I miss the old vitor.

You and me both.

Like I have pointed out in another thread, Vitor is still young and I believe that we haven't seen the best Vitor Belfort that he can be yet. Just my opinion.

Takahashi has had some success in Pancrase, but I don't see him beating Vitor. This one should be all Vitor, as long as his mind is in the game for a change.

I think this is good for Pride.
I think Pride has realized that it needs more 'name fighters' ... guys that people know. I think having these guys will help raise the image of Pride to the next level, and then people might even start to know some of their Japanese fighters. The Japanese names make it difficult to remember who is who.

They actually do have alot name fighters. Just not big names in the U.S. because they don't get as much exposure in North America as the UFC does. That will all change as they start to show live events on tv and more people start to see how huge that org really is.

As far as Pride raising it's image, they are doing alright in that catagory. They are more known worldwide than UFC by far and really are the biggest MMA organization around.

I'd like to see vitor vs. wand again. No way Vitor wins this time.

I would love to see that rematch.
