This event featured the first round of Pride's 2006 Open-Weight tournament. Seven tournament matches were held along with one alternate match. The seven winning participants advanced to the second round, [[Pride Critical Countdown Absolute]]. The winner of the alternate bout will take the place of any fighter who is unable to participate in subsequent matches.

Pride Heavyweight Champion and 2004 Heavyweight Grand Prix winner [[Fedor Emelianenko]] was originally set to enter the tournament with a first round bye, but a hand injury prevented him from participating. [[Wanderlei Silva]], then current Pride middleweight champion, received his bye into the second round.
