Anyone who wants Affliction to fail doesn’t enjoy mma

Maybe you need to think it through before you comment. Having multiple organizations with top fighters who don’t fight each other is exactly what ruined boxing.

Were you a fan during the Pride and UFC days when we could only dream of some of the top guys fighting each other? No thanks. The sooner all the top fighters are in one organization the better, just like every other major sport.

You also need to realize that one major organization is FAR more likely to be able to get a longterm successful network showing, like many other major sports – meaning its free to the public.

Right now, with too many organizations, its an awful mess and we have to considering whose PPV we want to buy and only guess who are some of the best fighters.

Besides Fedor-Barnett, what fight do they have left to matchup? Everything else left is your Sylvia-Buentello and Din-Lauzon type fights which i would watch but you guys get the point.

NNR: I am surprised to hear this out of you…wanna know what fights they have left? Here we go:

Soko vs. Rogerio Nog 2
Soko vs. MOusasi
Soko vs. Vladamyir
Soko vs. Tito

Rogerio vs. Tito
Rogerio vs. Mousasi

Tito vs. mousasi

They could book fighters from other organizations…like pic up a dream middleweight like Jacre and have him face Lindland

They can get k-1 strikers and do like:
Vitor vs. Melvin
Le Banner vs. Tim Sylvia

They can get guys on loan via cross promotion like Werdum, Alistar,

a whole lot of possibilities left for affliction. I hope they survive!

Babalu vs. Rogerio
Babalu vs. TIto
Babalu vs. MOusasi

they can still do: Lauzon vs. Polish hammer
I can go on forever!

They can add depth by signing some guys that the UFC cut for their under cards like: Clementi, Fioravanti

Fioravanti vs. Jay Heiron would be entertaining!
clementi vs. Din thomas

After his last performance i couldn’t care less if i ever saw Soko. He keeps lying to us saying that he’s improving his ground(just like Houston A). Lil Nog needs to be in the UFC plain and simple. Maybe a fight with Tito to get some hype but UFC for sure. Babalu has business in propelling Feijao to his bright future then fighting your Cyrilles at Strikeforce. Mousasi will go heavy which is the only interesting matchup. Lauzon needs to be in the WEC because there’s no on there that can give him a decent fight. Jay goes to rule strikeforce when shields moves up. Timmy loses to Mercer and brings shame on MMA. Like i said you’re mentioning interesting fights but nothing spectacular. They would be holding good fighters in a weak roster.

At this point, if you’ve heard the interviews, outlook is bleak so they won’t sign new guys or prospects. They can’t afford Japanese fighters either. Trump has collapsed so they’re on their own.

they just signed Din THomas to a 3 fight contract this week. Doesnt sound like a move that a company who plans on Folding after its next event would make.

mOusasi is going to fight at LHW for the time being, so there are still great match ups for him in affliction.

Dan Lauzon is going to fight the polish Hammer, and that fight will be amazing. I can list you a legit and actually possible affliction 3 fight card that would be AS GOOD as the Best UFC fight card of the year if not better.

John’s Affliction 3 fight card:

Main Event: Fedor vs. Barnett

-Arlovski vs. Yvel (striking WAR!) or they can bring in a k-1 guy like LeBanner to fight Arlovski
-tim Sylvia vs. Buentello
-MOusasi vs. Rogerio NOgueira
-Tito vs. Babalu
-Dan Lauzon vs. Horedecki
-Din tHomas vs. Savant YOung
-Jay Heiron vs. Semtex (amazing fight that would be)
-Lindland vs. Jacre (who has said that he will soon make his affliction debut)
-vitor vs. TBA

How is this not a spectacular fight card? Every last one of these fights is actually a possibility. this site is supposed to be for MMA DieHards….I honestly do not get how anyone on this site can be rooting for Affliction to fail! All their cards have been very good. THey have provided us with numerous DREAM fights that the UFC could not deliver. THey brought us Fedor to America and matched him up against top UFC Champions. THey are a new promotion who’s shows drastically improved from the 1st show to their 2nd show, and they will only continue to get better and improve their product!

on a sad note, in the Dana interview, he said that he was not aware of a meeting scheduled for June between him and Camp Fedor, but Insisted that he is always willing to sit down with them and try to work something out!

john maybe that isn’t sad news that Dana doesn’t know about the meeting. Maybe Fedor is speaking with the Fertitas instead which I think would be a more reasonable discussion than Dana denying Fedor everything but a paycheck.

After the win over Sylvia, Dana started to backtrack on his statements. After Arlovski, he’s been naming Fedor as a top 5 heavyweight. Which is obviously an understatement on his part, but a big step in swallowing his massive pride. Give credit where credit is due.

