Pride FC 5: Takada Triumphs Over Coleman in Nagoya Showdown

Pride 5 was held on April 29, 1999, at Nagoya Rainbow Hall in Nagoya, Japan. Nobuhiko Takada submitted Mark Coleman with a heel hook at 1:44 of round two in the main event. Kazushi Sakuraba defeated Vitor Belfort by unanimous decision, and Enson Inoue submitted Soichi Nishida by rear-naked choke in 24 seconds.

PRIDE 5 results beyond Takada–Coleman

The event record lists six professional MMA contests. Igor Vovchanchyn defeated Akira Shoji by unanimous decision, Francisco Bueno stopped Satoshi Honma with punches, and Egan Inoue earned a punching stoppage against Minoru Toyonaga.

Enson Inoue’s 24-second submission was the quickest finish among those recorded fights. Egan Inoue’s victory came at 5:53 of the first round. The two decision bouts, Sakuraba against Belfort and Vovchanchyn against Shoji, both reached the end of the second round.

The exhibition and the competitive card

BoutReview’s contemporary card also lists a five-minute jiu-jitsu exhibition between Rickson Gracie and Royler Gracie. That exhibition should be distinguished from the professional MMA results when counting the event’s competitive bouts.

Across the six MMA contests, two ended by submission, two by technical knockout and two by unanimous decision. This balance gives the event a broader profile than the headline result alone: it included grappling finishes, striking stoppages and fights completed for the judges.

The date and venue identify this as PRIDE’s fifth numbered event in Nagoya. Reviewing its individual outcomes preserves the details of the supporting card as well as the main event, while keeping the exhibition in its separate role.
