Damn. I had just learned of the Fedor/Arlovski fight, yesterday. I really wanted to see just how well Arlovski stacked up against the top of the heap. This should also be a great place to prove himself.

Too bad. No Sambo v Sambo.

Man, I really wanted to see the pitbull duke it out with fedor. I knew arlovsky was going to be the one to dethrone fedor.I guess the mma higher beings didn’t want this to happen and instead caused fedor to “break” his hand. I still got the pitbull on this one, although, I really wanted to see Big tim go at it with barnett. Now, perhaps we’ll see ben, rizzo, or the headhunter get a piece of big tim. Although, it would be sweet for big tim to get his revenge on fedors sibling. Pehaps down the road we’ll get to see tim vs arlovsky 4. War Big Tim, and the PITBULL. GRRRRR!!!

(Fedor v Arlovski) – Shiiit -I was really looking forward to seeing this fight!

: (

(Arlovski Vs Barnett) – Well It’s still going to be a good fight, just not as anticipated!

Hey I know Affliction will still pull out an amazing card, if there last event was anything to go by it’s going to be AWESOME!

sorta glad it turned out this way… not about Fedor injurin his hand.. but would rather see Barnett and Arlovski square off to see who should catch a beat down from Fedor first.

Affliction is putting up some good fights. Dana better watch out.

dana white’s gotta be dissapointed. i wonder if nog is going to come over after his contract.. i bet he will, or he’ll go to dream heavyweight

yaowong Says, in 8-4-2008 at 19:04:44 from 65.94.91.238

bah its mostly the same fighters on the previous just they are switching opponents..

Mefninja Says, in 8-4-2008 at 19:20:11 from 74.15.90.47

really wanted to see fedor vs arlovski… id pay money for that

JEF Says, in 8-4-2008 at 19:36:45 from 99.236.249.147

lol I’m half glad I don’t have to see my 2 favourite fighters knock eachother out but it would have been a classic

rawr Says, in 8-4-2008 at 19:55:48 from 76.254.112.71

I don’t care if its same fighters, as long as we get constant good matchups. UFC recycles too man, it’s just spread out that’s why you don’t notice. And at least here there are always a bunch of top 10 guys trying to knock eachother off. The UFC reuses GSP and Silva alot. GSP vs Hughes 3 times, vs. Serra twice. Silva vs Franklin twice, Okami is going to get another shot again at Silva. So all companies recycle fighters, but at least Affliction is constantly giving us competitors in the top 10 trying to get to #1 status. UFC has like 1-2 good fights and the rest are undercards where they pay their fighters like $2,000.

pinga r u kidn?? great fight. i say arlovski is better on the feet n barnett on the ground but neither by a great margin so itll be a nice war.i think fedor outclasses both guys in all areas so this is better

GuessWho Says, in 8-4-2008 at 21:38:15 from 76.64.117.48

whatever Affliction is gonna have absolutely no options after next fight unless they sign a bunch of ppl.. they have no depth at all

Frank castle Says, in 8-4-2008 at 23:59:17 from 201.50.18.232

man who is this guy tba he will really can fight with Renato “Babalu” Sobral, Tim Sylvia, Pedro Rizzo and Aleksander Emelianenko in the same night?

rawr Says, in 8-5-2008 at 02:54:54 from 76.254.112.71

Um I hope you’re being sarcastic… TBA means to be announced. Or it could be some new super MMA fighter named TBA, O_O

GuessWho Says, in 8-5-2008 at 03:06:01 from 76.64.117.48

UFC has 1 or 2 good fighters? UFC has more good fighters than Affliction.. look at the rankings dude.. and if ya notice the reason ufc “recycles” is cuz when someone wants a chance after they lose the belt.. they get a rematch…

and recycling fighters the very next show? thats weak… you can say what ever ya want but this is fact.. and 2 grand a fighter? LOL wow I dunno where your getting your information

Zescape Says, in 8-5-2008 at 03:28:50 from 24.127.133.5

After Arlovsky knocks Barnett out, he’s gonna look down and say, “How’s taste my big pee-pee?”

Man, I hope it’s Tito vs. Babalu.

Big Tim vs Aleksander anyone? War of GIANTS!!!

cfredz Says, in 8-5-2008 at 04:29:36 from 201.64.249.11

This guy is going to fight with many strong guys… hahaha

unoe c. yetecinko Says, in 8-5-2008 at 06:53:16 from 24.24.217.123

i’d like to see tim sylvia get rocked by BOTH emelianenko brothers in succession… that would have made this card even better.

MMAGiantSilva Says, in 8-5-2008 at 09:05:30 from 71.76.239.218

I can see why this is the main event.

It looks like all you Arlovski fan boy’s are going to have to wait for another title shot cuz Barnett is gonna face Fedor in the PPV after this one.

The main event is obviously a #1 contender match up.

8-0 & 3 Says, in 8-5-2008 at 13:07:59 from 67.188.248.105

i bet the hulk could beat ironman… but i heard the hulk is still in contract with dream. he wouldnt make weight anyway.
fedor is ducking him.

rawr Says, in 8-5-2008 at 18:57:38 from 76.254.112.71

Wow Guesswho, thank you for proving how much of an idiot you are. I said good fights not fighters. And at UFC FN 14, most of the undercard got payed 3,000. I get my sources from Yahoo.

rawr Says, in 8-5-2008 at 19:00:22 from 76.254.112.71

And how is your opinion of “weak” a fact? Your opinion of whats weak and not is not a fact, it is your personal opinion only. Nothing you type is even believable after proving how much a of a moron you are… And go look online, MMAJunkie, Yahoo, MMAWeekly, etc. shows the paydays of UFC FN 14. Most undercard fighters usually don’t even break the 10k mark. At UFC FN 14 it was the worst I’ve seen lately for UFC fighters, 3k-4k each.

R3X Says, in 8-6-2008 at 17:43:09 from 69.224.33.25

Affliction rocks! I believe Josh will end up submitting wolf boy, but anything could happen if they stay on their feet.

WOOLSLAYER Says, in 8-8-2008 at 00:47:06 from 70.250.209.3

If anyone can take out Fedor, its Barnett. He is probably the most underrated fighter around IMHO, the dude is an absolute beast. The baby faced assassin is tough as nails, I don’t see him getting knocked out by Arlovski. Can’t wait to see Barnett v. Fedor, gonna be amazing….

BIOHAZARD321 Says, in 8-28-2008 at 14:18:09 from 213.145.123.131

Anderson silva, rampage jackson,nogueira,henderson,herring, and more is PRIDE FC FIGHTERS PRIDE>UFC !

dmitri276 Says, in 9-20-2008 at 14:46:19 from 75.74.194.211

I can’t see Barnett beating Fedor. Barnett has lost like 3 times to Nogueira, and the way Fedor has schooled Nogueira shows me that he’s on a different level than Barnett. Orlovsky beating Barnett could be a nice intro before moving on to challenge the best.
