Pride 14 Vitor/Herring

[PatrickH]

Anyone elses excited about this fight?

Vitor is giving up some weight, but I think this will be a very good fight.

I wonder which Vitor will show up?

hungry-fast-aggressive Vitor

or

Slow-bloated-lacking in heart Vitor

we'll soon know

I am rooting for Herring! But I can see Vitor stopping Heath's streak of wins.

[DIRE WOLF]

I think Vitor has got what it takes to beat Herring.

[Maui Jim]

full 14 line-up?

What's the full line-up for 14 and what are the rule changes that took place since pride 12?

[PatrickH]

I don't think the full lineup has been released just yet. The rest of the fights are set to be release by DSE this week.


Stay tuned

[vortrex]

what a boring card.

[PatrickH]

I like the

Vitor/Herring
Henderson/Shoji
and Igor/Yvel

the rest don't really get me excited about the event. I think it's great how the UFC has made it back from the ruins and is on top again.

[YeLLa-TiGeR]

I am excited about every match. Especially Pele and Silva....

Shoji, I have been wanting to see again. Mezger and Liddell is going to be a standup war!!

Where's Sak

How come I don't see Sak on this tentative card?

[Shimora]

The great Saku is in the Mountains with Takada training for his rematch with Silva. He will return to reclaim his rightful title.

Final 14 not in stone

Well it's good to know 14 is not in stone yet
It will be a bloody fight from the get go with Silva setting the pace
and Sak looking for his mistakes. IMHO

[PatrickH]

How that they've added Johil de Olivera vs. Nino Schembri to the card I'm beginning to get a little more excited about the card. It's shaping up to be a good event but is missing that one fight that seems to get everyone excited.

I'm interested to see how Herring does against Vitor. Vitor seems to have his head on straight and is training like he means it. If that's the case, then we'll know a lot more about Herring when this fight is over.

Heath Herring vs. Tom Erikson

After seeing the Heath Herring vs. Tom Erikson, I get a bit nervous for Victor, It should definitely be a fast pace war with the win going to...........?
Heath Herring vs. Tom Erikson was a really emotional fight and I hope Herring shows the same type of response, both Victor and Herring are great in the stand up so this one could find it self on the ground for the win going to Victor by a hair. IMHO
