Pride FC
In June 1998, Newton lost a technical bout in Pride Fighting Championships against Kazushi Sakuraba. Neither Sakuraba nor Pride FC had truly come into their own at that time, but the Sakuraba vs. Newton fight is remembered today as a classic. Newton's successes since his first encounter with Hughes have been few, but notable. Newton rebounded from his first loss to Hughes with a spectacular armbar or juji-gatame victory over Jose "Pele" Landi-Jons at Pride 19 in February, 2002, and in October, 2003 Newton won a split-decision victory over the estimable Renzo Gracie at Pride Bushido 1.
