The finding
What the evidence shows
Joe was right that Pride did not run 15 minutes straight and that its first round was 10 minutes. But a standard Pride fight had three rounds, a 10-minute first round followed by two 5-minute rounds, for 20 minutes in total. The 10-then-5 format he described was only used at Pride's Bushido events and on Grand Prix nights when fighters had to fight twice.

Quick answer
Is it true that the pride organization used a format of a 10-minute round followed by a 5-minute round?
Partly. The claim stretches what the evidence shows. Joe was right that Pride did not run 15 minutes straight and that its first round was 10 minutes. But a standard Pride fight had three rounds, a 10-minute first round followed by two 5-minute rounds, for 20 minutes in total. Joe Rogan said it (matched by voice) on JRE MMA Show #186 with Sean Sharaf, aired Oct 1, 2026, at 1:00:10. The supporting source is en.wikipedia.org, linked below.
