Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s iconic performance at PRIDE Final Conflict in 2003 comes to life as a new Alter Ego in UFC 5. Relive the night Jackson dominated Chuck Liddell in the famed Tokyo Dome, securing a second round TKO victory to advance to the finals. Known for his power and unrelenting pressure, Rampage’s PRIDE Alter Egos captures the energy and intensity of this unforgettable moment.
Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell’s unforgettable run in PRIDE Total Elimination in 2003 is also available as a new Alter Ego. At 33 years old, Liddell delivered a vintage performance, stopping a young Alistair Overeem with a flurry of punches in the first round. Fighting in Saitama, Japan, Liddell entered the quarterfinal bout with a 12-2 record, and wasted no time showcasing the devastating power that made him the legend fans see him as today.
Lastly is Anderson “The Spider” Silva, whose rise to greatness hit a new milestone in 2003 at PRIDE 25: Body Blow. At 27 years old, Silva took on Canada’s Carlos Newton in Yokohama, Japan. Although he entered the bout a slight underdog, it did not take Silva long to find the finish – earning a first-round TKO with a flying knee followed by precise striking. Entering the fight with a 10-1 record, Silva delivered a performance that showcased the skills that would soon make him a fan favorite and legend of the sport.
