I just saw the funniest shit. I don’t know how to set up links so I’ll just say go to youtube type in FEDOR EMELIANENKO VS. RANDY COUTURE and it should be one of the first options. It starts with white text on a black background saying “…I respect Randy very much…” Watch and enjoy.

The CSAC ruined the K1 event in Los Angeles. The Affliction Match Maker will have nightmares with Armando UFC Garcia. Ever wonder why Pride never did an event in California.

This event will not go off in California. Armando UFC Garcia will see to that. Bad chose for Affliction to enter the corrupt fight arena. Millions down the drain for Affliction.

they are putting on a grEat card, but with all there top talent on one card is going to be the death of any other promotion they put on for the next year… so one supercard isnt going to solidify them as a competitor for the ufc, but great card nonetheless, I WILL BE WATCHING

if rothwells opponent is aa that would be iceing on the cake, and if people start complaining that they are not gonna watch it because of the ring wich i doubt any body that truly loves mma will care.

California MMA fans have a reputation for being late buyers of tickets so having them on-sale this late isn’t going to kill sales. Hopefully, the prices will be affordable.

Not a lot of time to sell tickets, but my wife ad I will be there. I prefer a cage of some sort, the constant restarting of the action and the hands pushing people isn’t something I liek to see, but oh well.

The whole cage vs ring thing is interesting. I have said before that I prefer the ring but to have a competition where they have diferent surfaces for different events would be cool (like Sam said in tennis… clay, grass and hard court etc). I guess for MMA it would be square roped ring, a bigger roped ring or “hex”, the octagon cage and a smaller round cage or something. It would sort of add to the home and away type thing.

Is it possible that Rothwell could be fighting AA?.

By: jason hughes

jason hughes — Sat, 10 May 2008 05:42:07 +0000

im sorry sam but if this is true iam not dissapointed at all, the ring cage thing makes no difference to me, actually prefer a ring, in my opinion it lends itself to more action and a little more stand up plus the roster looks great, almost every fighter on the card has been drafted in the mock draft so basically sound like theyve got some heavy hitters of the sport, and if fedor ends up fighting barnett that would be huge, as it would clear up some of those top ten heavyeight power rankings if it plays out that way, i guess overall it sound as bout as good as a card could be in the us that is not put on by the ufc, and to see it again free sounds like they really want to turn the casual fan on to this, fedor ,barnett ,rothwell on the same card, i cant wait and will be trying to turn as many people on to this as i can, just wish they had some better light/featherweight fights but im stoked so far.
