can’t get here fast enough!!! WAR FEDOR!!!!!!
I just heard Trump on Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN radio, and I got a little worried over something small. I have always heard Fedor’s name pronounced “Fay-door” while Trump says “Fee-door”. Anyone know for sure which is correct, as I’ve never studied Russian.
Fyodor, that’s the Russian name for Theodore
Thanks for the info!
Doesn’t matter how his name’s pronounced. As long as he’s still the cold-clooded killing machine that I know, then that’s fine with me…

i guess with the ? you dont know witch ones. iwas just getting ready to ask that. good info though john. good looking out. do you know by any chance if the fedor/sylvia fight is gonna be a 5rndr or 3. up till today i thought it was gonna be 5, but kevin is saying that the betting odds has it as a 3 rnder.
Is this going to be a 5 hr event? It says on my Direct TV channel menu its going from 9pm-2am. Is this right? My bad if someone said something about this already. I must have missed it.
WTF it is saturday and I don’t see Affliction on FSN anywhere today!
Thank you, John. Appreciate the info. Enjoy the show and have a great weekend.
Peace.
BK
NEWS FLASH:
Ben Rothwell is so OVERRATED!!!!
Don’t get me wrong, Arlovski is one of my favorites, I wanna see him vs. Fedor!
I actually nodded of during Lindland fight.
Fedor/Sylvia better live up to the hype, so far I am a little disappointed!
>Update
Affliction has officially brought MMA one step closer to boxing. Site is over loaded, I’ll be back later!
> Now their stood up.
I appreciate the commentary, but the narrator obviously has a little trouble with the language. What does “Now their stood up” mean?
why is fedor/sylvia (a title fight) only 3 rounds?
mania, you have the answer to this question???
That’s because I think Affliction has a different set of rules. And I believe it ain’t a title fight, right?
where did you see that
MANIA: can you get on that, as to why it’s only 3 rounds?
It has to be 5 rounds. Sylvia said himself that it’s 5 rounds.
the betting odds have it as a 3 rd. fight
i though it was a 5rnder as well.
People have been placing their money on Timmy.
Fedor opened at -400 to -450. Now he is at -350.
its a 5 round fight!
FACT!
Any organization putting together a card with Nogueira not being televised is doing something right.
this is the closest thing I have seen to a PRIDE card, meaning STACKED, like a shockwave event!
you mean people are giving their money away to the bookies Mike? lol
3 rds…no title…Forrest Griffen IS the LHW Champ!
fedor beat that fucker tim
WOW what a card eh!!!
im jacked to see this!
This card is awesome.
I just hope Fedors stamina is still ok
I think he will gas before Tim will, and I hope Big Tim KNOCK HIS ASS OUT!
I very much doubt that
The most overrated card in history.
well see after saturday
I agree with “Haze”. The card is definitely overrated – I’ll watch it, but I wouldn’t pay for it.
Most of the fighters are past their best-before dates. Don’t get me wrong, there are some legendary fighters on this card, but for guys like Barnett, Arlovski, Babalu, Buentillo, Rizzo, Belfort, Lindland, and even Sylvia – the future is not theirs anymore. And, as has been said, the hype surrounding Fedor is unfulfilled at this point.
The UFC will provide a better set of matches, and a better overall product – guaranteed.
who is out of there prime? 30 yr old barnett 31 yr old fedor? maybe lindland and rizzo but not the whole card, yes watch it and than will see if its overrated or not as good as the ufc.
I may have to agree with you on this one. I think pretty much every single fighter on this card is badly over-rated by hardcore (website visiting) MMA fans, apart from maybe Tim Sylvia. Arlovski’s “explosiveness” is over-rated. Fedor is unproven recently, and therefore, currently over-rated. Babalu is more hype than anything. Since Shogun, who has this guy beaten? Nobody’s. Lindland is boring. Aleks will be shown up when he faces a top ground game opponent. Belfort is way past it.
and how do you rank barnett, so your better at ranking these fighters than everyone including other fighters that have them up there in the rankings
maybe because we follow MMA and know what we are talking about? so UFC 86 wasnt over hyped? Cote vs Almeida… please…
I agree that it has been overrated but any MMA fan would like Barnett or Fedor in the UFC so for that fact alone its well watchable. Babalu is a gatekeeper at 205 but a good one at that if he remembers the rules. Lindland Is a amazing fighter but his style is not one to get the fans. I love wrestling/jui jitsu so understand his fighting style but it can be more of a bore for new MMA fans. And even though Avlovski has a bad chin,his style is great and someone everyone wants to watch,
Have to agree. This card is solid but this is in no way the best card ever as some people have said. Very Very overhyped. First drawback…ITS IN A FREAKING RING. I’ll probably download it the next day and watch the UFC live
A cage is a spectacle to grab people’s attention.
Japan never uses a cage and thier mma is just fine and dandy.
Nick Diaz spoke about it in a pretty recent interview
I disagree. When the UFC started the cage may have been a spectacle, but over the years IMO it has been proven to be more functional then a ring. There are way too many stops in the action and repositioning when you have mma in a ring.
I disagree with you. Cages make it easy for the action to stall on the sides. You always end up with two wrestlers crumpled in a ball leaning against the fence tapping each other on the side of the forehead. Pride repositions them, but the action stays up. Rings seem to be a little more fast paced. Octogans also create more room to move and run around, which means a lot more throws and misses. Less connecting than in the ring. To my eyes atleast.
