link about affliction card posted 5/9. this card looks good, but IMO, won’t happen, and if it does will bankrupt the company

I’m really hoping you’re not a product of American schools.

I actually hate the cage. Seems more barbaric than a ring. I suspect it would be harder to press someone into a ring than it is the side of a cage - i remember yelling at my tv during the silva/vera fight…

Shoving against the ring while doing footstomps isnt my idea of action.

Adding a Rope-a-dope element into the mix might not be a bad idea.

Barbaric? don’t you mean more challenging than the three roped ring? if the cage is lined with barbed wires or fences are electrified then yeah that’s barbaric.

i dunno - im retarded, i just hate footstomps (serra vs anyone) and being pushed up against the cage (vera/silva)

but that probably has to do more than the fighters

barbaric was probably the wrong word too - i just meant that animals are caged, and that the cage was more of an artifact from the old UFC days where it was more of a spectacle than a sport.

I hate the rings. That was the only thing that I ever disliked about PRIDE. I can’t stand when they have to move the fighters to the center of the ring, and reset their position, because it was too close to the ropes. It also screwed up more than a few takedowns. Not to mention how budget it looked in PRIDE when you would see all the little hands come up from the side of the ring to keep the fighters from rolling out.

Barbed wire and electrified fences!!! Holy fcuk! I think you’re on to a winner here. Get it done Affliction…Fedor will then lose by cut against Tim.

I’ve always thought a cage was better for MMA than a ring. There’s a lot less stoppage.

totally bro! ring fights suck!! thats why i cant stand watching bodog fights. everytime a guy’s trying to pass guard, and they get too close to the ropes, they stop the fight. it gets to u after the first 50 times!

Ya you got a point there…stopping/resetting in Pride was pretty common.

yup agree. plus they can pressed against the cage easier. Serra would’ve fell out the ring against GSP. lol
