Why this card matters

One of only two cards in PRIDE's own card set that carry Sakuraba, and the lower-numbered of the pair. It sits in the set's run of two-fighter bout cards (roughly #64 to #126) and depicts his meeting with Antônio Rogério Nogueira at Pride Shockwave 2003 on 31 December 2003, which Nogueira won by unanimous decision. For a fighter who carried the promotion, being a co-subject rather than a solo base card is the striking thing about his Pride cardboard.

Identification

Missing a front scan. Contribute one.

  • Number 101 in the bout-card run; title order on the checklist is Antônio Rogério Nogueira / Kazushi Sakuraba
  • Two-fighter card, same format as #97 Hidehiko Yoshida / Royce Gracie and #67 Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira / Mirko Cro Cop
  • Set numbering runs 1–94 (solo cards and early bout cards), through the bout run to about #126, then #127–#135 for the signature subset; Sakuraba is not in the signature subset
03

Disputed

Sources disagree

The number comes from MMA Rookies' set index and card page only; no second database confirmed it. That index is internally consistent with the archive's existing 2006 Pride records (its #97 is Hidehiko Yoshida / Royce Gracie, matching what the archive already holds from an eBay source), which is why this is 'probable' rather than 'uncertain'. The parallel types are listed by Cardbase as variations of the set as a whole — Base, Gold Foil Signature, Silver Foil Signature, Holographic and Promos — and were not confirmed for this specific number.
