Pride Rumors(props to Ninja420 at mmatv)

Tom Erickson over at sherdogs posted that herring vs bobish is not confirmed. You can read into that however you want, perhaps it means bobish vs erickson, which would be a super heavyweight fight.
Sportsnavi.com today hinted that busta vs henderson will fight the reserve match, we know thats confirmed, but they also said dse side mentioned ninja and shogun possibly on the card.

And Mr kawasaki cleared up some pride rumors.

"There are several rumors floating around, that are simply not possible, though DSE has several more matches yet to announce. The rumored Rogerio 'Minotoro' Nogueira versus Alexander Emelianenko is speculation only, as there is no time for the Russian fighter to obtain the proper visas at this time.

Another rumor has Ryan Gracie as a stand by alternate. Ryan is not in negotiations at this time, and will nor be at the event. Despite name value, Kiyoshi Tamura is not being considered for this PRIDE, and Josh Barnett is in the midst of a pro wrestling tour and unavailable as well."

Good thing they're not planning on bringing back Tamura. I personally would love to see Herring vs. Erikson II.
