The thing I like about UFC's compared to Pride or other NHB events is the cage/fence ring. It is tough to watch the cage live but for the action can't get stalled on issues that come with the ring. I have seen a several of the fighters cross over from to different shows so I believe the fighter caliber is pretty close if not equal. I give UFC an advantage given the cage factor and being the event does not get a lot of the stalls that happen in the other shows that are held in a boxing ring. I am involved with lots of events with the fight scene here in Colorado. The boxing rings work great for kickboxing, shoot boxing, mauy thai, you name it, but I find it has flaws when NHB or MMA events are held in those rings. We had a cage here in Colorado for several events and I found thouse fighters and fights did not have the issues you find in ringed matches. I would think a guy with lots of time in the UFC style ring would have an edge on a guy who has spent his time in the boxing ring style only...just my guess.
