Hard to be to upset with Affliction when he reportedly came away with $45,000 for a his minute-long effort. Yeah, it was unfortunate and probably somewhat unprofessional, but he dealt with it the best way he could–by going out and taking it out on his opponent.

I felt bad for Jay…but something tells me he will not get bumped again. Last time I checked, the UFC had a tendency to not include certain fighters in their PPV, well hello Jon Fitch and Mr. Arlovski.
So let us not throw the first stone, take off your UFC hat and turn off the WWE ok.

I didn’t see the fight, I don’t know if it aired after the Fedor fight or what but I didn’t stick around to find out.

But I was picking Jason High to win that fight, largely because of his previous quality wins over Kevin Burns and James Giboo, but also bexause I didn’t give Hieron much credit for the guys he’s beaten. So I stand corrected, and will definitely acknowledge Jay to be one of the better welterweights out there.

Too bad to hear about his post-fight antics though, I never like to see an unconcious guy get smacked again. Until I see it though I will reserve judgement, a lot of times that stuff is as much on the ref as anyone else.

It was a nice knockout, until Heiron knocked the crap out of an already unconcious JAson High. Then the celebrating he did after, with only about 1,000 peopel spread out in the building? Please Jay, it wasn’t even aired. Act like you been there before…

Hey guys,
Let’s not jump down Affliction’s throat just yet. I’ve been to many MMA events that had schedule changes very close to show time, INCLUDING THE UFC. It’s common for fights to get bumped/moved for time restraints. This isn’t exclusive to Affliction, so let’s not paint them out to be the bad guy here.

There’s many other valid reasons to paint Affliction as the bad guy!

Mikejj & 45 Huddle. Something tells me Jay was still paid the same $$ for his effort. Unless either of you has indepth knowledge of the business of running a PPV or fight promotion I’d say you making some strong assumptions.

They should have shown his fight live on the PPV. They had enough time to do so.

What Affliction di to Jay Hieron is extremely unprofessional. It sounded like he didn’t even know he was a swing bout.

Fighting for a shady promotion that only has one or two cards a year and than all of the sudden you might end up with no chance to fight at all…

That sux. Make Affliction go away….
