Silva isn't fighting.
This is from Dave Meltzer: Wanderlei Silva will not be fighting on the show. After the Nevada commission was told yesterday that his clearance from a Brazilian doctor was going to be sent, and it was expected it would be approved, at the press conference they announced out of concern for Silva's long-term career they decided against using him. Don't know if that was UFC hoping to salvage Silva's career by keeping him out when he was likely nowhere near fully ready.
 
Crocop really ****ed his *** up...This is disappointing news, I knew it was a possibility, but I think the card is still very strong though...I'm sure Wanderlei is upset that he cant be on the last card for the organization he helped build..
 
There is also another fight added...

Gilbert Yvel vs. Akira Shoji

On just a few hours notice, Pride was able to secure Akira Shoji to take on Gilbert Yvel. A visibly moved Shoji was proud to be able to participate on DSE's final Pride event. Yvel originally was scheduled to face Bazigit Atajev, but he had to withdraw due to an "internal disease."

Sakikabara didn't stop there though. In his final moments as head of Pride, he announced that his final fight card may not yet be finished, "I am still working on surprises for [the] show. We have the official announcement of eight matches, but I am still working on giving you one more or maybe two more fights because that is the last thing that I can give you as the promoter of this Pride. So please look forward to a big surprise."

Yeah of course, but you know a lot of these fighters aren't looking at it that way...They don't know for sure whats going to happen, but they do know after this show, things will change, and their bosses are going to be different....