It is impossible to know if a card is overrated or underrated until after the fights. This card has HUGE names, so the potential for an amazing night of fights is there.
Overrated?! Are you for real?!?
the betting lines have pyle’s opponent listed as brett cooper.
i thought i read somewhere that the Prelim Card is airing on the Versus network. Is that true?
fox sports
Boring was UFC 86.
I will admit big names dont equel big match ups unless their fighting each other. but these guys are not over rated. tim fedor is a huge fight though.
Right? I don’t know how people can call a card over/under rated until the event actually happens. It could contain 5 of the top 10 fights of the year, or they can all be a waste of time and money. We just have to wait until Saturday.
I know one thing, I’ll be coughing up $40 to find out!!!!
so true.
the people that say this card is overrated are probably the same ones who started following MMA sometime around UFC 70 and the only fighters theyve seen are the ones in the UFC till now, ignorance is bliss i suppose but you guys need to do some research and really see how taleneted all of these guys are.
Actualy I say it cause I’ve been watching since ufc 2, and the guy’s on the card are done (Overated).
No they’re not…
Ok I stand corected, The Pit Bull has still got it. the rest I am still not convinced. Even Fedor didn’t impress me sloppy punches and the worst rear naked choke I’ve everseen, doesn’t convince me he’s number one. I still feel something was up everybody had weird look on their faces before during and after the Fedor/Silvia fight.
Ro-J, come on. If it’s true that you have been watching mma for that long, then you haven’t paid attention. Fedor would do the same and has done the same to any and everyone. His strikes are unconventional,but extremely effective.
Wow, quite a few names on that card. Looks like I’ll be PPV’ing that assuming it’s available and DVR’ing the UFC fight night.
the thread says up to the minute UFC 86 Jackson-Griffin results.
Can someone keep putting time updates in hours on here please. so i’ll know when its starting as im from the uk and don’t want to miss it! so someone tell me when there is 2 hours and 1 hour to go. I actually think it will be funny if Arlovski ans tim lose then they might fight over the pee pee?
Hey guys, I just found out the event will be streamed free and live through mmaload.com. if anyone is interested check it out at 9pm US time.
Linx, good find on that one man!
no problem brow, I’m actually watching it through tvu player, mma channel
stinkys bets-
mike pyle/jj ambrose = 5,000 on mike pyle
nog/dewees = nog with a 25,000 bet.
belfort/martin = belfort with 20,000 on the line.
babalu/whitehead = whitehead on a 40,000 bet
lindland/nas = the law for 10,000
aa/rothwell = 30,000 on aa
barnett/rizzo = 25,000 on barnett
sylvia/fedor = 60,000 on fedor
Yeah, sure. Whatever you say.
your full of crap
anybody that had that kinda of money to bet on fights would be flying out and watching the fights live and not be here with the rest of us idiots typing on a computer
I think he was betting food stamps, not dollars.
If you want a good laugh check Stinky Fingers bets for the last card… he didn’t hit a single bet! At least he’s betting monopoly money, or this guy would have been broke after the last card.
ohhh thats nothing….last night i bet my entire swiss bank account, my 250 homes strategically placed in nearly every country’s capital in the world and my 500 cars on fedor to win. Then, since I won the bet they actually decided to put me in charge of the world. Then I woke up, and i recommend you do the same stinky
stinky bum you should of just had one big bet on franka to beat edgar.
martin vs belfort…rd #1
BORING!!!
RD #2 MADE UP FOR IT
…Belfort via exposive KO!
yeah, but vitor has become so conservative with his striking, he’s changed a lot (guess we should thank couture, the game master)… I wish we’d still be able to see the vitor of old.
Terry Martin sure is an exciting KO to watch…
Never goes out dull, always wakes up with a crowd around him.
Still so far Affliction looks lame. So far boring. I guess the Vitor KO was good.
the night is young JV, and the PPV portion hasn’t started yet. This is the undercards.
I ended up get the Affliction PPV in fear that I might miss something good. So I hope your right linx!!!
Fighting is not the same outside of the cage… On another note – Big John is a good talent. The UFC would do well to get him back even as an commentator.
all I know is this should be 10x better than the UFN card, only fight I want to see on that card is the silva fight, on the affliction card however I want to see all fights!
linx, did you get it?
it’s not showing here, I’m watching it online though, I’m not missing this!
Its ok so far linx. But if I see Dan Mirgliota in the Fedor/Tim fight Im gona break some sh!t.
Hi, LINX. Where is it showing online? Thanks.
Peace.
BK
if you don’t have tvu player, you can watch it on tvunetworks.com (you can also watch ufn there), or mmaload.com.
on the tvu networks, it’s on the channel called mma-tv…
Thanks, LINX. I appreciate the info.
Peace.
BK
KO! BOOM!
Go Pyle!
Looks alright so far, announcers good, not like thoughs idiots on elitexc. Trigg knows his sh!T. Big John did well. Well it’s time to watch UFC. Can’t afford the ppv, already had one this month.(damn it)
LMAO, is the mic problem happening for everyone? now it’s in spanish LOL, bunch of rookies!
Glazer sucks ass!
Wow RVCA sponsors “The Prodigy” and now “The Phenom”..
I was just looking up the records for some of the guys fighting tonight on the Affliction card on UFC.com and Vitor Belfort is not listed on UFC.com anymore. That’s like the Packers erasing all stats and info about Brett Favre if he ends up on another team. Dana White is a bitch!
okay sooo i have time warner.. does anyone know what channel its gonna be showing on???
