Pay-per-view lineup: Fedor Emelianenko vs. Andrei Arlovski Josh Barnett vs. Gilbert Yvel Vitor Belfort vs. Matt Lindland Renato "Babalu" Sobral vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou Chris Horodecki vs. Dan Lauzon Paul Buentello vs. Kirill Sidelnikov HDNet Fights lineup: Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Vladimir Matyushenko Jay Hieron vs. Jason High Mark Hominick vs. L.C. Davis Albert Rios vs. Antonio Duarte Brett Cooper vs. Patrick Speight I'm a little disappointed that Buentello is on the main card while Lil' Nog vs. Vlady isn't. But I guess they can't all be great, huh? Still has some pretty decent fights on there.
where can this be viewed in the uk i believe that the banned event was on bravo for free, but i missed it cos i didnt know about it will day of reckoning be on bravo anyone?
recycled card.....i hope they sign more people...or not than affliction can dissolve and it's fighters can move to DREAM or UFC fedor ftw.
Such an amazing card, reminds me of a Shockwave, minus the freakshow match though. I hope Affliction stick around, they've already got some great fighters and theres a few free agents floating around from Pro Elite that they could sign. Damn, four cards like this a year plus the good things the UFC is doing plus Dream gaining popularity=a very healthy MMA scene!
I think Babalu is gonna get knocked out TKO'ed via GnP . . . . Soku has too much raw power/explosiveness IMHO.
Wish this promotion still had more promotion though. I think at least the Heavyweight matchups are waaay more meaningful to the sport than perhaps any other promotion right now. At least on par with the UFC if not slightly edging it out. More importantly than who wins the fights I hope this show makes a really good profit so that it can give great fighters snubbed by the UFC a home.
For anyone who missed the main event: http://www.myvideofight.com/video/affliction/fedor-emelianenko-vs-andrei-arlovski/index.html SPOILER Spoiler Well the emperor still reigns. He looked slow though. I think if AA had been more patient rather than trying to catch him with a flying knee he might of done alot better. He should have kept his distance and just outboxed him. Vitor Belfor had an awsome knockout. Lindland Yvel was quite boring. Lindland showed good jujitsu through the first round but the second and third was just him sitting on Yvel unable to really use effective ground and pound or submissions. I would really like to see a rematch with AA vs Fedor I think it ended to quickly.
