MMA needed Fedor to Destroy Sylvia

[MB_722]

It's weird I haven't been watching mma for awhile. I lost interest in it because of UFC and TUF politics and poor cards.

I was interested in MMA way before it became mainstream, so I was never a TUF guy. I was interested in mma because of PRIDE and K-1. It's as if it's regressed for me.

MMA needed Fedor to do that yesterday. Glad he is back.

Exactly. UFC has been slowly killing it for me since they bought Pride. Not one worthwhile card, an exciting fight here or there, some of the best fighters not fighting for almost two years or so now. The best thing that could happen was the Affliction card being a success. No competition leads to shitty products, just like the ones the UFC has been trying to pass for for over a year now. The Affliction card was the first card that was entertaining the entire time.

Bisbing-Evans headliners? Please.

affliction card was full of bad matchups and very predictable. the least thing you want to see IMO.

as for the need of fedor to destroy sylvia, he's been submitted before - by nog, by arlovski and by frank mir.

if he would've been ko'ed that would've been something as that never happened before, but submitting him? not very sensational.

Bad matchups like every UFC card? It's cute watching you TUF fanboys trying to save face. Fact of the matter is that card was 10x more exciting as a whole than anything the UFC has put on since they bought Pride. Don't be upset, your fanboydom won't go to waste. UFC always makes a good #2.

i picked the outcome of 8 outta 9 fights. how does that make it exciting? that's a pretty boring predictable show.

Hahaha, you still haven't managed a 100% despite betting on every card. My God, you're pathetic.

I think the Affliction fights would have been at least more entertaining to watch. The UFC fights blew nuts last night. Especially since I was the one having to funnel some brew...... Yeah keep laughing Sin, I still took it like a champ.....

yeah i fucked up on Savant Young  vs Mark Hominick. my bad  (but im in pretty good company here, there's quite a few of us that hasnt got 100% that you attack as well with that comment)

but i notice you cant comment on the fact that it was a predictable and thus un-exciting show.

I can't help the fact that despite your claimed 20 years of cage fighting experience you still don't know shit about MMA on here. Sorry man. Keep trying every event, though. People come and go from the betting threads but you've been consistently terrible for over a year now.

They were very entertaining. Bluto is one of the two biggest UFC fanboys on here. He's been sitting at his desk contemplating whether or not he should down that entire bottle of sleeping pills he has in his hand. His life would be over if the UFC went back to being #2.

cant really compare the two though.

Sure you can. You and your retarded UFC fanboy buddies were claiming that the Affliction card was shit and the UFC card looked better on paper. In the end, anyone who knows anything about MMA saw the best card in years (which was to be expected) while you sat home and twiddled your thumbs over yet another terrible UFC card. Don't cry too hard TUF fanboy, Dana doesn't have you on his payroll. 

Why you so upset over the fact that you proved you know nothing about MMA again? We all knew that already Bluto.

#1 never claimed that.
#2 one of the cards is pay per view their big shot at arranging fights. the other was for free, quickly put together FIGHT NIGHT (not a real ufc card) which makes comparing the two pointless.
#3 card was unexciting and predictable because of the poor matchups as they continue to dodge the fights we really want to see (for example fedor vs barnett) and apparantely it wasnt sold out, had bad lightning, low audio, distant camera angles etc.

Go outside.

I thought the card was a great card for a first PPV. Affliction had more "headliners" then any of the UFC's in the last few years. Yea you are right the UFC card was thrown together at the last minute but lets not forget it was a deliberate attemp by Dana and the UFC to derail Afflictions first event. Another point is Fedor could have knocked Tim out. I watched the fight he knocked him down in the first 10 seconds of the fight then transitioned into a submission and made him submit in all of what 30 some seconds. Fedor could have ground and pounded Tim out if he wanted. Big Tim is a former UFC champ, although he is not one my favorite fighters, is a pretty tough guy. As far as production, sound, etc goes you really have to look at some of the early UFC's when you talk about horrible production. Jim Brown as color commentator come on.....

I mean lets not forget this is Afflictions first PPV event. As time goes on it will get better. Besides competition is good for everyone concerned. The fans benefit (better quality fights), the fighters benefit (higher pay) and the organizations benefit (competition will make them run organization more efficiently and effectively). I like the UFC events but after watching Affliction over the weekend I have to say I am starting to become a fan.

Put it this way lads. Next time Affliction throws down a PPV, I am definitely purchasing a showing. Berzerk is right, that Affliction fight sounded like one of the best MMA fights in a LONG time.

Im so happy that Fedor owned that clownshoe that calls himself a fighter. I hope its been such a crushing humbling defeat that he never steps back into a ring or a cage ever again after giving it Billy big bollocks before the fight.

Also UFC can go and get fucked too, they are a bunch of meglomaniacal cu*ts for not allowing Bravo show the Affliction PPV on the Sunday in the UK.

Wankers!!!

damn shame innit !

Shiiit.  What Fedor needed was for Fedor to destroy Sylvia.  His legacy was on the line, not the legitimacy of MMA.  What MMA really needed was for Thompson to knock Kimbo smooth the hell out to show what a farce he really is.  That was the guys sitting at home that think all you have to do is be able to brawl a little would get a lesson in what it takes to be a real fighter.
