this card looks like the first one but only mixed up.

You don’t say?? Could that possibly be due to the fact that there are roughly 2-3 fighters in each weight class in this young promotion???

Affliction just needs a little time they already did what Dana couldn’t “FEDOR” oh yeah. The UFC better get their S_ _T together because great fights with great fighters are being created, not only here but Japan. They killed Pride but the energy lives on.

Fedor is the “ONLY” fighter worth a crap here. This is a joke. The rest of these guys are washed up or just drunks that can’t maintane a workout regiment. Pay attention people. This company will fold within a year. We can only hope that Fedor will finally come to the UFC. I’m sick and tired of seeing him fight chumps. He’s waisting his prime years fighting has beens and freaks. You should all be outraged that we dont get to see the greatest fighter ever fight the best competition. FEDOR, WAKE UP! YOU AREN’T GETTING ANY YOUNGER.

There has to be another organization to compete with the UFC, there are to many new fighters coming up through the ranks and they all can’t fight in the UFC. If the UFC controlled all the fighters, they would only fight once or twice a year, we need another strong one to rise up and keep the UFC honest.

Comment by Burt Wright
2008-09-09 20:58:07

I agree. However, I think the other leagues should build from the ground up. I don’t think the best fighters should be sacrificed just for the sake of democracy.

youre jokin right? arlovski and barnett are still great fighters. who does ufc have in there hw division? mir? thats an easy victory. gonzaga? terrible. lesnar? thats as big a joke as fedor fighting techno goliath or whatever hes called. big nog is the only fight worth watching, and hes not the man he used to be back in pride, still good, but not fedor good. and randy???? washed up, plain and simple. ufc has a terribly weak hw division. but they are good at promoting horrible fighters as being good (lesnar)

Fedor will NEVER fight in the UFC because he is owned by the russian mob.

Arlovski by 2nd rd TKO.

Tito is a douchebag.

And Affliction will be out of business in 2 years.

Fedor will be in the UFC by the middle of next year.

Anyone knows what is up with Mirko Crocop these days?

Comment by dave
2008-11-03 21:08:56

Cro Cop is fighting in Japan for DREAM (the old owners of PrideFC). He says he will come back to the UFC after he has won a few fights and gotten out of his slump.

fedor has his hands full with arlovski. Arlovski is one of the best fighters in the world when hes in shape.

Comment by Rumpelstiltskin
2008-11-19 01:01:41

Darren I bet you thought that Crazy Horse Bennett and Kimbo Slice were the next champions of the MMA world. Tune in and watch the Pit Bull cur out to The Last Emperor. Fedor will end the fight whenever he chooses to. Sorry but Arlovski has nothing for Fedor.

They should have Lindand fighting Belfort, and bring in Tito for Babalu.

Are you crazy?? Fedor will have his hands full with arlovski??? Arlovski will be destroyed in less than a minute by fedor. Who are you trying to kid here. Wake up dude. did you see what fedor did to tim sylvia? Not that I think tim sylvia is any good either, but it only took about 30 seconds to anialate him.

Did anyone read Fedor’s interview with ultimate grappling mag. How he said he would never sighn with the UFC after the garbage they threw @ him , they expected him to remaine undeffeted or they had the right to terminate his contract , no competing in his national sport of sombo , no indorsments , and he needed to win his first fight or that would be an automatic breach of contract and if he won it’s an automatic eight fight deal . UFC needs to do what is right for the sport and bring the best of the best fighter to the octagone not just bring them and exploit them !

Thats the whole essence why Fedor will never sign with the UFC. They treat their fighters like shit and everyone but the fighter benefits in UFC. Besides why the hell would Fedor ever care to be under a no class piece of sheeeeit like Dana White ?? Did you hear or read all the desperate childish unprofessional shit Dana threw at Fedor ?? Its obvious his friends fronted him the money for the UFC because the man has no class at all and is less professional then a class of First graders. The fight Id like to see is Fedor and Dana the prick needs to learn respect.

