Loving that Setanta are going back through each series of The Ultimate Fighter, I only watched series 2 and 3 in the first place.

Alecksander Emilianenko is out of the fight tomm

Is anyone really gonna spend money on the Affliction PPV??

I know they have a great card but why spend money on it, when Anderson Silva, one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world, is fighting for free..

He is fighting for free, because he is as close to a dead cert to win as possible in MMA. Sylvia/Fedor will be way more competative. Plus, as you said, it's a great card. I actually am eager to watch pretty much every fight.

Although, I will have to download it, since it's not being shown here live, I would have paid for it, and watch Silva maul Irvin online at some point tomorrow.


I bet the fucker loses now.

this post makes you sound like an idiot

No he's fighting for free cause James Irvin is gunna be paid to go down.

What the hell happened with Bravo not showing the Affliction show?

Gotta be UFC interference here.

prolly

How many chances will CB Dolloway have, seriously.

This will be his last. I'm only watching an hour before going to bed.

The Affliction show looks so bush league too. The ring is fucking HUGE! 30x30ft. I only wanna see Big Timmy KO the Russian :D

Very nice submission by Dolloway

Horrific illegal knee though. No excuse for not docking a point.

Shame I wanted JT to win.
Where you watching the Affliction show ROB?

Was watching online but the stream was pissing me off.

This link is slow.

Kevin Boo-urns should win this fight. Mazzagatti is a total bitch if he doesn't.

lol Finger poke to the eye.

huh how did Burns win?

No idea, why do you think Burns should win Rob?

Mazzagatti didn't see the poke to the eye. He let it go when Johnson was on the floor so Burns attacked him and he stopped the fight. He had to call it a TKO win.

And the commissions can't do shit either. This is what happens in the fight game.

Johnson took the loss like a man though.

Teah, fair play to Johnson.

Jake O'Brian got MULLERED!

Dominated :)

The Babalu fight sucked a dick. This Edgar vs. Franca fight is good though.

I want to go on holiday with Rampage and Vera

Owned in 36 seconds. What is Don Johnson doing there?

Guys, I'm not doing too good. Check it out:



White breaks silence on Quinton Jackson
By Steve Cofield

http://f3.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sports...3Avt_Cm5Uxb8P9

We finally tracked down UFC president Dana White for an update on Rampage Jackson's condition. There's still much that is unknown and doctors are far from an official diagnosis. White told Yahoo! Sports that Jackson was initially going to stay in care for 72 hours but that has now been extended.

"I think it's going to be a while before we get him back. I'm talking as a friend. It's a sensitive issue. Rampage, the UFC fighter, who cares about that. We're concerned about Rampage, the human being. What matters is his personal life."

White also talked about some strange circumstances that led up to Jackson's episode Tuesday.

"He was up for four days and he was doing some crazy fasting thing. He was up for four days, drinking water and energy drinks, that was it. It's not good.

White said he knew as soon as he arrived in Southern California on Tuesday night that something was seriously wrong with Jackson.

"Rampage doesn't do drugs. Rampage really doesn't even drink. This whole thing made no sense to me. (Then) when I got there it made a lot of sense."

It sounds like the stress of stardom took its toll on Jackson before and after the Forrest Griffin fight.

"As this thing continues to grow and people will get more famous," said White. "Fame isn't easy to deal with. Harder for all the fighter are all the cling-ons. I can't police every fighter. As soon as something goes wrong I'm there and I'll help them."

This will serve as a test case, much like the Chuck Liddell ordeal in 2007. Liddell appeared on a Dallas television morning show and appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Liddell was dozing off on live television. It turned out that Liddell's handlers allowed him to appear on television under the influence of the sleeping aid Lunesta and cold medicine Nyquil.

It's becoming more obvious UFC needs to educate its fighters and their management teams on crisis management. Other sports have huge support staffs to help their athletes with the media and life management. It doesn't always work as exhibited by the 60+ run-ins with police this offseason amongst NFL players. It certainly couldn't hurt UFC fighters. There are simply too many opportunities now for fighters to get overwhelmed by fame and money.

Anthony Johnson should've won that fight.. Def a class act though..

Silva is the man..

Mad disappointed in Vera..

Who won the Affliction shit?? Oh and Reav, I knew that shit would be bush-league compared to UFC..

NICE

Good thing he isn't paid by the hour...

What are you talking about?

Granted, Silva wasn't as short as Fedor/Sylvia... But having watched both shows, since, if you cut out the between fight bits, UFC lasted about an hour tops.. Banned was a wayyyyyyy better show. And everybody, but you of course, seemed to know it before hand anyway.

And you didn't go and meet Jake the Snake. All for 1 minutes of inevitability.

You are not a wise man.

White obviously didn't Rampage was going to the oppositions show.

Man Fedor just fucking raped Sylvia too. Big Timmy left the UFC for that? Sucks to be him.

Sorry the Affliction show was no way better. Aside from the 36 second rape, the fights sucked. Total bush league show.

Bollocks. Arlovski/Rothwell was a good fight. Linland was pretty poor, but Barnett/Rizzo was a better watch than the Vera fight for sure, Belfort looked solid..... The undercard of UFN was weak as anything I've seen in International MMA in the last few years.

I think Rob tried to touch on this, but he forgot to type in english.


Did anyone notice Rampage on one of the Affliction commercials? What was that about?
