this will be the 1st time that the UFC has produced a countdown show for a UFN event. Dana is pulling out all the stops to try and help rain on Afflictions Parade!
WAR AFFLICTION!
Im putting $300 on Irvin. Its not much, but its not far fetched to think that Irvin can pull of a win.
u r willing to risk $300 on a 7-1 underdog? THats ballsy right there!
Good for u! I will probably bet like $20 on Irvin in case of the upset, I will collect $140. If he looses, which I expect its only $20
$300 is not much I guess. I can put that together in like 45min-hour at a poker table. Ive never bet on MMA, but Im just giving it a shot this time around.
Ballsy!
Ballsy! Sounds stupid to me. Poker player gambling on mma fights. Good “luck” with that. I prefer investing with an education and a lot better odds.
Already have a bachelors, but thanks for the life advice.
Like I said, its only $300.
betting on irvin is what we pro gamblers call
a dead bet!
sorry but i wipe my butt with hundreds
and i would not even put up 20 bucks in this fight.
since 300 is not much
on the otherhand he
could wipe his butt with hundreds aswell.
the only difference is he probably wipes then puts the money
back in his wallet.
well this time u will be wiping and the flushing the money
down with ur turds cause there is no way andy looses this fight!
lol
Wow, you really got me there. I guess Im not as good as someone that makes up stories about donating thousands to charity and winning the lotto. Typical NorCal trash.
I guess we’ll know Saturday night!
Mexicutioner, I guess when you say you’re putting $300 on someone you’re also asking for everyone’s advice! lol
Anyone who says $300 is “nothing” is a fool. Even rich people know the value of a dollar. I wouldn’t wipe my butt with a dollar bill and I have more than a few of them.
well put adam
I prefer wiping my butt with dollar coins.
Man! All this talk and countdowns has got me crazy. Even though Im a big fan of the Spider, for some reason I keep thinking Irvin will take this one. I dont see how, Silva is just as big and is the way better striker. But still something tells me it wont be that dominating for the Spider maybe even a loss???
Dude, you guys are crazy. Anderson Silva can fight at 205, and will kill James Irvin. The only way the Sandman wins is if he catches Silva right on the button and knocks him out.
No offense to Irvin, he’s a solid fighter. But Anderson Silva is the best pound for pound in the world, and I see him finishing this at the end of the 1st or beginning of the 2nd round.
Andrew, you comment doesnt make sense. 1st you say “Anderson can fight at 205″ I never said he couldnt. 2nd you say “kill James Irvin” that would mean Anderson goes to jail (lol) 3rd you say “Sandman wins if he catches Silva right on the button and KO’s him” so Irvin does have a chance, so that doesnt make us crazy right?
I’ll put my equity on Silva, oh i forgot im upside down!DAm! Silva by 2nd round ass whooping.
Irving is strong but not very good at setting up his offense. They should change his name from Sandman to Lucky Strike.
Silva will dominate this fight.
Yeah I like Silva, but Irvin is no slouch, and I think that he could win this one 1 out of 7 times. If I had 3 hundie floating around I’d totally put it on Irvine and hope for the big pay-day. 7-1 is more than fair.
I’m watching Affliction and taping Spike’s fight night. Regarding Silva vs Irvin?..never know in MMA…Look what Matt Serra did to GSP or Gonzaga to Cro Cop.
Mexicutioner – not sure why everyone jumped on you – if you felt like putting $300 on Irvin good for you – that’s a big pay day if he manages to pull it off.
