Besides Fedor vs. Arlovski, who’s fighting who?
they could beef this card up and put diaz-alvarez and
something like barnett-sylvia?
Nogueira vs. matysenko will be a very good fight!
I exp[ect Gina Carano to be added to this card!
We may even see Kimbo on this card
true and true.
i believe we will see both. good call.
im sthinkin maybe gina-cyborg
and kimbo~seth rematch or kimbo~kensham?
what do u think?
Kimbo vs Rogers
John.. Gina vs Cyborg!!! Would be insane.. I just don’t want Gina to get hurt face messed up.
me 2. Also, lets not forget that new dream champion, Gegard Mousassi will probably be fighting on this card!
OK, so that’s L’il Nog in the poster then?
No Kimbo is not going to be added!
No Gina and Chris are not going to be added!
Barrentt and Belfort are going to duck out of the fight or get injuried before the fight is ready to go.
and once again affliction will ot be better than the ufc or any ufc cards.
fedor and pitbull are good friends and fedor is going to get him in an armbar in the 1st rd.
i like all the fights and ideas that you guys have mentioned, but if you add all those fights/fighters to the ones already scheduled, you might be talking about a $5million payout. Affliction already lost alot of money on the 1rst show, so they will probably have to tone it down a bit with the fighters salaries. if all the elite fighters were willing to take a paycut, then i could see it happening. i hate bringing up money, but it does matter.
Agreed b.w! None of them are a draw especially with the shitty economy and UFC bouts with more implications. this card will kill them plus now without the “boxing fights” that would have supposedly beef up PPVs.
I can’t tell but I swear that picture looks like Big Nog. Are they twins or something?
I can’t tell but I swear that picture looks like Big Nog. Are they twins or something?
I just can’t see this event being any good. The production will likely suck, and ever since tim ko’d aa, he hasn’t been the same. Basically, once again, I called it, 90% of the same fighters just fighting different opponents.
they got 4 sponcers for this fight, they got golden boy which will duck out after this PPV
they got M-1/Trump/Showtime
Bankrupt in 6 months
Poor Affliction. I was rooting for ‘em though.
Affliction doesn’t care about MMA- They were negotiating with Dana to get back into the UFC until it went south.
not bad ideas stink.
you guys really wanna see kimbo? i find it strange that kimbo gets no love (me included) but yet you guys still wanna see him? Make up your minds!
womens mma really doesn’t interest me (looking around to make sure my wife didn’t hear me!!)
no kidding
I agree, the same fighter regurgitated and fighting other opponents.
90% of the fighters are the same, the production could get better, but will probably still suck and AA hasn’t been the same since timmy KO’d him!
Didn’t you see AA lie there under Big country. He has all the tools to not get zulu’d under a minute against Fedor.
lol, he looked awful, big contry should hve been ko’d sooner
Suhwheeeeeet.
Good card, but i’m sayin there will be an upset in the main event!
Hopefully
I hope to god Arlovski can upset Fedor… no one is giving him a chance in the world… i think win or lose… he will suprise alot of people.
Who’s Vitor’s opponent? I feel lazy lookin’ it up. F*ck this office.
Looks like the exact same card as last time just shuffled around a bit, how many more shows are they gonna have the same guys fighting, and how many different match ups could they have at this rate?
trust me i am sure they will get some good fighters
together for this show.
for example pro~elite just went out of business.
so lots of fighters are free agents right now.
but~
pro elite has contracts with these guys still
and it takes time before they can let a fighter go.
so pro~elite might be holding back some of the better fighters
so that the ufc doesnt scoop them up right away..
pro~elite and affliction are tight so contract procratinating
could be quick if affliction wanted to grab diaz-alvarez and
some other top guys.
i really think this night will turn out 100x better then banned.
and who really cares how the card shapes up?
arlovski is fighting fedor!
this fight has been long anticipated for me.
AGREED!~
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But who’s going to be their musical opening act? Bon Jovi, New Kids on the Block, Ratt, Quiet Riot maybe?
nope, IRON MAIDEN!!!!
Chef-
LOL. How about Slayer, Poison or AC/DC?
Maybe they could get Brett Michaels to fight Axl Rose in the octagon. Didn’t those two used to hate each other? lol
you guys hear the chinese democracy, gnr album was supposed to come out 13 years ago, is coming out next month. Shows my age!
i like the poison idea…fedor coming out to “every rose has it’s thorn”
aa coming out to “unskinny bop”
LMFAO!!! How about some skid row…
Or Steel Dragon!
