Pride FC 6: Results and Event Recap
Pride 6 took place on July 4, 1999, at Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan. Mark Kerr submitted Nobuhiko Takada with a kimura at 3:04 of round one in the main event. Kazushi Sakuraba submitted Ebenezer Fontes Braga by armbar, and Naoya Ogawa submitted Gary Goodridge with a keylock.
Three submission wins at PRIDE 6
Kerr’s victory was the quickest of the event’s three submissions. Sakuraba’s armbar came at 9:23 of the opening round, while Ogawa finished Goodridge 36 seconds into round two. Each finish involved a shoulder or elbow attack, giving joint locks a prominent place among the night’s recorded results.
The bouts that reached the judges
Akira Shoji defeated Guy Mezger by split decision after three rounds. Igor Vovchanchyn also won a split decision, beating Carlos Barreto. Carlos Newton earned a unanimous decision against Daijiro Matsui, and Carl Ognibene, also known as Carl Malenko, defeated Egan Inoue unanimously.
Those four decisions and three submissions account for the complete seven-fight card. No bout on the event record ended by knockout or technical knockout. Two of the four decisions were split, while the other two were unanimous.
For readers revisiting PRIDE’s early events, the results give a compact view of how this particular card unfolded. The main event ended in the first round, but most of the remaining contests required either a later submission or the judges’ verdict. The event thus paired a decisive headline finish with a substantial number of completed fights.