Slow.
The production’s better than elite xc but not great. First time though. Mcarthy looks lost.
yeah, the camera work is not the best, it could be better. and the referees need to know how to work with rings, they’re supposed to hold the ropes when fighters are laying against them, so they don’t fall… (which happened more than it should have).
It feels like i’m so far from the action. The UFC gets you right in there. Geez, these fights would feel alot quicker if we were down on thier level more. Sorry for whining.
ok, back to UFN, no need to see old school rock… I must say, affliction is playing their cards well, the spider will fight before fedor by this rate…
i’m talking alone tonight
over to silva, be back just in time for fedor. what a great night of fights!
UFC will swallow up Afflication and any other newcomers…Go Spider
Tim is going to get submitted either late in the 1st round or midway in the 2nd.
AS for my man the Spider, he could easily take the light heavy belt as well…too skilled.
will ppl respect fedor finally??? gotta go to sleep, great night of fights ppl, but that spider fight was the best hands down.
Spider was as good as fedor people if you didnt see him!
fedor beats tim!!! wow!!! how shocking…….NOT!!!
Fedor beating Tim is no big thing. Fedor beating a top 5 HW that trained his ass off for the fight of his career in 30 seconds with such ease is a big thing. Fedor blew Tim away on the feet in seconds. There’s no one even as close to as dominant as Fedor in MMA. Not Anderson, not BJ, not GSP.
He can beat any fighter any way he wants. He worked Nog on the ground, he worked CroCop, Timmy, Schilt, and Goodridge standing. It just isn’t even close. Anderson took a beating from Hendo in their first round. Fedor doesn’t lose rounds or fight evasively; he just comes out and ends it however he wants. Fedor has been making TOP heavyweights look bad since day 1. Anderson has yet to build a list of defeated stars the way Fedor has. Besides, Fedor gives up lbs and reach in most of his fights.
Balhawkdawk: r u from philly? Finally its great to hear that someon understands! Fedor is still yet to loose a round since he joined pride in 2003. like u said, he doesnt loose round, let alone a fight. I loose all respect for anyone that tries to tell me that he isnt 1 of the (if not) the best and most dominant fighters that mMA has ever SEEN!!
Silva may be the Mike Jordan of mma, but Fedor is the Wilt Chamberlain of mma! He does whatever he wants to whoever he wants! HOw many other 6′1, 220 lbs men could Destroy Tim Standing? I dont know any others fighters that could do that. THe great Couture couldnt finish Tim in 25 minutes but Fedor did it in 36 seconds…keep in mind Tim had a really bad back when he fought Randy! THe legend Nogueira (1 of my favorite fighters of all time), took a really bad beating from Tim for 3 rounds before puling off a submission. Fedor last night, basicaly KO Tim standing, then TKO him on the ground via ground n pound, and then deciided to submit Tim to end the fight…He showed dominant stand up, Ground n pound, and submission skillsin 36 seconds against without a doubt one of the top 5 heavyweghts in the WORLD. tim sylvia who has only been finished by Nogueira and Arovski! R u kidding me? THat may have been the most impressive win of the whole year in MMA!
Fedor the GOD!!!
That sure was an empty-ass arena. Why do I get the feeling this company is going to tank.
Tim Sylvia is a buster. He just got spanked like a prison inmate. Please don’t tell me that Hong Man Choi lasted longer than his sorry butt.
Tim got paid to take a dive. He just tapped right away with a choke that really wasnt even sunk in. AA is back! Thats about the only good thing of the whole Affliction card.
what don’t you admit that Sylvia lost… knock this “he was paid” crap out… be a man
Yeah, JV, u sound really Silly saying dumb stuff like that! Come on man, u r better than that! Stop the hate and admit that Fedor is the greatest HW that mma has ever seen, because its really OBVIOUS!!!! Its not even a discussion! Washed up? I dont think so. More like, more dominant than EVER!!!!
He Ko’ed Tim standing, than Ground n pounded him to a TKO, and then topped it off with a submission! All in 36 seconds! r u kidding me?
jV: I know u most have been proud of your fellow Chicano last night. Cain Vallasquez is a stud on the rise! Very happy to see that he has a chance of becoming a special HW in the future. Its great to see because the UFC really needs some tough HW fighters. This guy is the real deal, and I cant wait to see his next fight.
I had the smae impression and so did my wife, it look weird for sure. but I was surprised by arlovski he looked great.
Sylvia was just scared, I don’t blame him. Fedor is a BADDDDD MANNNNN. but Silva is even badder and Arlovski back to his old self was easily the best thing the entire night out of Affliction.
By the way, who else thinks the rings have got to go in MMA? Get them outta here! Seriously!
I love the ring, and I thought affliction was great. they just need to get rid of the small rock concerts, get better camera ppl, and know how to work the ring (the referees). but I’ll give them a break, their new.
WTF! WHATS LEFT FOR FEDOR? FIGHTING IN HANDICAP MATCHES?
I dunno about the entertainment ‘package’ Affliction gives. The ring, the camera angles, the pre fight, post fight, between round comentators. It reminds me of dated Pride FC presentation. I dunno, I guess I’m used to the UFC package.
Fedor…WOW!
