    Affliction: Banned July 19, 2008



    Fight card:

    Fedor Emelianenko vs. Tim Sylvia
    Andrei Arlovski vs. Ben Rothwell
    Josh Barnett vs. Pedro Rizzo
    Matt Lindland vs. Fabio Negao
    Renato Sobral vs. Mike Whitehead
    Aleksander Emelianenko vs. Paul Buentello
    Antonio Rogerio Nogueria vs. Vernon White

    The fight card is longer but its too long
    here is the URL for the event
    Affliction Banned - July19th

    This looks like good fights... My predictions are:
    Emelianenko over Sylvia
    Arlovski over Rothwell
    Barnett over Rizzo
    Lindland over Negao
    Sobral over Whitehead
    Emelianenko over Buentello
    and for the underdog
    White over Nogueria

    What are your predictions?

    Looks like UFC's sloppy seconds...

    I do miss seeing Pedro Rizzo...that guy was a BEAST a few years ago...

    Predictions? I predict that not too many people will pay per this view...definitely looks better than the EliteXC garbage that was on CBS a while back though.

    It's a damn good card. I guess the UFC is putting on a card the same day to compete with Affliction.


    And I'll miss both because I'll be at a concert that day.

    Awesome card and the chance to see the great Fedor is worth it alone.

    Sylvia has got to be hands down the most boring fighter in the history of civilization to watch.

    I predict Fedor beats his ugly ass down.


    Thanks to Blackhole John for the sig!!

    I wouldn't say that Fedor is sloppy seconds......I hope he gets a (more than) convincing win over Tim Sylvia. Sure, many of the fighters on this card once fought in the UFC, but I think that's because of a number of reasons.......one being that there are a handful of fighters that feel mistreated by Zuffa, another being that the UFC felt they're not living up to the "Superbowl of MMA". Whatever the case, the competition is good.

    Yes, the UFC is having a card the same night....Anderson Silva is moving up to 205 to fight James Irvin. I think he walks around at that weight anyhow, or slightly heavier.......so we shouldn't see much of a difference in Silva at a heavier weight.

    Later.

    I agree Bill more and more fighters are seeking other venues, does not mean they are not good.

    I have dish network and have got some damn good fights on WEC. Not all of the good fighters are just in the UFC. If you limit yourself to just those venues you are missing a bunch of good fights by hungry kids trying to make it.
