PRIDE Fighting Championships (defunct)
Historically, PRIDE's rules differed between main PRIDE events and Bushido events. However, it was announced on November 29, 2006, that Bushido events would be discontinued. When holding events in the US, PRIDE abided by the Unified Rules, but added the prohibition against elbows to the head.

Famous quotes containing the words pride and/or fighting:
“Patriotism is proud of a country’s virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country’s virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. It wants to be, and proclaims itself to be, “the greatest,” but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is.”
—Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)
“Gladstone in Great Britain and Parnell in Ireland, under the watchword, “Home Rule for Ireland,” are fighting the battle of self-government for all mankind.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
