When it came to my comment you said MMA is not conducive to a ring. Now you say bottom line is fighters make the fight, not the place where it happens. That's exactly why I said it was a terrible analogy. This Affliction card doesn't have arena league fighters compared to the UFC. The main reason arena league sucks is because it has lower-tier players. Exactly, it doesn't matter whether it's a ring or a cage, it matters who is fighting. A good fight is a good fight, period. Pride had some of the best fights of all time. Again, TERRIBLE ANALOGY, and thanks for contradicting yourself and coming to my defense in the end. Ok BNF-you just contradicted yourself.

I think that mislead some people. And I didn't talk about how great this Affliction card is, I talked about how your argument about Fedor doesn't really hold weight. I would be very interested for you to read past the second sentence and to hear your thoughts. I think the notion that Fedor won't have proven himself if he never fights in the UFC is nonsense, and I put my reasons why. Seriously, your comments regarding Fedor and the UFC don't make sense. And...I NEVER SAID THE AA FIGHT WAS A MISMATCH OR TALKED ABOUT GREAT THE AFFLICTION CARD WAS!

I'd look all over the dial for the closest thing on network TV. I'm not saying it's not a cock block (or Brock block.. that was good btw), because it is. All that I'm saying is that there's probably a significant amount of people that Spike is most likely to pick up as viewers. All those people who might want to see mixed martial arts or some kind of combat sport that weekend because of all the other big fight events going on but can't for whatever reason. And if the UFC can get TV time out of that, of course they're going to push for it.

I just won a trip to Chicago to train with Arlovski and Tim Allegretti, maybe he will talk more about it! I'm super pumped. Anyways, he now sells a tshirt on his site that has him saying 'how taste my pee pee'? lol! Yeah Andrei actually dislikes Sylvia, he’s the only fighter he personnally wants to beat up.

And what is the point of your comment? Oh yeah, to bash me and the UFC. The only 2 things you contribute to this site.

I just dont know the purpose of having WAMMA, a do nothing, poser organization, affiliated with their organization. If you do background on the head WAMMA officials, aside from Militech non of them have a background in MMA. They only want to supposedly 'help fighters' in hopes of financially benefiting themselves, plain and simple. Oh, I almost forgot, Goldberg's purpose of being a part of WAMMA is trying to pretentend he knows about MMA and not look like the moron he is, as pefectly demonstrated in his commentary and post fight interview highlight videos on youtube. You dont need to be a genius to know that Affliction isnt going to be around long. They are already in the hole big time, and there is no way that they are going to get a gate or enough PPV buys to cover the money they are paying their fighters. It's basic math. If this show on the 24th does still in fact happen, I'm more than certain it will be Afflictions last show. Just ask anyone on here about how I said Elite XC was going to go under. You didnt have to be a genius either to see that one coming. IMO, the card itself is decent.
