Affliction: Banned.

Perhaps the best MMA card for the past 3 years is coming to US. No. Not perhaps. Definitely.
Words can not describe how stacked this card is. There is hardly a match there that leaves me indifferent:

Bouts Scheduled to Air on Pay-Per-View:
-Fedor Emelianenko vs. Tim Sylvia
-Josh Barnett vs. Pedro Rizzo
-Andre Arlovski vs. Ben Rothwell
-Matt Lindland vs. Fabio Negao
-Renato "Babalu" Sobral vs. Mike Whitehead

Bouts Scheduled to Air on Fox Sports Net:
-Aleksander Emelianenko vs. Paul Buentello
-Vitor Belfort vs. Terry Martin

Preliminary Bouts:
-Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Edwin Dewees
-Trenell "Savant" Young vs. Mark Hominick
-Justin Levens vs. Patrick Speight
-Mike Pyle vs. J.J. Ambrose

The headliner signifies Fedor's first top-10 heavyweight opponent in over 3 years now, and is the final chapter in the face off between UFC and Pride fans.

In a futile(!!!) attempt to stall competition Dana quickly assembled a free UFC show, with A.Silva as the headliner moving to LHW to fight The Sandman. As exciting as it is, the rest of the card looks even more boring then the usual boring cards. And if you want to watch that, in octagon with Cicil peoples as the judge, well then you must find documentaries about turtle migrations on discovery channel entertaining.

July 19th, 9PM Eastern, dont miss it!))

this card really is sick, can't wait for the Fedor fight

how you guys watch on the internetzzzzzzzzz? if it's against LP policies to post it here, pls PM or msn me:

jens_engstfeld(at)hotmail.com

yeah i've been waiting for this card since i first read about it. just a few days now!!!!!!!!!

Seems to be a sweet card. Feel bad for Tim though, hes gonna get his head smashed to pieces...

If anyone wants Fedor to finally be beaten just ask pinball to put a wager on him.

they probably mean after the fight where it'll be uploaded to a million different websites within an hour

LOL

this is by far the sickest fight card since I started watching MMA, kinda sucks that I'm probably going to miss the anderson silva fight. gotta make sacrifices :/

take those polls and shove it.

lol so true

fedor defies logic

if Fedor loses I will stop visiting mma-related websites. FA says he might even stop using the internet for a while hahaha

GO FEDOR!

I am the walrus

Thank god my buddy has a PVR. Six hours of fights in one night, wheeee!

bump, just an hour left!
Any non-american/canadian/british who wanna watch it online pm meh^^

no Aleksander ;/

i bet on whitehead, arlovski, cb dolloway, burns, hermes franca and whoever is fighting against vera lol
hopefully im not a fish like always!

any streams online to watch this? they dont have ppv at the hotel im at and i dont feel like leaving the room and finding a place showing it

http://www.channelsurfing.net/ is streaming both affliction and ufc

very exciting card and event. Get to see Fedor in action! What a great time to be watching mma.

I think you will lose money on whitehead franca and reese andy

starts in 20 mins rite?

more like 3 mins

this will be awesome. watching ufc on my tv and hopefully I can get the affiction banned card stream working.

the channelsurfing stream is flickering pretty bad

try the second one link, it is actually pretty good. I just watched the ambrose/pyle fight. No lag so far.

omg the stream commentary is like spanish or something. WTF.

the sound keeps going from high and low and now its not even in english anymore?

Micheal Buffer vs Bruce Buffer tonight. I wonder who is going to win?
Also I saw Randy Couture and Antonio Nogeiura on the affliction show cornering their fighters so far.

justin.tv/narlytime has a pretty good stream, but sopcast channel 24267 is perfect and hasn't buffered once yet

edit: whoops, wrong thread. HAHA.

the Lindland/negao fight is ok so far. Is it me or does the affliction ring look as big as the octagon?

Jay Glazer sucks as an announcer imo. Please stick to your short appearances dishing out football gossip.

lindland got in trouble for a second if he doesnt go for the clinch he was going to be KOd

come on whitehead. fuck sobral up

well babalu takes that i'm sure

lol
The Undertaker from WWE fame was front and center at the affliction card. That's awesome!

