I think Sylvia will be fighting Barnett…And maybe Buentello/Rizzo could fight each other..But if Affliction is wanting to secure an easier fight for Barnett and Tim?, then they could have Rizzo fight Tim, and Barnett could face off agianst Buentello..

Buentello vs. Rizzo is actually a great idea. Stylistically they are perfect for each other. Boxer vs. Muy Tai, and neither has a lick of ground game. I actually really like this match up

I am probably the biggest fan of Japanese mma on tghis entire site, but I am sorry to say that I am not too excited about this event.

I must disagree john…For I am the “biggest fan of Japanese MMa” on this site…lol

I agree with you dude..This card is not that great..
But I am looking forward to Gomi’s fight…I have always been a big fan..

NEWS FLSAH:

Rampage Update: A few days after loosing to Forrest Rampage had a falling out with Juanito. Rampage now thinks he is God…they think he either has skizefrenia or bipoloar disorder….Basically its very hard to have a conversation with Rampage because he is dilusional.

My Prayers go out to Rampage and his Kids!

Also, Mazzaggatti appologized to Rumble Johnson at the ElitexC event on Saturday. Maz admitted that it was a bad call and Rumble graciously accepted his apology….they then held hands and sang Coombaya!

Yeah, I read that Rampage update earlier this morning..I posted it, but it hasn’t come up yet..
-Get well Rampage..

I did not know about Mustach-Mazz apologized to Rumble..
Thats good of Mazz to do that..He knew it was a B/s call, and I am glad he owned up to it..We need more ref’s owning up to mistakes…
(cough cough) Mirglibadcalla (cough cough)

Thx for the update John..

I hope they reverse that “Bad Call”.. and why not have instant repaly in MMA.. like Goldberg and Rogan are like 4 steps from the octagon and always have the replay up and ready to go. So if there is a iffy call..just open the cage door..walk down the steps.. take a lookat hte screen.make the right call.. a ref will not always be in the best position to see and make the right call. This case is a perfecct example.

Damn..Rampage.. My prays go out to you and your fam.. I hope he gets his life together..he has been such a great personnality in MMA thus far.. it would suck for him to go out like this.

Yeah, at some point, Instant replays need to be implemented in mma! Since we have the technology to get the calls correct maybe its tuime we start using it. Fighters work to hard and losses really downgrade their careers, so we owe it to the hardworking fighters who lay it all on the line, to at the very least get the calls right!

JOHN. i like tim vs barnett as the co-main as well. i knew that tim had already beaten rothwell ealier in their careers, but i dont know if they were training partners back then. buentelo/rizzo makes sense but where does that leave rothwell? maybee against aleks (if his hep-b gets better, i dont know how that works) or goodridge. as for rampage i think juanito may have been his problem all along. i read somewhere that before all the melee, that rampage went on some kinda crazy fast where he didnt eat or sleep for 2 days, he just drank water and tons of energy drinks, very bizzare. but im with you guys i wish the best for him and his family. he was on the cusp of being a cross-over star, maybee the pressure and underlying issues are what pushed him over the edge. instant replay is a must for the ufc cuz it is easy to catch everything on camera that the refs cant always see. at least mazagotti apologized this time (unlike the lesnar/mir fight).

yeah, I am still waiting for him to abologize to Brock for costing him the fight. maz also needs to appologize to the fans because we will now have to sit through another title match thats a mismatch….Come on, Mir has no business fighting Nog for the title. I would much rather see werdum vs. Nog 2, then Mir vs. nog!

they have some good fighters on this card but are going to have a hard time living up to dreams event, they should have just copromoted with dream and had there fighters in that tournement

lol, costing lesnar the fight? what are you talking about? he took a point away and the fight didnt even go to a decision…

AGREED! TH3e Gomi grand prix…lol Win the tournament and get your ass kicked by Gomi, doesnt sopund too appealing to me~

Whats up with the “Figting Fedor” or whatever that reality show is called?

Have they begun filming??

NO idea. I know nothing about the show. I dont even know if it will air in the USA or Russia! I hope they just eliminate the idea all together!

I heard somewhere that Fedors traditional New Years eve fight will be agianst the winner of Fighting’Fedor(TV show)..

I think they are airing the show in Japan, and having Fedor fight his fight in Dream..I cant remember where I heard that, but I hope it is not true..

yeah, I heard that too, but recently I heard that he is fighting cro cop. If Randy wins his court case, he iwll fight Fedor in March, and would leave open the possability of Fedor vs. Barnett on New Years eve in Japan, since boith Fedor and Barnett are gods in Japan!
