PRIDE Shockwave 2006 was a mixed martial arts event held by PRIDE Fighting Championships on December 31, 2006.
The main event was scheduled to be heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko defending his heavyweight championship against the winner of the Absolute Grand Prix, but Mirko Filipovic was recovering from foot surgery he underwent on October 26th and could not be fighting at Shockwave. Josh Barnett, the Absolute Grand Prix runner up, was also a contender to face Emelianenko, as mentioned by the heavyweight champion in a PRIDE 32 post-fight press conference, but was "not in the best condition" to compete. Instead, Fedor was said to be defending his title against Mark Hunt.
The event featured a mix of full PRIDE rules and Bushido rules, with the 160 pound and 183 pound fighters fighting under Bushido's rules. The sole exception however is the fight between Minowa and Tamura, as both had requested to fight under full PRIDE rules as well as fight in the opening fight of the night.