OH SHIT THIS IS TONIGHT
WTF AM I DOING WATCHING UFC FIGHT NIGHT?

my 3 underdogs :O

i think its likely reese andy loses but franca has a pretty good shot

Uhhhhh did they even broadcast the Arloski/Rothwell right? They are showing Barnett/Rizzo right now.

no arlovski is next...and btw how sweet are barnett's shorts.

yah you're right. I was following the first post for the order of the fights, hence the confusion. Barnett landed a sweet KO shot on Rizzo.

damn arlovski's kicks are brutal

I dont know what odds you got, but I don't like the Franca bet at all

Arlovski is a beast, looking forward to the 3rd

WHAT A FUCKING FIGHT!!!!

Awesome combinations by Arlovski at the end of the second round! HUGE KNEE!

GOODBYE

blood splatter on the camera. dude was getting pummeled

That part was pretty sick. Rothwell just got finished so badly.

Here we go! Main event of the evening! I just hope for a good fight.

Holy shit the stream is dying at the worst possible time. Screw you Megadeth.

yeah mine is going out too....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. i bet it's cause now a bunch of people who only care about Main Event are tuning in

Stream is completely dead now. Man how disappointing.

go to www.justin.tv/narlytime

that's my backup stream

Small life line! The other link on the website is working for me!

OMFG, FEDOR is the sickest man alive!!

Fedor is pulling a Randy Couture early on and IT"S FUCING OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SICK SICK OPENING COMBINATION. MAKES IT SEEM SO EASY11111!!!

wow i don't know what to say

I am still in shock that he won that fast. His first explosion just caught Sylvia off-guard just like what couture did and jumped on his the back the minute Sylvia gave it up.

What a badass.

Silva vs Fedor plox!

called out couture...it's gonna happen now

fyi when they asked him who hed like to fight next he said "i respect randy couture but to tell you the truth" and was about to name another fighter when they interrupted him.
Assholes

well yeah I guess they twisted his words a bit but who do you think he really wants to fight? Barnett? Arlovski? Nog again?

Fedor vs Silvia summary:

LOL Baal. That is a pretty good summary.

oh my god what the fuck fedor total domination wow.. id love to see arlovsky vs fedor but i honestly dont know who can beat this guy

randy would get totally destroyed against fedor that fight has more with the money and legend vs legend then their current shapes

they didnt twist it just the crowd blew up and didnt let him finish his sentence. And i guess the translator knew that the name that has to be said is Randy Couture.
personally i would think he wants nog again

except for patrik antonious, i've never seen so much homolust for one man (fedor)

i need a video of the fight i missed it!

http://www.mmashare.com/ there

and also anderson silva was a badass tonite....catching a kick and then coming straight at him with a right!

I'm very happy and relieved. It would suck not to visit mma forums for a while if Fedor had lost hahaha

Sherdog forums have exploded.

two of the top 3 pound for pound fighters fought tonight and they showed everyone who the fuck they are, the next one fights aug 9 but his fight's is a bit harder

Very good production value by affliction loved the show from start to finish, just wish Aleksander would have gotten his licensing done v_v

Hopefully they Match up Fedor vs AA or Barnett in their next show.

Barnett's style would get absolutely destroyed by fedor imo Arlovsky would be a better match.

I want to see Fedor v Arlovski more than Fedor v Couture

arlovsky was moving so well i really didnt expect it, especially after so much inactiveness and dont forget hes a heavyweight.. that flying knee was sick ARLO FIGHTING~

i want to see Fedor vs Coture only so people see what a huge ass rape the fight is.

thanks a lot baal

best card ever? not even close. hopefully this was just to set up the next card with arvloski vs fedor or barnett etc..

im completly shocked how easily fedor dismantled timmah though. thought itd be close.

ufc 87 is a pretty nice card, cant wait to watch huerta vs florian and gsp vs fitch
the kenny florian and roger huerta fight is going to be so crazy