Man those announcers would bob on Fedor’s knob at any given moment. They sounded like high school girls with a crush on Fedor. Terrible. Absolutely terrible. I agree with JV, I think Tim was paid to dive. And Anderson Silva just flat out scares me now.
so basically anyone who is good and looses outside of the UFC is basically paid to take a dive? you guys just don’t stop surprising me with all of those conspiracy theories.
yeah the conspiricy theories are a joke! Give the last Russian Emperor his respect!
Tim has let his arm broken and then gets rocked by a sloppy combo and taps to the weekest attempt I’ve seen of the rearnaked choke.
It’s disappointing the fight we all wanted to see was Fedor v Couture. It may still happen but Randy needed this fight a few years back as did us fight fans. Fedor is a star and I wouldn’t be surprised if the UFC made another effort to get him, that said the heavy weight division is not that great in the UFC compared to the depth of the light heavies. Great night for MMA. Fedor has silenced some critics, but not all of them (Dana White) as Tim is the most boring, overrated Heavy Weight in MMA today.
I’m as big a Fedor fan as anyone else. But, is it beyond the relm that Tim threw this fight? I mean, he didnt even make Fedor sweat.
A Fedor win over Sylvia makes a Randy vs. Fedor fight exciting. But, this win by brutal fashion makes a Fedor vs. Randy fight WAYYYYYYY more exciting.
Think of all the post about Fedors performance vs Tim and Randy’s vs. Tim. All the buzz.
Its hard to think that any startup MMA org (including Affliction) wouldn’t fix a fight to promote bigger fights in the future.
are you people fuckin serious? Already with these conspiracy theories…this thread sucks
look at james irvin’s face, matter of fact, slow mo replay the footage. you don’t hear us yellin conspiracy about that fight do u?
yea. its in the relm. i’m not impressed either.
Thats what I was thinking TabascoSAUCE. Big Tim’s chin is one of the best in the HW division, yea he was alittle rocked but to tap right away on a choke that wasnt even sunk in is weird. It is Affliction’s way to survive more than three shows.
What is wrong with you people?
Did you see those shots and that is how Fedor always chokes people.
Jesus Christ.
I dunno JV.
MMA is a business. Its an upstart business to boot. The UFC is successful, and has a proven track record of popular fighters losing to virtually unknown guys. Remember when a non-mainstream guy named Anderson Silva beat a hugely popular Rich Franklin. Or how about GSP losing to Matt Serra. Or how about some guy named Gonzaga kicking the head off of Crocop. If there was a fight to be fixed in the UFC, Crocop vs. Gonzaga would have been it. A Crocop win would have made a Crocop vs. Couture fight huge. So I feel comfortable with the UFC fights.
But an upstart like Affliction. If Fedor lost, they’d be out a possible Fedor vs Randy match. The UFC proved that Tim Sylvia isn’t a promotable fighter.
I’m not saying Fedor sucks…or the fight was fixed. But, if fans are going to take every fight for face value…you obviously weren’t following boxing demise. I also have a bridge in NY to sell you.
Am I the only one disappointed with tonight’s fights? I literally fell asleep at one point watching Affliction (7 o clock here), I didn’t care for the grainy 70’s picture, the ring, mega death and decisions. I don’t mind decisions, but boring ones? Rothwell is not even close to top 10, vera looked like shit, babalu falling out of the ring and the dirty feeling I got at the end of the night. I absolutely take nothing away from Fedor, but the choke was weak, and right away they hyped the Randy fight. I personally would rather see Fedor/Arlovski! Spider looked good, but what did you expect?
Abraham is that you????????? we both fell asleep during those fights hahaha but yeah i wasnt really impressed with that card. Fedor did look really dominiant but then aagain tim sylvia sucks so yeah. It was great to see arlovoski and babulu fighting again but babulu looked like a mess he was out of shape and pretty slopy but did have som,e cool lookin kicks (ill give him some style points). Andrei looked real good against ben rothwell even though rothwell really isnt a top fighter. arlovski needs to be fighting some better people like maybe fedor like u said. that has the potential to create a good fight. but yeah the afflicition card seemed to be real boring. something about the production just made it boring.
fedor just made sylvia looks like a tool
36 secs to destroyed the 2 time former ufc champ… wonder what dana gotta say about this one
Easy – they didn’t resign him for a reason. I do think that the UFC’s heavyweight division right now is its weakest link – however they are grooming new stars.
Fuck Fedor,fuck Sylvia,fuck Anderson….THE PITBULL IS BACK.FEDOR, ANDREI’S COMING TO GET YA.WAR ARLOVSKI WAAAAAAARRRRRRRR
I watched both events at the same time. I had my pc streaming the Affliction. I really enjoyed 3 of the Affliction fights. Dana will be sorry he let AA go. The pit bull looked good. He put a beating on Ben. Even splattered blood on one of the cameras at end of rd 2 I beleive it was…..Anyone else notice? Vitor looked allright. And I take back anything I ever said about Fedor time being past. Damn did he embarrass Sylvia!!! I not so sure that its a good idea for Randy to mix it up with Fedor.
Overall I give the Afflivtion show a B. A little above average. Though I am glad I chose not to buy it.
And Anderson Silva…..What can you say. He is someone you don not want to try and strike with. One punch and Irvin was done. He really didnt even need to land the flurry afterwards. Also the Burns win was total HORSESHIT. And although I hate Rumble. I like his skills and I gained some respect for him the way ge handled being railroaded. How can you be warned for eyepokes then win by TKO by poking the fuck out of Johnson’s eye???? That was horrible. but the way he handled it may of gained him some fans. That was classy. I dont know of many others that would of reacted that calmly
Who in the hell would have to pay Tim Slyvia to dive? Thats like paying me to strike out against Nolan Ryan??
