Pride ones was the biggest Sporting Event in Japan. The Tokyo Dome was always filled with 90.000 Japanese people. There was silence in the Tokyo Dome!!
Maybe it's not such a huge difference while watching Soccer.. but it's certainly a trend which stands out the most.
It's because of a different culture with very different manners.

You'll notice the difference in irregular sports like these because of different kinds of stimulation. The UFC purposely focuses on the "raw" attitude, pumping fans up with rock music, girls in bikinis, and replays of carnage. Japanese MMA is a totally different spectacle, where the focus is different.
But compare Japanese fans and American fans in other sports like soccer, baseball, etc and they're no different. It's not about the manners, but how the sport is portrayed and advertised.