So true
Well good luck to them; I’m betting they fold, but who knows, maybe they’ll make it.
It’s only their 2nd show. Besides, Matyushenko, Hieron and Horodecki weren’t in the first show.
y is there a pic of big nog he dont fight for affliction
that is his twin brother
A doppleganger.
ufcaddict, you should to watching some mma instead of just ultimate fighting.
good question…
it’s a pic of ‘Minotauro’ Nogueira, not ‘Big Nog’
it’s confusing. One is Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, the other is Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. Big Nog fights HWT, his brother fights Light Heavy
who are you explaining that to? you are the only one confused..
u confusing your self!
i understood u when u 1st said it was his twin bro
and i noticed it was a pic of minotauro thats why i asked the question in the 1st place
“Minotauro” is Big Nog (Rodrigo) – “Minotouro” is lil nog (Rogerio)
Definitely NOT like “Shogun” and “Ninja”, LMAO!
This is a good card, but how many people are seriously going to buy 3 PPV’s in January? I can’t miss a fight I have wanted to see for a long time, Hendo/Franklin. There is no way anyone wants to miss BJ/GSP. Looks like this card may suffer.
I think hendo/franklin is going be free on spike my guess but yea i hear what you are saying
When the UFC announced the Hendo/Franklin fight they said PPV. I hope it is free, but if the UFC cannot counter Affliction on the same night, they may just counter with people’s wallets.
I’ll but the Affliction PPV and the GSP/BJ PPV. I wouldn’t pay to see Hendo/Franklin. It’s not that I don’t like the fighters or I think it would be a bad fight…it just doesn’t really have any lustre to it. I mean, where does the winner go from there?
To coach TUF season 9, US vs UK and face Bisping at the end of the season to decide the #1 contender to the MW belt.
Why? So we can see Silva kick the shit out of Franklin for a 3rd time? How exciting.
go to a bar man… free free, get some wings and a few pitchers of a beer and youll spend less than what you would for a PPV but get to look at tail and have food and drink
this is a very good question BNF.
all three fights are fights i have wanted to see for some time.
if i could only choose two?
it would be fedor-aa and bj-gsp.
very tough choice to make~ but if i had too? thats what it is.
i am curious what 2 fights out of the 3
other maniacs would choose? or are going to watch.
i will be watching all three~ and 2 from the 3rd row!
I also want to see all 3 fights. GSP/BJ for sure then a tie for 2nd. The tie braker for me is easy. The production value of Affliction is no where near UFC, period. I don’t like/need Skid Row or some other lame band, I didn’t care for the commentating at the last Affliction show (Rogan is the best) and the ring is not my favorite. So for me I will watch Affliction on the net the next day.
watch the only fight that gets me to think of affliction online when it is time for the main event and watch all the ufc fights
I’ll watch all 3 cause I can go to BW3 and watch them all for free (just pay for some beer), but if I had to choose, NO BRAINER I’d cut out Affliction!!
exactly, its like people on here have never heard of a bar… im a 90 second walk away from 3 different bars that show the fights
Bj/Gsp is d 1 to watch,but again fedor is around so who knows.
I just hope Horodecki gets stomped. I saw this fight with him when he was in the IFL. He was totally getting dominated by this dude.. who I cant think of his name at the moment… and was just about to be submitted, when he climbed through the ropes to force a stand up. Then he won a decision. I was so pissed for some reason and ever since then.. I cant stand him. He even got dropped with a couple shots and somehow pulled off the win. I also saw his last fight in the IFL, which made me feel somewhat better, because he got put in this move where he had no choice but to eat like 10 power shots straight to the face, then of course the fight was stopped before he got mutilated.
Hope to see that again haha.
the last one you refer to was against Ryan Schultz , it should have been stopped earlier but I guess the referee liked seeing Horodecki getting punched too.
BTW – Why do many people say this Affliction card is good ? I for one am very disappointed . Who is Barnett gonna face exactly ? Looking at the fighters on the poster is it Myteshenko?? I figuered they’d protect Barnett but this is too much. Barnett Rothwell could have been good , or at least Sylvia Rothwell . This card is much weaker – no Sylvia,Rothwell or Rizzo . why?
And I was hoping they’d get Musashi , but that’s a no go either.
After half a year break I was expecting a better come back. The main event is good but you need a co main event or something , and they don’t have that…
Rothwell ain’t worth watching.
HOwever said KImbo vs Seth in this card is an idiot.
That would be so tacky for such a great card.
GIna should fight though.