Fedor just crushed that what if TIm used to have in his mind.. its one thing to imagine fighting those Pride guys.. another to actually go up against em.. Big Nog.. COuture.. Fedor.. TIm can get back to driving those trucks now..
lay off the sauce, tabasco…fedor simply outclassed silvia plain and simple. he rocked him fast and took advantage.
Tabasco, he’s just another conspiracy theorist. Fedor still has spring in his step and is just an incredible fighter that knocked Tim THE FUCKOUT!
I’ve watched Fedor since the inception of Pride. I’m sorry you take everything for face value. It would be easy to accept every professional sport to be honest and be blind to athletes taking steroids, baseball players using corked bats, ref’s taking bribes, boxers taking dives. – I’m sure you’re the same guy that thought Kimbo Slice fairly beat James Thompson.
I’ve watched Fedor before sherdog had fighter profiles on their website. Until the upstart companies have their mainstream guys start losing big events, I’ll always speculate. The UFC lost millions on a Crocop vs. Couture fight. If there was a fight to be fixed, the UFC would have fixed that fight. The UFC has proven that the underdogs will win…the other orgs haven’t. Until they do, I still won’t take it for face value.
anyone got a link to the fedor fight?
http://www.mmascraps.com
thx
This is obvious fedor is bad. He is going to destoyr anybody. He should fight cain velasquez taht would be great go fedor go russia.
I guess we know now why the UFC released Sylvia. Fedor was also a fantastic fighter when he fought for Bodog. Affliction must be upset about having such a short main event. There’s no doubt that Fedor is a great talent, but beating Sylvia does not automatically make him the best P4P. Fedor is not marketable and if Affliction thinks that he is their meal ticket – they are sadly mistaken.
been saying that for months dolphin, he is known and popular to very hardcore fans only!!
get a life you cheap fuk
wow, what was that about bro, chill.
Why? Muscle Dolphin is totally correct apart from the part about Tim’s release. Everything else is bang on.
I think it was great.
to hell with fedor,sylvia,anderson silva. THE “PITBULL” IS BACK. FEDOR,,,,,ANDREI’S COMING YO GET YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I’ve been waiting so long for Andrei to come back. WAR ARLOVSKI WAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha for real! WAR PITBULL BABY! WAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!
fedor is unbeatable……..lightning fast punches and excellent ground game
anderson silva is beatable by others in the light heavyweight division in UFC
so that makes fedor the best p4p fighter in the world……in my opinion of course
Man
Fedor and The Spyder > All
I dont care what any of you keyboard warriors say, these two guys reign at the top of the best pound for pound fighter in the sport, if you know anything about MMA, it is no argument whatsoever.
Its so fucking annoying that ppl are now saying Sylvia sucks just because Fedor handed him his ass, well guess again you fucking monkeys, Fedors one bad ass motherfucker and the greatest, hands down, alongside Anderson.
Haha I’m LMAO imagining Danas reaction to Fedors complete dominance tonight.
When Fedor destroys Randy, he is going to be wiping chunks of his corpse off of the ring floor.
WAR Fedor!!!
WAR Spyder!!!!
I will admit that the production qualities of the Affliction event were not the greatest. It was not up to par with the quality of the UFC. The announcers were less annoying and repetitive than Goldberg, but I missed Rogan. I hope that Affliction will learn from this event and improve on their product the next time. This was the first time I had witnessed Fedor fight live, and I was impressed. I have never been a Silvia fan, and I was glad to see him lose. I too, was skeptical of the quick tap, but we have seen Sylvia give up quickly before (Noguiera). I was happy to see another MMA promotion enter the fray, after the demise of Pride. Although the event was lacking, in comparison to the UFC, everyone must admit it was an upgrade over the travesty that is the Elite XC. I am one of the newbs that caught onto MMA after the first Ultimate Fighter, but I am glad to see the competition that is offered by other organizations. We, as fans, win every time a quality fight is staged.
************************MMAMANIA*******************
It has been over a half hour and AGAIN my post never appeared. Why does this continually do this to me??? What did I ever do to get moderated or worse or whatever you are doing with my posts????????
War FEDOR
War SPYDOR
I am quite satisfied with this saturday eve.
ok… i like Fedor as much as anyone who follows MMA and has an understanding of MMA. I just have to know what the hell
Tim was thinking. He looked terrible. All 36 seconds.
IMO he looked way more out of shape than the Vera fight and all fights before. And he seemed to be dragging his feet, literally. Tim brought a losing plan with him to this fight.
On the other hand,on paper…
Fedor proved himself, no one can say anything about who is #1 now, albeit he needs to continue to fight other Top heavyweights.
Tim should fight Barnett next.
Overall it was a good show, I was greatly let down by the production value the show had.
yeah, they need to work more on their production, and a fedor vs barnett fight would be awesome!
well for those doubting Fedor-I think its safe to say he shut you up!
fight was clearly fake..
Ya cause they know 36 second fights are great for the ratings. Do you people actually think before you say something like this? Honestly do such a high percentage of human beings have such a low intelligence level?
LMAO
saying duplicate, but I see it no where!!!
Am I the only one disappointed with tonight’s fights?

