Soko was hangin out at Quest the whole time I was trainin yesterday, Dan left for Ireland couple days ago I think, if not last week, good to see Soko didnt go with him, I was worried that he would go to help corner Dan, but Soko needs to chill and stay focused here as his fight is comin up quick.
This is a great match up. To me this is UFC ppv co-main event worthy! THis is going to be a very entertaining bout. I like Babalu by submission, although Soko has a great chance of Tko’ing Babalu. Babalu is one of my favorites so I will be rooting for him
This is one of the few fights on this Affliction card that I’m interested in.
However, I have to disagree with you John: this would NOT be UFC co-main event worthy. Its good right where its at: a solid fight on the main card.
this is better than diego sanchez/joe stevenson, and that is a main event
sanchez/stevenson is the main on a FREE event. big difference. i think if babalu cant take it into the 2nd or 3rd, it’s his fight to win.
sanchez/stevenson should be on the undercard of a fight night, were either going to see sanchez gas out from the weight cut and get laid on for three rounds or were going to see how overrated joe stevenson is when he gets his third loss in four tries and goes to fight in some canadian promotion
if sanchez/stevenson should be on the undercard of an ufn, what would be the main, lesnar/mir? gsp./a.silva? let me know when your’e done trolling.
I dont get the logic of brendan constantly comparing this card to UFC 95, a free card that is happening next month. Oh, I know why, because his BS argument wouldnt hold up to the 3 other events (as well as the 95) that Zuffa is holding this month. Maybe the UFC should only start holding events every six months that have like 2, maybe 3 good match-ups. Are there any past UFC events you would like to compare the Affliction card to as well?
umm ok UFC 96 sucks also… there you go?
Snynster: I know that in reality its not co-main event worthy of a UFC ppv….BUt I am a big fan of both fighters so for me, I wouldnt complain if it were a co main event…..BUt I dont expect others to feel the same
Way to back up what you say brendan. I hope you dont plan a future in law or anything.
I think Sanchez/Stevenson is a better fight than this. I don’t even mind that its a main event. 95 is a sick card, and I think its better than Affliction 2. IMO, theres only 3 or 4 decent fights on this card.
And nice to jump on 96 brenden. Its not even fully completed.
oh yeah, Babalu by either UD, or GnP stoppage not in the 1st.
If soko can do it in the first round and a half maybe, i really hope he comes in ready to go the distance or at least keep the pace high. Agree with John, If babalu gets him on his back i can see him getting a sub but if it stays on the feet soko has a good shot to get a tko/ko
I’ll take Babalu over the biggest dissappointment of 07/08 via submission. Although I really dont like Bobby Southworth, Babalu’s win over Southworth wasn’t “great” like Loretta Hunt claims.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY THEY LET LORETTA HUNT TALK ABOUT MMA? SHe said Babalu will eat you up on the ground like 5 times and is just so annoying.
They all talked about Soko’s Judo but he hasn’t used it in forever. Bah! Loretta Hunt isn’t even doable.
Soko wins by tko in the first round otherwise Babalu will subbed because he will gas.
My issue with Loretta is the relentlessly blind Couture Nuthuggery. She finds a way to talk about him in any and all situations. Otherwise she’s ok.
doesnt she work for sherdog? What did you guys expect?
Soko for the knock out, chuck liddell style!
I’m actually pretty excited for this fight.
I got babalu FTW. RNC 2rnd
soko by ko, babalus got a good chin but the hes still been ko’d
Babalu by submission or GnP … end of Rd 1.
i hate the way these affliction guys break down the fights.
“Babalu is actually really good ground guy. A very aggressive ground guy. And, uh, eats guys up on the ground.” WTF?
Seriously – I agree JB. The girl was retarded.

thanks. dont know if its true or not, but that would make for a great fight.
yea a buddy told me about it. this would make for a pretty good fight, would be a big win for dos santos imo.
Yeah, like Sokoudjou is goin go to try to hip toss a BJJ guy that good after fighting Machida.
Neither he nor Nakamura, or Cane, clinched up and went for the takedown.
WAR BABALU!!!Show this Sokodjou that he’s just a fluke!
Soko is not a fluke. He’s just 26. He’s an up-and-coming fighter, nothing more, nothing less. He’s beaten some good fighters, and lost to some good fighters. He’s inconsistent, but I think he’ll only get better.
That said, Babalu takes this one.
Why is it sokoudjou never used his judo once in the ufc???
No fighter gave him a chance to use it. They were not just going to stand there and give him the opportunity, and he was not able to create one for himself.
He used it once to trip Machida.
babalu triangle 1st bisbing sucks hendo r frank would khtfo
