cant wait to see silva vs the sandman. i predict silva will walk through irvin with no problem
Agreed with ABOVE statement. I’m all about “THE SPIDER!”
Twil be an awesome day for us fans
I am sure Silva will beat them all.. excited to watch them in action
i think the match will be interesting, but in the last Silva will have upper hand (may be
) Enjoy weekend !!!
Its going to be good..beer at ready
Not much of a MMA fan but I am glad that they are starting to put it on “Free” TV.
To be honest, the only match I’m really looking forward to on the UFC card is Hermes and Edgar.. So I’ll have to tune away from Affliction for that one and then return
That’s so cool, sounds it will rock tonight, exciting, hein!
Great idea to put the prelims on free TV. It will be interesting to see how much this increases the PPV viewership.
No listing of you favorites and bets??
I’m just getting into all this stuff. Impressive!
Aleksander Emelianenko is out shoe… Didn’t meet med requirements Goodridge is replacing him.

Affliction could be a huge move forward for the sport. Loosens UFC’s grip on mainstream MMA.
Tim Sylvia for the win. The Miletich camp is tough.
going to be some hurtin’ going on tonight. what a great card.
Awesome, this is just another step for mixed martial arts becoming mainstream.
Nice to see you passing all the linkjuice from your site onto fighters. lol
not excited about this at all…anyway, I’m sure that for MMA fans is going to be an interesting night.
Should be a great night. I am going to opt for the free event since UFC seems to have a great card as well so no sense spending money. I think both events should be good ones, will be good to see fedor back at it, hopefully him and couture can get something worked out to fight, now that I would pay for. Great to see the fighters.com up and running will be making an account soon.
whoa, it is a big night…i’ll surely catch a few of them tonight too.
Not making any picks on tonights card Jeremy?
Very exciting roundup tonight. Ill be at my local bar watching both fights
!
I have absolutely no idea what you guys are talking about :S
Nice to see Fedor fighting again
Fedor will p0wn Sylvia
Shoemoney do you know when the next Kimbo Slice Fight?
Awesome fight card. I’m looking forward to all of it most especially the Brandon Vera fight.
Fedor p0wned Sylvia even faster than I thought.
Fedor Emelianenko the best. It is a great fighter.
Fights were awesome! Silva STUCK Irvin – did you see the cut under his eye?
Seth Daley
Genewize
I think it’s great they’re showing these fights on regular (not ppv) tv now…
A lot of those fights were good – that cut was UGLY. I really enjoyed the K.O. from Markham.
Pretty boring ass fight though, eh?
How ’bout Andersdon?
Ele e o lutador o meior de tudo mundo. E muito legal e muito gentil. Nao se porque os Americanos nao gostam dele.
What is up with Silvia? I know Fedor is awesome, but come on. Dude didn’t even last 45 seconds! Which is about 40 longer than I would.
Sylvia sorry for the typo.
Thanks, my son is really looking forward to this!
So how did your predictions pan out? Living in Africa has its advantages, but viewing UFC bouts ain’t one of them!
Let’s face it folks, the days of boxing are running out. Now what we need to do is to get amateur status for MMA, so the sport can be incorporated into the Olympics, etc. This will serve as a great feeder system for the Pro ranks.
The great thing about MMA and UFC is that nothing is a guarantee.
So the Syper kill that other guy.
Wish i lived in the States and was able to follow MMA. It sure is exciting, but not enough is being done to promote it internationally.
Now only if we could watch it in the rest of the world
I can watch MMA over satellite. I really like it.
hope it lived up to expectations.
Вообще, откровенно говоря, комментарии тут гораздо любопытней самих постов. (Не в обиду автору, конечно
