this event was doom from the first day it got booked
fedor will destory josh barnett he could defend against arlovski i dont know why they didnt bring in randy i thought his last fight was supposed to be with brock
no, the ufc NEVER signs guys to only one fight… that was the first fight of his 3 fight deal. His next fight is against Nogueira on August 29th at UFC 102.
they just signed cro cop to a 1 fight verbal deal.
It wasn’t supposed to be a one fight deal but Crocop abandoned the UFC after yesterdays fight.
Randy Couture signed a 4 fight contract b4 his fight with Tim Silvia. #1 Tim Silvia – #2 Gabriel Gonzaga – #3 Brock Lesnar – #4 Antonio Rodrigo Nogiuera. Randy’s contract is up after UFC 102. Get it together JoeDaniel
Vitor vs Jorge is a very great matchup imo. I am also looking forward to the Daley-Hieron fight. Mousasi-Babalu should be exiting aswell.
THEY SHUD BRING ALEKSANDER IN 2 SMASH SOMEBODY. MOUSASI IS A GUD ASS FIGHTER THEY SHUD GET HIM IN THE UFC
Looking forward to this one !!
for
great fights but i’ll save my money for ufc in oct
WHY??? The UFC has on average 2 good fights per card. This card has 7-8 worth watching. Save your money for a weak show?!? Where are the intelligent fight fans at?
ITS GUNA B SICK. AFTER THIS 1 FEDOR O BARNETT SHUD GET A CHANCE 2 BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA BROCK & MIR!
I wanna see Aleks vs Rogers!
TIM THE MANIAC SYLVIA GOT KTFO BY RAY MERCER IN 10 SECONDS! LMFAO
TIM LOOKED LIKE JACKED FOR THAT FIGHT LIKE HE TRAINED HIS ASS OFF
LOL!
I wouldn’t 10 bucks to watch this crappy card.
huh?
canada michael, you must not like the sport of mma. you would not pay 10$ to see the greatest mixed martial artist (i know its debatable) of all time fight? what a clown
Now I won’t have to steal it off the internet. LMAO
THE GREAT FEDOR WILL CONQUER BARNETT WITHOUT MAJOR COMPLICATIONS, A GOOD COMBAT WILL BE BUT THE ATTRACTION IS TO SEE EXPONENT OF THE AMM TO FIGHT TO THE MAXIMUM. FEDOR EMELIANENKO
Fedor in the UFC
i got Mir over Fedor or barnett…after he knocks out brock lesnar of course..
GOOD JOKE
Is this some kind of sick, tasteless joke?
Good main event and co-main event is decent but the rest of the card is crap. Name fighter vs. a nobody = Affliction MMA.
The UFC has weak fightcards. And ignorant fight fans who only watch what the UFC puts in front of them should refrain from commenting. The card has how many good fights?!? Name one UFC that had a card this stacked, please!
7-8 good fights and not a weak show like the UFC’s production. A REAL FIGHT FAN would know who these guys are.
THE 2 GREATEST FIGHTERS IN THE HEAVEYWEIGHT DIVISION. FROM DIFFERENCE PARTS OF THE GLOBE. AMERICA AND RUSSIA, YOU NO UFC PRESIDENT D.WHITE WILL GET B.LESNAR and E.FADOR to get it on.this is like a rocky dream match.
ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY !
fedor is goin to jail for murderin josh barnett
Hahahaha, good one !
My pick:
Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko
Gegard “The Dream Catcher” Mousasi
Vitor “The Phenom” Belfort
fedors gonna take off 1 of josh’s arms & beatem 2 death! Sick ass
card!
good matchups!
Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko
Gegard “The Dream Catcher” Mousasi
Vitor “The Phenom” Belfort
barnett tested positive and isn’t fighting anymore
sad to see you guys pay moeny for a dream matchup that won’t happen now
Was never a dream matchup for me. I knew who would win.
affliction is in trouble
cancelled per SI.com, Sherdog.