Spider looked good, but what did you expect?
fedor sylvia fight …here you go bruddahs.
kama kaze, THANK YOU! I was actually a little depressed after the UFC snoozfest, wishing I would have gotten Affliction. It’ll be a late night, but I’ll watch til the wee hours now.
All these comments acting like this shit was rigged just proves how dominant Fedor is.
Sylvia looked terrible?? Sylvia didn’t last long enough in the ring to form an opinion on how he looked. Fedor absolutely demolished Sylvia.
well said, Tim was going through the “feeling out” phase and Fedor jumped on him..I was at the event and the place went crazy. Tim looked intimidated….welcome back “pitbull” he looked a lot better
Where are all Fedor’s haters now? I dare you to say Fedor is overrated
No, they’re all claiming that Tim threw the fight, which is totally idiotic. For one, if he was throwing the fight, he wouldn’t do it in the first 35 seconds. 2, Affliction would want a little more scrapping than Tim going in and getting his ringer clocked on the first bell. Three, it’s a very slim chance that a startups first main event would be rigged. They’d be crazy to do that. Nope, Fedor Connected and capitalized right away. I’d like to see a re-match though, I think Tim has a better fight in him somewhere.
Fedor is overrated.
Heath Herring showed up with his crew a few rows behind where I was sitting. He only stayed for a minute before he went wondering around the floor.
Silva looked sad out there. I was lucky enough to go and I enjoyed all the hot girls excessively walking around showing off their implants. I also thought the amosthphere was chill, seeing the owner walking around talking to fans and Tito signing autographs.Hope they do more shows out here in OC.
I’ll make sure I wont forget to wear a skin-tight Affliction t-shirt!
Fedor is the best p4p fighter, no questions asked. He can’t be stopped. He has literally fought every best Heavyweight in the world except Arlovski. That fight will hopefully happen very soon!!!!!!!!! What a kick to Dana White’s nutz. He has beaten current and former UFC heavyweight champions. That guy is a living breathing Terminator.
Anderson Silva is best p4p
It’s close, but nobody has ever put fedor in a scissor heel hook or a triangle..
A fight that would kick some serious ass is Fedor vs Lesnar.
Next Affliction event should be Couture vs Fedor, but is Couture free from his ufc contract ?
Once Fedor beats Couture we can officially nominate him for the first Nobel Prize for Martial Arts!
c-war – Silva could beat Fedor!!! Silvia is overrated and against short stocky guys like Randy and Fedor he looks like a bum! Silvia was scared mentally imo and after 1 punch he was happy to tap when it went to the floor.
Do not anyone talk shit about fedor not fighting the best out there he has proven himself over and over and over again.
I hope they tore Vera’s contract in half after that one, what a giant over-hyped, back peddling, fat hanging over elastic band, barely beating Reese Andy washed up greased up asian with less fighting ability then a dead cat under a car seat. With that said, Silva and Fedor are still the kings and Dana White can still suck my asshole for disrespecting Fedor. Irvin ate a big punch, Sylvia got choked out immediately and hopefully ended that moose shaped man’s career for good. What a fantastic Saturday everybody…
Sylvia wears the American Flag like it’s a F@ckin Robe? Glad to see him get crushed. Have some respect.
Megadeth? wtf? stick to the fights
Rings suck, interferes with the fight flow.
So you thought the flag was a sweat towel?
I Hope you shit yourself again whiner!
Yeah the production of affliction looked so bad, I feel like a college film school could have done just about as well. and if i wanted to see a megadeth concert then i would either go to a concert of theres, or watch one on tv. the musical interludes really messed with the general atmosphere, if you noticed they kept showing like the same 10 people getting excited about the music while the other however many thousand just sat there, bored out of their minds. even if it was a good band i wouldnt have liked itm but megadeth really suck IMO. anyway…good first event overall and if i had to grade it i would go with a B- bc the fights were generally good but the music sucked and the production did too. ohh and big john needs to stick to reffing if anything, he seemed to mumble and stutter over a lot of words along with glazer.
Where are all the Sylvia nuthuggers now?
There should be no question about it now. FEDOR IS THE BEST P4P FIGHTER IN THE WORLD!!!Watch out Couture you are next!
no question?
give me a break. Silva would OWN Fedor. I don’t even care if they fought at their current weights right now. Silva tears Fedor a new one yesterday!!
I dont get it! Anderson Silva moves UP in weight and wins. Fedor stays at the same weight and wins, yet Fedor is called #1 p4p. Get off his nutsack will you?
you are right, fedor should move to super heaviweight and fight hong man choi..
By the way, my full respect to Tim Sylvia. I felt really bad for him
don’t, he is the worst fighter ever.. his only remarkable wins occured when he was on juice in the early days he is still hyped over those days.
Fedor just showed why he deserves to be considered the best heavyweight in the world, as if his previous record wasn’t enough. Andrei looked like he would have certainly given him a better fight, but all you guys thinking Tim threw the fight are just pathetic. I guess nothing will stop some of you from remaining in ignorant bliss. I can’t wait for Fedor vs. Couture though, I hope Trump hooks Randy up with some top notch legal help so maybe the fight many of us have been waiting for can finally happen.
What a night!! The Affliction show was stacked and awesome! I’m sure that the production will improve. Megadeth was a TERRIBLE idea! However, Megadeth gave me a chance to change the channel and check out what was going on with UFC fight night. Silva was awesome in the UFC. Fedor was amazing as usual in Affliction.
