I guess if you want to watch various TUF’ers with mediocre records, undermatched fighters like Machida and Florian, and Liddell v. Jardine 19, it is a recycled card.
Arlovski v. Barnett is worth it alone.
Nate, again you offer yet another bass ackwards point and now you also attempt to denigrate my honor… Thanks buddy, now i can go to town on you…
WAMMA is nothing but a bunch of parasites trying to feast off of the UFC host. They don’t even recognize UFC champs..WTF? How the hell does Fedor fight donuts for 3 years and then he’s instantly in a title fight against a guy who is, at best, #5 in the world. When he wins, that makes him #5 with a bullet (now admittedly, he’s the best HW in the world, but dude, there are rules and he’s gotta take out one or two more of the guys above him and the others have to lose, that’s just the price you are gonna have to pay for taking the money and running for 3 friggin years). WAMMA themselves knows that they are illegitimate, and that have no real value and so instead of trying to do the right thing and find a way to work with the UFC, they go to a pathetic T-shirt company that feigns ‘fighter welafre’ as their bogus assertion and they offer up a paper title.
If WAMMA wants to do good for MMA they have much bigger issues to help and fix then offering bogus titles…
WAMMA are clowns who will soon have Tito fighting for a title and ‘The Law’ soon enough as well… they are jokers who have no integrity and want to jump on a bandwagon of somebody else’s blood sweat and tears. The UFC won, they bought out Pride took out all the rest and they and they alone possess all the undisputed belts…. If anybody wants one of them, let them come and get it, the honorable way, by fighting for it.
who will win barnett/arlovski. please answer. arlovski fedor is a fight ive been wanting to c for a long time. if u go to ufc 85 fight card forum u will c where i posted this fight.
Affliction needs to pick up Elite XC’s top notch guys…and gals. Cyborg, Carano, Lawler…hell put Kimbo on an undercard somewhere down the road…maybe? Hopefully Koscheck and Cain Velasquez bounce from the UFC because of their greed and arrogance over a video game of all things. Maybe they can sign with Affliction. Sign Ricardo Arona, Alistair Overeem, Fabricio Werdum, Kharitonov, and Cro Cop. In fact, I think Overeem and Cro Cop just moved their rematch from DREAM to another organization altogether. I don’t think they’re signed with anyone long term. What the hell are Mighty Mo and Semmy Shilt doing these days? Put some up and coming LHWs and MWs on an undercard. Develop their fighter roister. I like the Matsyshenko signing.
Next PPV needs to have:
Fedor vs. Arlovski/Barnett
Paul Buentello vs. Aleksander Emelienenko
Gina Carano vs. Sacrificial Lamb
Cris Cyborg vs Sacrificial Lamb
Tito Ortiz vs. Matsyushenko/Nogueira
Overeem vs. Ricardo Arona
Somebody Else vs. Who Cares
Now that would be a pretty interesting card. Tap into the little following that Elite XC developed. Get the the stars that are just floating from one organization to another. And if it’s true that Golden Boy wants to put elite boxing matches on these cards, then just im,agine the possibilities!
