Interesting ... I think they over payed though 
There was a lot of talk on MMA forums the past few months about PRIDE going under as well as rumours of UFC making a deal with them.
I would rather have seen them simply pay the top guys more $ that alone would drive more fighters from PRIDE to UFC. Oh well.