I for one have been an Affliction fan from day one. I will continue to buy their fights and support any competitor to the UFC. I’m tried of seeing money take precedent over skill. Dana is changing MMA into a cash cow and the fighters and true fans are the ones who suffer. The perfect example of Dana’s greed will be if/when Rampage gets a title shot before Lyoto.

Dana nut huggers jump on board…

john i heard him say it on the bubba the love sponge show with jens pulver when he called in that fedor in the ufc probably will never happen.. even if the camps meet i don’t see fedor signing with the ufc

I like the fact everyone is upset that rampage may get a shot at Evans before Machida. What about Evans getting a shot before Page? Thats more about nut hugging that Page over Machida

Than page over Machida

All of these fighters are starting to findout it wasnt such a smart move signing with Affliction.

John, you fucker! Did it every occur to you that Dana doesn’t really think he’s a farce? If you are in his shoes and it’s your job to promote your organization and try to bring in the best talent, then it’s a decent idea to say “Fedor, your a farce. If you want to fight real competition, come to the UFC.” It’s a lot better than, “you are the greatest Fedor. I will pay you whatever you want and give you special contract considerations!” Dana is a better business man than you or I so I when something doesn’t quite make sense it’s more likely that he’s scheming than being a douchebag. I think Dana wants to see Fedor fight in the UFC as much as the rest of us fans.

You who punches ovaries, has it ever occurred to you that john knows Dana knows Fedor is no farce? The problem is Fedor has beaten many of the previous UFC title holders and even had two wins over Nog when he was the UFC title holder. Dana is talking out of his ass you your eating his shit for breakfast. If Attencio says that A Silva is not a top 5 MW fighter and is just a farce what would you say? Aw man he’s just promoting? No you would say that is a blatant lie and you should eat your words for disrespecting him as a top fighter. Dana is a promoter and not a fighter so until he puts his ass in the cage he should respect the people who do. He could have just said I don’t think Fedor had very good challenges in Pride and that he is surely proving himself in Affliction, I would like to see him come where the real challenges wait in the UFC, we are always here to extend an invitation. Instead he banked on Sylvia or Arlovski beating Fedor and he lost and now he has to eat his words. Besides who calls someone who is undefeated a farce unless its Kimbo?

John – did you see last episode of soup – watch it – it is really funny in the end (and you will understand why I have a big smug on my face when I read your statement about Dana contradicting himself):

http://vids.eonline.com/services/link/bcpid1396519019/bctid14255473001

Exactly Cogito, and thanks! Anger Jack…I love that show I will make sure to watch the latest episode

Wow john, I didn’t know your wife would get so defensive. Dana’s style has done very well to promote the UFC so I guess I don’t agree that he should be respectful of other fighters just because they are in the cage. Especially if Fedor’s managers are as nuts as Dana Claims. Dana’s not one for diplomacy…so what. Maybe he’s an asshole sometimes, but he’s not a douchebag.

And as for Attencio, If he made similar comments about A. Silva, I’d assume he had some agenda because that doesn’t make sense.

Not to mention, maybe Dana wasn’t sure about Fedor until recently. I wasn’t. I’m still not 100%. Sucks to be demoted to douchebag status for being wrong about one guy.

dana was sure, he was just talking smack.you i am sure wheren’t sure because you did not know better rookie.

Punch you: THanks for clarifying that Douche bag is greater than Asshole!

You’re welcome John. And Roy, I’ve called no fight wrond in 15 months. I fought for years and still train on occassion so I’m no Rookie. That’s why I pick fights right more often than most people on this site. Acutally fighting helps you Keyboard athlete.

I’m bored so I’m being more antagonistic than usual.

i’d rather him not be in the ufc at this point, he does to many other things outside of MMA that the ufc wouldnt allow him to do sign with strikeforce or a japanese promotion

Dude, that’s a litle bit disturbing.

I don’t wish any harm for Affliction but, I won’t feel like mma will be hurt by their absence.
Bottom line, I want to see Fedor fight. I want to see him lose, but I still want to see him fight. I recognize his dominance, which is why I want to see him lose. I do that with most fighters that have been on top for so long. I mostly seem to root for someone to knock them off.

Wow john. I like Couture but you have a sickness. Yuck!

sounds like atencio isn’t gonna keep overpaying his fighters for much longer

Daym John, “manly body”? You’re startin’ to turn all faggotty over Fyodor…And he ain’t King, Elvis is, hehe!

