abu Dhubi Submission Wrestling Tournament champion in the 99kg and above weight class and stunned the Pride organzation by beating Gary Goodridge at Pride 9. Ochiai had only one fight before this fight. This fight may surprise you, but the ending won't. The fourth fight is between "The Hurricane" Gilbert Yvel and "Big Daddy" Gary Goodridge. Yvel a former RINGS Openweight Champion and a Cage Fight Tournament winner. Goodridge is the UFC 8 finalist and the International Vale Tudo Championship 1 Tournament winner also holds knockout victories over Oleg Taktarov and Paul Herrera. The is another short and exciting fight with an ending that will leave you speechless. The fifth fight is between "The Titan" Mark Kerr and Borisov Igor. Kerr the UFC 14 & 15 Heavyweight Tournament Champion, The World Vale Tudo Championship 3 Tournament winner and 1999 and 2000 Abu Dhubi Submisson Wrestling tournament winner in the openweight part of the event. Igor is a Sambo Champion out of Russia, but this is second Mixed Martial Arts fight. The fight is good, but the ending will not surprise you. The sixth fight is between Enson Inoue and "The Lethal Weapon of the North" Igor Vovchanchyn. Inoue is a UFC 13 veteran and Japan Vale Tudo veteran and holds a victory over UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture. Vovchanchyn is a IFC Tournament winner, The World Vale Tudo Championship 5 tournament winner and the Pride Grand Prix 2000 tournament finalist. This is a great fight and brutal. The seventh fight is between Ken Shamrock and Kazuyuki Fujita. Fujita shocked the whole Mixed Martial Arts world with his victory over Mark Kerr. Shamrock is the first King of Pancrase and a UFC Superfight champion. This fight is alright, but the ending is really confusing. The Masaki Satake vs. Kazunari Mukarami is not on the DVD. The eighth fight is between Ryan Gracie and Tokimitsu Ishizawa. Ishizawa is pro wrestler Kendo Ka Shin from the New Japan Pro Wrestling Organzation. This fight is very short, but exciting. The ninth and final fight is between Kazushi Sakuraba and Renzo Gracie. Sakuraba holds victories over two of Renzo family members Royler & Royce. Renzo is the World Combat Championship Tournament winner and holds a knockout victory over Oleg Taktarov. This fight is great and the ending may make you cringe. Overall a great DVD, but I wish they would show the entrances of all the fighters.

Summary: One of the better ones
Review: Pride really hit it's peak with "Return of the Warriors". An excellent event with great matchups, Pride 10 really takes the cake. Fights that really stand out were the Vanderlei Silva/Guy Mezger fight, Gary Goodridge/Yvel encounter, Kazuyuki Fujita/ Ken Shamrock, Ryan Gracie/Tokimitsu Ishizawa, and the exceptional main event between Renzo Gracie and Kazushi Sakuraba. The main event was another Sakuraba vs. a Gracie matchup. Royce and Royler had proven not to have the tools to beat Sakuraba. Royler really had no business in a NHB fight, while Royce let his fight against Sak carry out for over an hour. Renzo is another fighter all together. His style incorporates more striking and is very initiative. In two exciting rounds we saw two great fighters really giving the audience a treat. The end of the fight saw perhaps one of the most sensational results in MMA history. Great card!

Summary: So far, the best Pride I have seen....
Review: Return of the Warriors is by far the most action packed Pride I have seen. I just purchased it, and I think to myself: 'why didn't I buy this DVD first?' out of the 9 matches on this DVD/Video; at least 7 is awesome. *Match 1*
Vitor Belfort vs. Daijiro Matsui
-This match was the icebreaker for this great event. alot of ground fighting, but, with the man in the guard punishing the man on the bottom. not the most exciting match, but, it got the event going.... *Match 2* <--Awesome Fight/Best fight of the event
Guy Mezger vs. Vanderlei Silva
-From the beginning bell to the end, this match is non-stop. not a single take down was attempted. this match was a straight ahead brawl. one of the best knockouts in a very long time.... *Match 3*
Ricco Rodriguez vs. Giant Ochiai
-This match is both stand-up and take down. a couple of slick defense moves on the mat made this match last longer than anticipated.... *Match 4*
Gilbert Yvel vs. Gary Goodridge
-Oh My Goodridge!! Do not blink during this match.... *Match 5*
Mark Kerr vs. Borisov Igor
-This is a match between a veteran of Pride and a new-comer. American Wrestling vs. Russian Sambo. a fighter in alot of pain is left on the mat after the match.... *Match 6*
Enson Inoue vs. Igor Vovchanchyn
-One man at the opening bell threw many wild rights and lefts. a lot of action for the first couple of minutes. but, when it goes to the ground, a lot of punishment is dealt out. even with his opponent in the guard, he takes alot of punishment....a little too much.... *Match 7*
Ken Shamrock vs. Kazuyuki Fujita <--Awesome fight
-One man is coming back for his 2nd match in his long lay-off, the other man is coming off of one of the biggest upsets in NHB history. alot of action in this match as well. 2 very tired fighters with an ending that lets you realize that stamina is definately a key in fighting.... *Match 8*
Ryan Gracie vs. Tokimitsu Ishizawa
-very explosive debut for one of these fighters. after getting put in a semi-submission move in the beginning, the fighter is able to work his way out and dominate from there.... *Match 9/Main Event*
Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Renzo Gracie
-Unlike the Royler/Sakuraba fight, Renzo is definately game. the first round is excellent. many counters and not too many attempts at ...-scoot kicks. again, Renzo is game. but, with time almost running out, another shocking ending was amongst the NHB-world.... this is definately a must buy if you are a collector of Pride. I was once a fan of the UFC, but, Pride is where all the top fighters in the world compete. do not accept any pretenders, this is the best mixed martial arts competition EVER.

Summary: A must-have for MMA enthusiasts
Review: Simply, Pride 10 "Return of the Warriors" is one of the greatest mixed martial arts cards ever assembled. Other than one complete mismatch (Kerr vs. Igor), this DVD shows why Pride Fighting is so respected and closely followed by legions of onlookers all over the globe.
Whether a fan of ground and pound, stand-up striking, powerful knockouts, or submission manuvers, you will not be disappointed with the action from Pride 10. Watch as Silva and Mezger exchange blows in a battle that would make "Toughman" promoters green with envy. See one of the most underrated fighters of all time, Kazuyuki Fujita, exhaust Ken Shamrock. Pick your jaw up from the floor after witnessing one of the most spectacular knockouts in MMA history, as Gilbert Ivel kicks Gary Goodridge into a deep sleep. And what better a way to end this show than with Sakuraba's kimura from hell; a spinning fury of a move that turned Renzo Gracie's left elbow inside-out. By all means grab "Return of the Warriors" and enjoy. Top to bottom, this may be the most exciting card ever compiled for the Pride Fighting Championships.

Summary: Very good fights
Review: This is the best Pride event I have seen so far. It had everything a mixed-martial-arts tournament should have. If you haven't seen a Pride event, I recommend seeing this one. I don't want to spoil anything with details.

Summary: Great MMA action!!
Review: This is yet another PRIDE event, which just continue to get better. The action is great...from the 1 kick knock-out to the "elbow popping" ending. This DVD shows why the PRIDE event is rated above UFC, King of the Cage, and Battlecade - no comparison.
