Hah! Its funny you mention that.

On another forum there is a poll on what youd do that night and thats one of the options.

I chose to watch the UFC cuz you know Affliction will be easier to find on YouTube than UFC.

However, when it comes to bars, I dont know if theyll air Affliction, which is a ppv, or air a FREE UFC fight night that has commercials.

Ill have to call ahead and see.

I haven't ever had a chance to see Fedor fight live. That is the main reason I am buying it.

shitty match up, Chuck by round 1 KO!

AKIRA · 06-19-2008, 07:20 PM

Ya never know. If Jardine can do it...

True, but I don't really care to see Rashad fight even if he does win.

By shitty match up I don't really mean Rashad will be outclassed, but it is just a fight I don't want to see.

Regardless, I still think a round 1 KO is probable.

looking forward to this hopefully mmatko will have the fight vid on there afterwards

AKIRA · 06-22-2008, 10:12 AM

Joe Rogan said it perfectly when he said CB is more mad at himself than the call. He was beginning to tap, then prolly decided he wanted to fight through it, but it was too late. CBs a joke.

Fight of the night to me as good ol' Diego. That fucker finally came back! What I loved about him was when Luigi would disengage and walk around the cage, Diego said "OHHH NO YOU DONT," and charged that slob! That was great and I am glad hes back to his old self again. He needed it.

Evan Tanner....that poor fucker just needs to go. Kendall made him look so bad. Jesus...he even grew out a beard. What an asshole. Arlovski, he is NOT. Ill give Kendall some credit though for those knees.

Spencer's elbows from no where were pretty cool. Other than that, I thought it was a dull fight.

The first fight of the night...I forget their names, but what was that? A fucking knee fest? Thats all those idiots did. I didnt find that fight entertaining either. I just know it was a kid vs. an older guy. That older guy has yet to impress me and look at that, he lost.

Pity I didnt see the Horn fight and I left before Eastman's fight. Who won it?

bigss75 · 06-22-2008, 08:59 PM

Eastman got KO, he took some huge shots before getting completely dropped. Tanner has never really been a great fighter but just has tons of heart. I was glad that CB lost, he just seemed like a dbag. It was funny how amir was played out like a total newb kickboxer with no grappling experence when he has a black belt in sambo.

What happens if Irwin beats Silva? I think they should of put Anderson against Wandy or another uptier lhw

bigss75 · 06-24-2008, 11:27 PM

Hey new million dollar question, is the Affliction Card going to allow elbows or not, I know it is in a ring but they haven't talked about elbows

Richie1888 · 06-25-2008, 03:47 AM

anyone see the kim couture fight on mmatko she was in bad shape when that fight finished

AKIRA · 06-25-2008, 09:55 AM

No elbows? What the fuck?

Horn tapped out to a guillotine again.

TrojanMan60563 · 06-26-2008, 07:33 AM

When is Fedor fighting? He is a badass...I wish he would fight in the UFC. He would clean up!!

Richie1888 · 06-26-2008, 08:02 AM

tim sylvia hes fighting on the 19th. i know tim isnt great but at least its an idea of how he might do in the ufc

bigss75 · 06-26-2008, 11:45 AM

Tim is legit, everyone gives him shit but he is never afraid to fight the top hw contenders unlike Fedor.

Neither is (or was) Cabbage.

Goodfella9783 · 06-26-2008, 09:07 PM

Sylvia is pretty vulnerable to submissions as we've seen in the past. He absolutely needs to keep it on his feet. If I were him, I'd go in there with a Chuck Liddell like game plan. He better be ready to sprawl when he commits to his punches. And he can't underestimate Fedor's striking, because it's a lot better than Couture's and even Randy knocked his ass down.

LOL comparing Cabbage to Tim is a joke. His only losses are to top ten HWs.

I don't want to sound like I'm giant sloth fan but I'm sick of Fedor is God groups on sherdog and bb.com, I think he could be beat by Sylvia, Barnett, Couture, and maybe Arlovski

Fedor is a badass no doubt about it. I woud love to see him fight big names in the UFC to prove just how bad he is.

Lets face it anyone can be beaten on any given day by just about anyone in this sport. There is an obvious pick of who should win, but in reality it only takes one good strike to turn the tables. Just look at the GSP vs Sera fight when Sera won...it was one lucky punch on the button that led into a ground and pound to end the fight. Then in the rematch GSP made him look very amature.

Fedor is a bad dude and he can take a punch as well. I think he deserves credit where its due, and not to mention his record is amazing.