THE WORLD IS BIG ENOUGH FOR MORE THAN ONE MMA COMPANY. It makes it more interesting. I loved watching PRIDE and UFC in the past…
I think Affliction has a great future, they just need to work on some of the issues… i.e. improve the production, and keep aqcuiring more awesome fightets. Oh yah and they should NEVER feature Megadeth again.
You cannot win them all. Hard to satisfy everyone. People have different opinions, I can respect that but Fedor is certainly not overrated. He is very good and maybe 5% of total population disagree with me. But we can’t rid this world of pessimistic and whining people. They help people like me feel good to know,I am right and I am glad I supported the well deserved Fedor Emelianenko.Combat sambo champ Russian military.World Judo Champ,world Sambo Champ,Rings Champ,Pride Champ,M1 Champ & WAMMA Champ
Where is that kevin guy who was arguing with me saying Sylvia would TKO Fedor and Fedor would have trouble taking Tim down??
if Fedor is to lose then I think the fight is fixed
Fedor is not overrated, He is a deserving champ.
Come end of the year when he take on Randy Couture and then we’ll see. Even if he won, people will say shit because it is hard to admit their mistakes at the first place so they will go thru their life denying the truth. It is hardest for some human to admit to one’s mistakes. Especially if their leader wont even admit to his mistakes.
if Fedor is to lose then I think the fight is fixed
Fedor is not overrated, He is a deserving champ.

It is hardest for some human to admit to one’s mistakes. Especially if their leader wont even admit to his mistakes.
I just caught clips of Fedor-Sylvia fight on youtube. Fedor ripped through Tim. But it was alot more brutal than Silva’s KO of Irvin. Totally different. Silva’s was clean and precise. Fedor’s was like an explosion. I didn’t even see Sylvia land a punch, Fedor sized him up then just planted a barrage of punches on him. No resistance from Sylvia at all. Then the transition from stand up to place the rear naked choke on Tim was so smooth. I just hope we can see him come up against Couture eventually, because there is few fights left for him in the HW division now I think.
JOHN-STRADAMUS iS BACK!!!!~ All u klowns, who seriously sat here and attacked me for saying that James Irvin was not a worthy opponent and that he didnt belong in this fight…say something now?
Yeah, I guess Fedor is pretty washed up! tools, start showing the best HEAVYWEIGHT That MMA has ever seen some respect, u all sound retarded hating on the baddest man alive. Arlovski is back to the pitbul! Barnett, HORSE!!~
Great night of betting, I won BIG on FEDOR and Barnett! I also hit all my parlays and bets on Babalu! all u haters, I won back what I lost on the Forrest fight and then some!
Dana is sick to his stomach that Fedor really thrashed Tim Sylvia….No one has ever destroyed/dominated Tim that easy, not even Arlovski in the 1st fight! Show the Mike Jordan of mma some respect!
Keep trying to convince yourselves that Fedor is not the best Heavyweight fighter of all time, guys sound really stupid!
Doesnt matter who he fights, Freakshows like choi, or top fighters like Sylvia, they all meet the same fate….A quick and lethal destruction at the hands of the last russian Emperor!
Bow Down! Bow Down! West siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide! In my west-side connection Voice! lol
Hate to say it but I told u so!
you know Choi lasted longer than Sylvia against Fedor
OK, you can make an arguement for either one being best p4p, I just give the edge to Silva. The only reason is both have cleaned out there divisions, but Anderson looks like he could clean out another one as well. My only concern is if Anderson doesn’t fight the 205′ers that he should (Liddell, Rampage, Forrest, I’m sure I’m missing some)then Fedor goes on to beat Arlovski and Randy then nevermind pfp, now we start talking all time legends for Fedor. For now, Anderson is p4p, but Fedor is 1a.
I disagree with you TC. I think Fedor is the best because he has been Dominant for much longer than silva! sliiva wasnt this dominate fighter that he is today when he was fighting in pride….On the other hand, Fedor has been winning dominantly since he joined pride in 2003…Fedor haS BEEN dominant for much longer than Silva has.
I am about to keep it real for all of you: All this pound 4 pound talk is just speculation and matter of oppinion. comparing lightweights to middleweights to heavyweights is impossible, so no 1 will ever be the clear cut best p4p fighter in the world.
I am a huge anderson Siva fan, he is without a doubt one of my top 5 favorite fighters, but there is no way he could beat Fedor in a fight, but thats ok, how can anyone expect a world class middleweighht to beat a world class heavyweight? Its just not possible, but that doesnt mean Fedor is better than Silva….we wil never be able to truly compare those 2 fighters, but I will have to admit that Fedor has beaten more top heavyweights than Siva beat top middlweights.
I understand al u TUF nuthuggers love Silva, and thats cool, he is one of the top fighters in the world, but you guys sound really ametuerish saying that Fedor isnt one of the best fighters mma has ever seen. give the man his respect, you guys sound like a bunch of hating Dana white’s when u trash the great Russian!
Afflictions next show will be a huge success! If Couture wins his court case Affliction 2 will feature Fedor vs. Couture (for sure). If Randy doesnt win his case, Affiction 2 willl stil feature great fights because it will either be Fedor vs. Barnett or Fedor vs. Arlovski, all of these possabilities will make for an electric main event!
But the best possible scenario for Affliction 2 is:
Fedor vs. Couture (main event)
Arlovski vs. Barnett (Co main event)
Fedor is 1A to no one. The guy has never lost.