If Gina doesn’t land a fighting gig out of this I’ll gladly give her something(one) to do.
Too bad we’re now missing out on the near-daily threads about boning Gina Carano. This is a sad replacement!
How is this a good card seriously ? Granted AA Fedor is great (though Sylvia Fedor was imo better hyped) . But the rest??
Why are Sylvia and Rothwell not on this card ? Who Barnett is going to fight ? Kudos for taking IFL fighters but come on , is this the best they can do to compete with the UFC ?
For me this is a major downfall than the first event . They had 6 months to bring fighters , Im sorry Horodecki and matyshenko just don’t cut it . people who do cut it – Alex Emelyanenko , Musashi , Rothwell , Sylvia (he still is a draw).
They haven’t announced the full card yet. I’d be pretty surprised if Tim, Mousasi, and Rothwell don’t get added to the card. Not to mention Big Country and Eleks (pending medical).
Any card with Fedor vs. AA is automatically a good card. You bastards paid to watch Forrest vs. Rampage and that entire undercard was junk, so do not complain
I hate to see Fedor vs AA, ‘cus they are my fav fighters. Crap, Russian vs Russian…
Why do you care if it’s one Russian against another? As an American, I choose between one or the other all the time. I am a very partiotic American, but for some reason, don’t get wrapped up in rooting for a fighter simply cause he’s American. Olympics, World Cup Soccer, sure but not MMA. Too many American fighters I can’t stand, and too many foreign fighters I like.
World Cup Soccer? How’s that working out for you? lol
Okay, that was a really bad one. Actually, never watch soccer until the world cup. You get my point though.
you do realize that Belarus is a completely different country than Russia
decker, you are overrating the intelligence of the average mma fan.
Well, they are different countries now, but they used to be all in one… It’s like comparing Mississippi with Alabama.
god, where do you guys come up with this?
is Belorussia the same as russia?
we see american fighters fight everyday, why do you care?
I will guarantee you this, if AA shows up like he did in his last fight he will not make it out of the first round. I’m curious on to what fedor will do. Will he try and stand with AA, or will he take him down and work his brutal gnp looking for a submission. I don’t see this making it out of the 1st round. For me Fedor is the A. Silva of HW and I dont see the 2 best mma fighters losing before they retire.
Really? That seems to be a common thing around here. They will lose eventually, unless they pull a Mayweather. They arent invincible. I dont understand why people think that. Neither is truly undefeated. They have both already lost.. it is more than possible that it can happen again.
Fedor has an almost unblemished record, but Silva has lost 4 times. Technically he has only really lost 3 times. The illegal kick sucks but he was still winning that fight, so I’ll give a freebie on that.
They have and will lose again. They are fighters. It happens to the best.
very good comment. Al these guys say fedor is undefeated, sherdoggers are the worst, but he lost! I don’t care if it was a chair to the head and he got cut, a loss is a loss just like anderson silva’s win sat. is a win!
Silva lost to the sickest sub ever…..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb5B6xBZiX8
Youtube is blocked at work, but if this is the Chonan fight it is quite the crazy submission. I heard it described as something that you maybe pull off 1 in 100 times in practice. Another sub that was crazy was GSP vs. Santos. That was a wild armbar.
and I know that the GSP vs. Santos wasn’t a MMA fight so nobody jump on me.
That was a sick sub. And kevin you are correct Fedor did lose and he almost lost to Fujita cause he got rocked still don’t know how he recovered on that and how he didnt get hurt when randleman dropped him on his head lol.
I remember people making similar coments about Liddel a few years ago. Most people could not invision him losing. However, It does and will happen, if they continue to fight the best the sport has to offer. It does’nt dillute the argument that they are the best, but simply that no one is invincible. That to me, is what I love about MMA. Anything can happen.
not really, he had 3 loses. Fedor has 0 legit loses.
Yeah, but you have to be able to CONTINUE to fight (or continue in a tournament). Cote was injured and so was Randy against Vitor. Nobody is saying these don’t count as LOSSES. If you can’t continue , You LOSE, Fedor is no exception. He will have a legit loss in January anyhow, AA is going to KHTFO.
fedor is gonna tear arlovski apart on the feeet then on the ground it isnt a fair fight poor pitbull ….
does anyone know whats up with aleks
fedor has no loses i dont care what people say, if Cote had come out and kicked Silva in the balls and Silva couldnt continue it would be a no contest…so just because the ref didnt catch the elbow and it was a tourny doesnt justify fedors loss as a loss
