It should be a good fight.

(WAY off topic!)
I’ve been out of the loop for a long time, but I used to train a bit with Tim and Ben. Does Ben not fight on the Silverbacks IFL team anymore? I don’t even know if the IFL is still running[/quote]

Fair enough. Sounds like Ben is signed to Adrenaline MMA
Fedor will win by one of his many methods of murder.

I think they are pretty gay. Now you got every wannabe tough guy sporting an Affliction shirt. Hell, one of my buddies who has seen all of 3 UFC PPVs was wearing a “One More Round” shirt the last time I saw him. I just shook my head.
Just heard last night, the undercard of this show will air for free on the Fight Network (I think live).
Not sure if people in the US can get it or if it’s just Canada. Also the colour commentating will be “Big” John McCarthy and the announcing will be done by what’s his name, the guy from the Fight Network that used to do the Pride shows with Bas and did the CBS broadcast for EliteXC.
Side Note - Proof that MMA is dominated by the UFC, this thread was at the bottom of the second page while the Silva/Irvin thread was near the top of page one! We suck!
In the US, I believe the undercard is being shown for free on Fox (or Fox Sports?).
Mauro Ranallo is the guy you’re thinking of.

Every time someone says “Vitor comback” or “Old Vitor” an angel loses it wings and falls into hell.

So your saying he’s so good, he can even beat angels!
They’re advertising the Affliction show in my gym of all places. (I go to a Gold’s Gym). They had a poster, a cardboard standup thing about a foot high on the front counter, and a stack of little glossy black cards, a little bigger than business cards, that all had essentially the same picture/info on them: a picture of Fedor and Tim’s faces, it said “Fedor vs. Sylvia” and had all the pertinent info on it. Interesting that they’re promoting it like that.
Has anyone seen any other ads or promos for it?

No, and I haven’t heard anyone outside of forum hard cores talk about it, which is why I think it is going to bomb.
You could be right, unfortunately. They SHOULD have TV ads all over the place, banner ads on ESPN.com . . . that kind of thing. Hmmmm.

I thought that once Trump got involved it would pick up more headlines. Let’s just hope they delivery a great show.

Affliction must’ve done some kind of deal with Gold’s because my gym has the advertising too. Not quite the same amount as your gym apparently, but they do have some ads up.

Yeah I’m in too. Even my wife is excited about watching Fedor deliver some hate.
Fedor is the best fighter in the world, bar none.

He WAS the best fighter in the world, oh say, 2 years ago, but hasn’t really done anything to prove so lately with guys like Anderson Silva and Rampage bumping off the the best guys in their division in dominating fashion. This will go a long way towards reigniting that discussion.