In my opinion the only fighter out there that could give Fedor a run for his money is Silva and that’s it.
hOw the hell can u expect a top middleweight to beat the best Heavyweight of all time? get a clue!
The fact that Silva cant beat Fedor, doesnt make fedor better. How can anyone expect a top middleweight to beat a top heavyweight? Its just not realistic. That doesnt mean that 1 is better than the other. U cant compare a heavyweight with a middleweight! So just enjoy both of their skills and leave this stupid debate alone…U guys are comparing apples with oranges!
Fedor vs Silva. When you read things like that it does make you wonder how old some of these fans are, you would swear that they needed parental supervision to watch MMA.
thats because your entire point of view in life is based off the last things you have seen like a goldfish looking at the new castle he just found in his bowl.
arlovsi has a good chance in my opinion, a very agile and tall striker with great athleticism.
fedor would have a hard time taking him down and on the feet it’s 50/50
Are we talking about the same Arlovski who got beat twice by Tim Sylvia and who has never been the same since. Yeah, I am sure he stands a great chance. Not.
I am not an arlovski fan, I think whoever gets beat twice by that fat ass is not that great of a fighter, but still he is very difficult to overpower, great striking and agility, it wouldn’t be easy for fedor.
Fedor has never had a hard time taking anyone down, and he’s destroyed better strikers than Arlovski (Schilt, CroCop).
I hope they tore Vera’s contract in half after that one, what a giant over-hyped, back peddling, fat hanging over elastic band, barely beating Reese Andy washed up greased up Asian with less fighting ability then a dead cat under a car seat. With that said, Silva and Fedor are still the kings and Dana White can still suck my asshole for disrespecting Fedor. Irvin ate a big punch, Sylvia got choked out immediately and hopefully ended that moose shaped awkward human beings career. What a fantastic Saturday everybody…
yeah, I mean who cares about tim sylvia’s next fight?
he is done.
To all you people saying Tim took a dive, shut up lol. You have obviously never seen Fedor in action, that’s what happens when you fight him, you get ripped through.
Anderson wasn’t any more impressive than he has ever been, anyone really think he could have possibly lost that fight? Not me. Anyone think Fedor would walk through Tim? The guy who Couture couldn’t finish in that position, and took Big Nog 3 rounds to do it? Not me, but he did, and he made it easy. If enough North Americans watched that event, Fedor just became marketable.
I have seen most of fedor fights, not all, but most and that was UGLY.
Sylvia take a dive? Is that why he looked so pissed with himself, muttering curses after he tapped out?
I liked the ring, its a good change from the cage from time to time, always reminds me of PRIDE or DREAM when I see ring-fights. Liked the production, was easily a thousand times better than the UFC event going on at the same time, and a hundred times better than the last two or three UFC events combined. I’m on the sidelines about Megadeth, but it gave me a break to prepare myself mentally enough to watch Fedor annihilate Sylvia.
The uber-weekend of MMA has almost come to a close, all that remains is DREAM.5 and the Lightweight-Grand Prix finale, a tournament the UFC didn’t have the balls to put on, but if they did, would be just as awesome.
Are yopu on glue, the fights might have been exciting but the rest Affliction need to step it up a notch in the production, big john saying adrenaline insted of affliction.
megadeath blew.
Tim sylvia shouldnt have fought fedor..in my opinion fedor IS the pound for pound greatest fighter in the world at this given moment.The only match that would be closely relative for fedor would be a randy couture fight which will probably never happen considering randy is almost a senior..if he did fight fedor it would probably be worth the dollars.as far as the ufc goes…its a quality establishment but are lacking the superstar match ups this year. i think there biggest fight was with either chuck liddel vs wanderlei silva or it could have been the george st pierre vs matt hughes..either way for the size of the company and the depth of the talent pool they got since acquiring pride fighting that is a really lame super card…..UFC NEEDS FEDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anderson silva is the future…you cant fcuk with him
would’ve been nice to see comcast somehow messed everyones order up in my area. thats twice thats happened, once when pride came and now last night. fsn did’nt show any prefights either in my area. bullshit!
I enjoyed the fights. Fedor is unbelievable. Good event. Can’t wait to see Fedor vs. Couture.
Definitely could have done without Megadeth. They were horrible. How old are they anyway?
Wow, I thought some of the undercard fights sucked, but Sobral, Arlovski and Fedor delivered! This was a great card and great event – since we won’t see Fedor-Randy before end of the year I hope we see Fedor-Arlovski as a midday snack for the last emperor. I was quite impressed how Arvloski returned to his old self – I’d certainly love to see more of him again after his underwhelming performance against Werdum.
We can only hope that Affliction sold enough PPV’s to stick around. Some mistakes from their first show will be fixed (underperforming Megadeth!? Bring the RHCP – everyone loves them and they deliver!).
Fedor delivered but Tim looked awestruck to be fighting him????
You still need to do the job…. & WOW did the russian do that???
I knew tim would get his ass handed to him. Oh btw the UFC card was kinda junk. I hope Affliction gives the UFC a run for their money. If they do Mr. White is going to be kicking himself in the ass for not doing what ever it took to sign fedor (the best P4P fighter in the world hands down.
FEDOR.
Nothing else needs said!
UFC sucks. No one can defeat fedor. He was the best heavy weight fighter in pride.UFC does not have a good fighter
