Watched the post fight interview with Silvia. He was very humble. I guess he had to be, he got hit by a tank. Did you see that left straight from Fedor!?!? I believe that was the punch that Silvia referenced as ‘being hit harder than he has ever been hit before’. MY head hurt when I saw that punch!

I have to agree with the doc here. I agree with probably most everything said in the article. Good piece actually. Did notice a slant though. Back handed compliment seemed like a correct analysis. Almost as if you were saying, ‘it was great, but it’s no UFC’. Production wise, it wasn’t UFC. They’ll get better. I think your writing and synopsis of the event was right on. Like you said, the production problems are nothing that couldn’t be fixed with experience. Enjoyed. Thanks.

Oh, and I will DEFINATELY either buy or go somewhere that has the NEXT AFFLICTION EVENT! They have some SERIOUS potential!!!

for there first show I thought it was good…..first things first, FIRE the commentators I don’t know how anyone else felt but it sure made me miss Rogan and Goldberg. Not only did the mispronounce names, the didn’t even know who Fedor fought last. Anyone catch when they said “competed in the US olympics”,come on. This is not a place for Frank Trigg to trash talk the competitors this is the time to upsell affliction not yourself.As far as megadeath is concerned I thought it was a welcomed change I would rather see or hear that than be forced to rewatch the same crap ufc has been shoving down your throat all week not to mention all their sponser commercials and previews. All in all it can only get better….. well we hope.

War Fedor.. the last emperor is raining down the destruction. I cant wait to see who he fights next.

It was great to see the good older fighters, though I was hoping for better fights. Arlovski looked great.

I did go to UFC to watch Anderson Silva’s domination over Irwin, but that was the only one I was itching to see.

Sylvia and Rothwell fought once before Rothwell moved to Iowa and joined MFS. They will never fight. MFS fighters training out of Champions gym in Bettendorf do not fight each other.

For all the haters (including u in this case Sam) Wah wah wah…

Megadeth was alright but I think they should have stuck in a fight before they played. Aside from that and the fact that Alex wasn’t able to compete it was pretty well done.

And the lineup for headliners for Affliction 2 is SIMPLE. Fedor vs Couture Arlovski vs Barnett Sylvia vs Rothwell (if Monte Cox allows it) If not they can find another fighter for each. But the clear cut first two are Fedor/Couture and Barnett/Arlovski with the winners facing each other. (which means Fedor vs winner of Barnett Arlovski)