Comment by mercydoc
2008-11-25 02:06:29

You got that right. The UFC treats their fighters like shit. They make millions in PPV sales, and only a drop or two ever reaches the fighters who are working their asses off and putting their health at risk. Maybe one of these days the fighters will start getting the same types of earnings of professional boxers. The best thing that could happen for the UFC is to get rid of Dana White, or at least give him responsibilities other than contract negotiations. What kind of crap is that to not allow fighters to sign endorsements???That’s total bull. Endorsements are where the money is, and that’s why White wants to control it. They treat fighters like they are their property and make it so that the fighters are totally dependent on the organization. I hope Affliction and Dream succeed, if only to improve the salaries of the fighters.

Mercydog you obviously dont understand what a contract is, i wish everyone would stop looking at fighters like little kids. These are grown ass men signing their own contracts not agents not parents. They want to fight the best in the world and the best fighters give or take a few are in the ufc. Its very simple you wanna fight, sign the contract if you dont then good luck with another promotion. You’re telling me that these guys can make millions being teachers, construction workers and martial art instuctors, i think not which most of them were doing before the ufc so stop trying to beat down Dana White and the UFC for giving fighters an opportunity to do what they love. They fight two maybe three times a year and make millions geez who the hell is gonna pass that up. Stop trying to defend bullshit promotions and look at whats real in the mma game.

Are you serious? How many fighters make millions? Listen I agree if someone doesn’t like what there getting paid fine go fight elsewhere,but don’t make it out as if the UFC is littered with fighters making millions of dollars for fighting a couple times a year.That’s the big time guys only.

 
Comment by freakyfreak106
2008-11-28 21:45:37

I wasnt trying to say all fighters, let me clear the air if you’re the best in the world then you better damn well get paid like it. All I’m trying to say is they pay according to how good you are, you wanna get paid then fight the best and win its that simple. Why pay fighters who dont win championships. You dont see every pro athlete making millions every year only the best same in mma which I think is how it should be.

I agree , I was told the UFC used thier influence to get AFFLICTION out of Vegas and that is why AFFLICTION is going to move that fight back to Orange County CA , Were they held thier last fight . (reliable sorce owner of OTM Fight SHOP). I went to the first AFFLICTION BANNED it was well worth it !

DONT BE BLINDED TO ONLY WATCH THE UFC ! ! ! !

Thank god Dan Lauzon finally gets some legit competition. Love his WCF fights (even though they r against scrubs) and can’t wait for him to get out of Mass. and into some more televised events.

Fedor by submission….Which would b the fist ever sub loss for the pittbull.

 
Comment by Rumpelstiltskin
2008-11-19 00:17:08

Fedor is best known as “The Last Emperor” You will never see him fight any Top UFC people. The “Pit Bull” Arlovski has a very poor chance of beating any on the Emelianenko’s. Fedor will make short work of the “Pit-Bull” I’m not downing Andre but he has no where the skill set Fedor has. Randy Couture just Curred out plain and simple. Him running back to the UFC and away from Fedor made me lose my respect for Randy Couture. Fedor vs Bob Sapp would be almost retarded and about as entertaining as a Kimbo Slice fight. Forget about Fedor ever fighting Lesnar, Dana White will make sure it never happens. Brock is a huge Bad ass but he doesn’t have the skill that Fedor has. Brock in a few years may have a shot at it if he improves his ground game. Nogueira will take out Mir then he will take the belt from Lesnar using the same type of plan when he fought Bob Sapp and tapped him out. Now this is a Very SWEET card! I’ll be watching for sure! I watch most MMA events the UFC isn’t the god of MMA! GROW Affliction GROW!

Alright all you UFC haters who probably buy every pay per view and watch the ultimate fighter, does anyone know why most of all the new promotions usually go out of business in two or three years? Know wants to see BS fighters, yes i said it, who cares about Kimbo who tapped in his fight against thompson, and who dodged Brett Rodgers cause he sucks and will never face a real fighter. Nobody goes to these shows, nobody would buy a pay per view fight with garbage fighters, and most people dont even know who most of these fighters that other promotions are trying use as their big stars. The ufc is here to put the best mma fighters on showcase for the whole world to see, if there was no ufc there would be no affliction no strikeforce or dream. So instead of bashing the ufc you should be thanking it for bringin mma to what it is today. If your a true mma fan than you would agree with me if your not then your just a hater and if you dont have anything to hate on feel free to hate on me.
