For those that have been living under a rock and are not aware of the ANIMAL that is Fedor Emeileinenko! Here is the best FEDOR highlight ever made….Enjoy (take notice the agility that he shows in this highlight, its truley amazing especially when u take into consideration that he is a heavyweight….Few of the top heavyweights in the world can do some of the things that he shows in this highlight! Enjoy its one of my favorites:

Its sill a crappy effort of a trailor, why not show some Fedor highlights.

Great card + crap marketing = low PPV & high losses.

I like how they quote Joe Rogan, that must make dana a bit mad lol.

Comment by JRK
2008-07-10 09:05:25

Yeah, I agree. But then again that quote was probably from two years ago… You gotta love Rogan though, he tells it like it is.

If Donald Trump thinks its a good card then I guess I’ll have to watch it. LOL

I am really getting hyped up awaiting this event. This will be on of the most important match ups in the short history of modern day mma!

I cant wait to see the Fury that Fedor will unleash on Big Tim and I cant wait to win back the money I lost on UFC 86. I will probably be betting on:
Fedor
Barnett
Nogeira (BIG)
Babalu (BIG)
Negao (very small amount)
a small amount on Rothwell if he is a heaVY UNDERDOG, if he isnt, I will just leave it alone.
UNDERS in the Aleks/Buentello fight (if they offer odds on the unders)

AS for tyhe UFC, I will probably bet on:
Irvin (very small) not that I think he will beat Silva, but at those odds, u have to take a chance on the dog with the KO ability)
Vera
Rumble
CB Dollaway

I havent really begun to think about exactl;y what I will be betting on yet, so these bets are subject to change. I will post my bets when I make up my mind!

so if you want to make money bet against john… it made me a ton last UFC event

 
Comment by john
2008-07-10 10:55:17

Yup, bet against Me…I dare u! Sucker!

Even after I got crushed last event, I am now picking 87% percent correct on the year! Not bad, I only lost money that I won at UFC 85 and half of my earnings from UFC 84….I still cleaned up on UFC 80, 81 (where I picked everysingle fight on the card right except for 1), 82 and 83 not to mention all the UFN’s and TUF Finale!

Bet against me hater, see how well u do! Hi Hater! LOL

nOT TO MENTION LAST YEAR, WHEN i WENT COMPLETELY UNDEFEATED, winning money on every single UFC event of 2007..

If u have been betting against me, then you must be bankrupt by now. I bad event doesnt erase the 90% correct picks that I have been picking for the year…so I had a bad event, I am only down to 87% percent effective rate…Not to shabby if u ask me.

If it makes u feel better hate all u want, I know what I have accomplished betting on mma.

I dare u to keep betting against me. Thats it! Too much hate, NO MORE Predictions for anyone! U want my picks, E-mail me from now on and I will consider giving them to you, I am done offering my 87% correct rate to u ingrates for free! lol I wish u haters the best! lol

Comment by john
2008-07-10 12:06:11

90% on the fights that I bet money on! Not all the fights that were booked…there is a very big difference and yes, 90%, well now 87% of my bets this year have won!

Kory: u got me! If u think I give 2 F88ks about what u say, u are sadly mistaken….lets leave it at that, I really dont want to be responding to your confrontational posts all day!

God damnit john….nobody cares how much you’re winning or who you’re betting on. and thats clearly a lie anyway so just go away

In my experience, most people that publicly brag about their gambling winnings tend to grossly over exaggerate or just be straight up degenerates.

I dont bet on anything other than mma. Check the Archives, I always post my bets

john, in keeping with the spirit of MMA why don’t we just step into a cage and settle this. I’d love to beat a little Bi**h like you for a couple rounds

 
Comment by ViolentMike
2008-07-10 13:26:32

John, I have officially been gambling on MMA since January. We usually have very similar picks for all the fights, and I’ll fess up and admit that I’m not winning anywhere close to 85% of the time (winning 7 out of 8 of my bets). With a win rate that high, you can SERIOUSLY get a job in Vegas. The UFC has been very unpredictable as of late. Actually, I have been more successful as of late betting on other orgs

The three fights that I lost the most money on:

Frankie Edgar/Gray Maynard
Marcus Davis/Mike Swick
Rampage/Forrest

I always post who I am betting on for events.

