Pride FC 14: Results and Event Recap
Pride 14: Clash of the Titans took place on May 27, 2001, at Yokohama Arena in Japan. Kazuyuki Fujita defeated Yoshihiro Takayama by technical submission with an arm-triangle choke at 2:18 of round two in the main event. Chuck Liddell knocked out Guy Mezger, Wanderlei Silva stopped Shungo Oyama, and Vitor Belfort defeated Heath Herring by unanimous decision.
PRIDE 14 results across nine fights
Fujita’s main-event win was recorded as a technical submission. Elsewhere, Igor Vovchanchyn submitted Gilbert Yvel with a rear-naked choke at 1:52 of round one. Antonio Schembri also won by submission, finishing Johil de Oliveira with an armbar at 7:17.
Silva’s stoppage of Oyama came after just 30 seconds, the quickest finish on the card. Liddell’s knockout of Mezger occurred 21 seconds into round two, giving another of the event’s prominent striking matchups an early ending within that round.
Decisions and later-round action
Dan Henderson stopped Akira Shoji with punches and knees at 3:18 of the third round. Gary Goodridge defeated Valentijn Overeem in the first round, with the result recorded as a technical knockout following a knee.
Only two fights reached a decision. Belfort’s win over Herring was unanimous, as was Daijiro Matsui’s victory against José “Pelé” Landi-Jons. Both contests lasted three rounds.
The nine results therefore included seven finishes and two decisions. The supporting card supplied chokes, an armbar and several striking stoppages, making the overall event substantially more varied than a review of Fujita against Takayama alone would suggest.