Ringer! what a very ignorant comment..calling barnett vs fedor wwe..and stating in the same sentence that ufc’S Champ is the legit…are u trying to confuse someone? or just fooling urself…

Exactly bud there are peaple that think this guys can beat that and that this guy…..the point is you can’t be the best unless you beat everyone otherwise there’s always. No doubt about it Fedor is one of the greatest fighters in the world but you can’t call him the best because there are to many that believe he wouldn’t be the champion in the UFC? You can believe he is the best and the other guy can believe Mir or Brock is the best? Who’s correct? It’s all he said said BS. The fact is the UFC is the most popular MMA organization in the world! That’s a fact!! I ask you this if your the champion of the UFC of the most watched MMA organization in the world does it really matter who thinks what? The UFC belt is the most popular belt in the world WAMMA can rank whoever they want #1 or 2 it’s not going to change that fact the UFC champion is known to most as the world champion. I think Brock would rip Fedor in two? Fedor is great but Brock is a monster that’s my opinion.

Did you become an MMA fan when Brock came over from the WWE?

hahaha! noneed4name just ignore him…lol…dont argue with a kid from wwe…because its pointless…just ask the regulars here..his name speaks for itself..

If you guy’s were aware of how good a wrestler Brock was you might have a point. Brock is one of the best wrestlers in MMA and probally the best HW wrestler. Imagine Barnett 20+ pounds heavier with a stand up!!! I know you are in deniel but it will all be over soon. Puck Head your 100% correct the only belt that matters is the UFC belt. You so called hardcore fan’s get lost we don’t need you die with your afflictions.

It would be one thing if Affliction or any other organization was putting on another card that night, but that is the only MMA on. Its far from a great card, but it IS a chance too see some of the top fighters in the world. That is what being an MMA fan is you know.

Oh wait, I can hear it now, you have better things to do that night. I am sure the Desperate Housewives marathon on that night is more intriguing.

If you have better things to do, then you are not a true MMA fan. There are some of us that love the sport so much that seeing it only once a much is not enough. I guess you are not among those, which is cool, just don’t kid yourself that you are a passionate fan.

Every one of you would watch this event if it was free, becuase if not, then you are no fan of MMA. So don’t tell me you are not too cheap unless you are willing to tell me you are not a real fan of MMA.

just like you hoping for affliction to fail?i never said i would not watch it, i said i would not pay for it and i won’t.you see i like all mma, not just ultimate fighting like yourself kid.

Use your brain, my point about all the fighters in 1 org has nothing to do with the UFC other than the UFC being the current likely candidate to be the final org standing. If affliction was leading the way and UFC was on the ropes, it would be the reverse and I would be hoping the UFC would be going down as fast as possible.

Its only you fools who can’t look beyond a single event that think multiple organizations is good for the fans in any way.

So you are going to watch it and not pay for now? And you are not cheap? lol. Way to show your true colors. Care to twist any of your words around again to justify what you said?

..and I could not care less about any organization. I care about watching fights and seeing the best fighters, something a true MMA fan desires, which I guess doesn’t matter to you.

no wonder you need no name? You know nothing about MMA. The reason the most MMA fan’s watch UFC is simple it’s better. I hate Affliction for the simple reason the fighters get more than the show how the F does that work please explaine Noneedforbrain! The fact is you can’t and if you would like to watch a bunch of BS have fun with the other seven thousand and shrinking mentally challenged fans. Brock would Destroy your paper champion Fedor..Deal with it.

I guess it was only a matter of time until the WWE fans infiltrated this thread.

Stop defending the F’n pussy WTF. If Fedor was any kind of MMA fighter you would not be defending the pussy? It showed Fedor’s earnings for the fight at half a million is that wrong WTF? Sounds like your trying to defend a lost cause anyway? The HW champion of the world is the champion of the UFC!! If you don’t like it watch some WWE or Affliction you mentally challenged MMA fans!! PS have fun talking to yourself.

WTF Affliction is lucky there’s wana be hardcore MMA fan’s like yourself. Have fun with a your afflictions.

Hey dumbass, read the 3rd post here posted by yours truly. Get your facts straight next time.

And maybe in the meantime, read the third comment in this thread.

I have no problem being a Fedor hater until he enters the UFC octagon I’ll continue being a hater. If he ever does enter I’ll change my tone.

We had a bet who could keep you going LOL and Puck won F6ck me! Your a real winner buddy. Make sure you get the last post in to show everyone how intelligent you are LOL

You two are real winners. I am sure you think you are impressing everyone, but other than me pointing out your absurdities, people stopped caring about what you were saying a while back, you just failed to recognize it.

I ain’t going anywhere, so keep posting and proving you are nothing but nonsense.

LOL!! this post was done long ago. your the only one we are trying to impress. You must be new I’ll help you out bud. usually a topic goes on for one to two day’s. Once a new blog is posted everyone gets there comments across and reads the other peaples comments and somtimes reply to them. After a couple day’s the blog is dead and no one reads them anymore. Please let me know if you need help with anything else bud.

hypocrite.