Besides the UFC 86 debacle (wich destroyed me)

I lost on Davis at UFC 85 (I lost Big, but I won 4 other bets that night so it canceled out)..Yes I had Alves as a Dog

I Only lost on Gouveai at UFC 84, but I had big money on BJ, Machida, and Wanderlei…I also won on Soko…I cant remember what other fights were on that card

UFN’s to me have been trickier than pay per views. I had Alves over Karo, but lost on Lauzon and a parlay involving Maynard

UFC 82: Only fight I had that I bet wrong that night was Kongo/hearing (which I still think Kongo should have won)

UFC 81: I bet everysingle fight and won them all, I even had Boetsh that night.

UFC 80: I lost on Grove

I bet many more fights I just cant remember them. I have a book at home that I write down all my bets on, I will bring it with me to school tomorrow and I can name everysingle fight I wagerd on this year and how much I bet/won/or lost….If it will make u guys feel better I will be happy to post it tomorrow!

I cant sit here and pick 87% of all the fights that are booked, but out of the ones I have bet on, I am usually right, and when I am wrong its because I took chances on great odds on underdogs, that I didnt think would win anyway…just like I will bet on Irvin, but I dont expect him to bet silva.

All the fights I bet Big on, WIN. The only fights that I bet really big on (big according to my standards, which isn’ Sh*t compared to how much others bet) and lost on this year have been Rampage and I had Marcus Davis over Swick for a lot of money!

WTF is that d*ck Atencio talking about. Every one of the fights could be a main event. What? A main event where?
I’m glad Sylvia is gone from the UFC and Arlovski hasn’t put on a good show in a long time. Who in the f*ck cares about Babalu and Mike Whitehead, amongst others?

Comment by O damn he got caught
2008-07-10 10:07:50

Well I like Tim and Arlovski but yea, screw Babalu, I lost all respect for him when he got knocked out by Lambert.

Babalu is an amazing fighter, dont know what the hell u guys are talking about….The only people he has lost to in years are Chuck (twice) and lambert……doesnt seem like a bad resume to me at all!

have you lost respect for every fighter that has gotten knocked out

Babalu is the man and a veteran of the sport.

what a D*ck, the guy only managed to put out the best event of the summer with his 1st show ever managing to land Fedor vs. a former UFC champion in America, something even the great Dana White could not do….Can u believe that A**whole? Show the man some Love…damn!

rizzo vs. barnett was a main event in the UFC. arlovski vs. buentello was a main event in UFC. arlovski vs. sylvia was a main event in UFC (3 times). babalu was in a main event vs. chuck in UFC. vitor belfort was a headliner in UFC. rizzo was a main event vs. couture in UFC. barnett was a main event against couture in UFC. there’s more main event worthy fighters and fights on this card than any card the UFC has EVER put together!!!

who doesnt upset that fing bald headed man. whats the list at now, like 100??? he now hates the best ref he ever had in BIG john, he hates the affliction promoter because he happened to b selling tshirts and now hes promoting the best heavyweight card ever. He hates mark cuban becuase hes trying to compete…and not to mention all the fighters this side of the mississippi.

is joe rogan dana’s slave or something? can joe only say what dana wants him to say? i think Abe Lincoln abolished slavery a long time ago, dana needs to realize that. he’s trying to treat randy couture like his slave,(u can’t do this, u can do that, don’t say this, don’t fight there, u gotta fight here.)!!! what’s up with that?

Was that Michael Buffer’s voice at the end? That’s interesting, two brothers announcing for competing organizations. Who cares about the Shamrock’s fighting each other. Let’s see the Buffers beat the crap out of each other! Let’s get ready to rumble!

I just went over to affliction earlier and though it was a shorter trailer! so thats why its trailer 2. also i laughed as all them quotes are there to piss dana white off its so obvious. randy , big john and rogans quotes lmao!!!!

That commercial sucks. Lucky the card is so good as that wouldn’t get me to watch.

Comment by the_mexicutioner
2008-07-10 09:28:43

I agree. I hope the card lives up to the hype though. Hopefully they wont get too far in the hole either and be able to have more events with quality fighters and matches.

Probably Fedor’s manager

Man, these people need to get a good director goin, and also grab a guy with a fuckin normal voice to do the voice over, i’m kind of dissapointed by their marketing but the fights are gonna be incredible, this will be card of the year for sure

Comment by the_mexicutioner

Im still debating on this card on whether or not its worth $40 or should I just hope the fights are online later and watch the free fights on Spike… well I guess in the end it will all come down to one thing… cash flow! lol

I got a feeling that there gonna show them on HD NET or Fight Network shortly after, they need media attention bad if they want to do better on a second event.
