lol dude your ruskie knockoff accents were funny. I think it was more fun that we were making fun of the Affliction event and their ****ty half time whatever you want to call it with megadeth.
I was pretty disapointed with the entire Affliction event actually. Had some pretty good names but not enough substance for me. We were actually watching more of the UFC event rather than Affliction. I am very excited to see that Randy says he'd like to fight Fedor after he settles all the legal junk with UFC.
Rather dissapointed that silvia was a limp dick, nogueira lost, oh and how much of a SUCKY commentator Big John McCarthy really is and should have stayed a ref in the UFC and just taught his school. Was kinda surprised to see Herb Dean reffing.

Yeah, I just assumed MMA was always PPV.
Here are some links I found to watch fights.
Arlovski vs. Rothwell

Tim Sylvia vs. Fedor Emelianko
Skip ahead to 5:00 for actual fight

Barnett vs. Rizzo
http://mmaimpact.com/2008/07/20/josh...ned-mma-video/

Well I think the reason people gave him a chance was because of his performance against Nog. I mean he almost beats Nog, and Nog went through 2 3 round wars with Fedor.
But again, MMA math is often incorrect right?

Wow, at the end of the Arlovski fight, blood is spattered onto one of the camera lens which was outside the ring during the fight, and then is walking around videotaping Rothwell--the first time I've noticed a fighter's blood on the video camera lens.

I think the Affliction event was pretty good. I'm sure a lot of MMA n00bs were unhappy with it b/c there weren't a lot of highlight reel kinda KO's or whatnot, but most of the fights were pretty competitive and good to watch. Watching MMA takes patience and an eye for technique, afterall
he telegraphed Irvin's kick, and while he held it, Irvin was left wide open and ate a direct punch right into the jaw.
If anybody saw that last fight on UFC Fight Night with the 2 welterweights Rory Markham vs Brodie Farber, I think that KO kick was better than Silva's KO punch, because that one kick, Markham knew it was over before the ref stopped the fight (Markham didn't bother to keep on attacking even though the ref didn't stop the fight until he got a look at the dood's face). The dood was unconscious and was all stiffened up.

No, I think UFC had exciting fights last night. Affliction had a lot of known fighters, but to me almost all the fights were lacking. I hope to see more in future performances. Reguardless I'm an MMA fan, and will order the next one. On another side note, Cotto vs Margarito next saturday haha
EDIT: I was flipping through both venues at the same time so I didn't watch both fully.
EDIT EDIT: Josh Barnetts victory celebration was HILARIOUS!
