Fedor Emelianenko -800
Vitor Belfort +500

I wonder if Tito was approached and how fast he ran from the offer? Heck Tito is a huge 205 who would prolly look just as big as Fedor. He could prolly get enuf in that one fight to last a lifetime and tickets would sell. Fuk i would take the chance if i was him just because he might get three years worth of a salary.

Now this clown Bisping is pushing it because he got knocked senseless and now thinks it was a fluke. I know Wandy got knocked out by Rampage but Rampage hits like a mule. No way Bisping can knock out Wvandy. Give me Wandy for the max.

Bisping vs Wanderlei @ 105!!!
EXCLUSIVE: UFC 105 - Michael Bisping set to take on Wanderlei Silva

****** can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that the main event is all set for the UFC?s next visit to the UK on November 14th as Wolfslair trained middleweight, Michael ?The Count? Bisping will take on Brazilian MMA legend, Wanderlei Silva in Manchester, England.

News of the fight was passed along to ****** by a source at the Wand Fight Team in Las Vegas, Nevada who revealed that the Brazilian would be putting pen to paper very soon after returning from receiving the key to the city in Pensacola, Florida. It will be the first fight of his career to be competed at 185 pounds.

He will be taking on UK star, Michael Bisping who has a point to prove after getting knocked out in his last bout against Dan Henderson. The fight will take place as close to the Brit?s home town as you can get with Manchester?s M.E.N. Arena located just a stones throw away from the Widnes based Wolfslair MMA Academy where he trains.

The fight will be massively important to both men after suffering recent losses inside the octagon. As previously mentioned, Bisping was knocked out for the first time in his career earlier this month at UFC 100 in Las Vegas. Just weeks before Silva lost at UFC 99 in Germany to Rich Franklin, his fifth defeat in his last six fights, making this fight pivotal to both men.

Looks like Barnett got popped for Masteron. He's a freaking idiot, if you're an athlete at this level you should know how long it stays in your system.

If you believe Jeff Monson which I rarely do. He is claiming that he is in some sort of negotiations to be Barnett replacement.

Finally.......Affliction is done....I said 1 year ago they'd never reach 6 shows, well guess 2 is the number:mj07:


Now StrikeForce, Sengoku, DREAM and UFC can get better. Although DREAM is in a little trouble so they may be next to go. Affliction deserved to die, some of the decisions they made were beyond moronic, see ya Affliction, you will not be missed. Bash Dana all you want, but the UFC knows what they are doing. StrikeForce and Sengoku also seem to know what they are doing.

Also, maybe now that disgrace to MMA Fedor can actually fight the best, gee what a concept. Bring on Randy, bring on Dos Santos, bring on Brock, bring on Cain. Of course the scumbag Fedor will most likely fight Hong Mon Choi again in Japan for a bunch of money:nono:

That sucks they couldnt find a replacement. I am a fan of competition between organizations but Affliction is doomed with the shortage of fighters. I still want to see Couture/Fedor, evne though the world is stuck on him fighting Brock

I always like Barnett but he ought to be banned from the sport. What a mess he caused with this same shit he pulled before. I was really looking forward to this card and now nothing uggh. I can't blame Dana for tying up his fighters but it would have been nice to fill this spot with anyone from the UFC. I bet their would have been a line 5 or ten deep to fight fedor. I think this is what Fedor talks about with the fighters in the UFC who are basically slaves to Dana.

Agree with Sponge, when you fight for an organization that is very very thin, don't get caught for Roids. Can't put everything on him for causing Affliction's demise but man oh man he screwed a lot of fighters big time cash because of what he did. Affliction itself is to blame for their moronic decisions but Josh really fucked a bunch of fighters over.


As for Nick Diaz, I hope he never fights again, the guy is beyond scum and a disgrace to humanity.

Damn, that Strikeforce card is getting hurt. It was looking like a really exciting card, I think it still will be but when you lose Diaz and Overeem then you're bound to be hurt some.

I'm looking at tickets to UFC 103 right now. I can't decide how much I want to bend over for, these tickets are not cheap and the seats aren't the greatest.

This is not the last we have heard from Affliction is my gut feeling.
Just move it to Japan and Barnett is good to go and Asian's will come out to see Fedor like he was crapping egg rolls as treats to them.

Affliction should look to team up with DREAM to save both organizations and try to get a Pride type organziation going in Japan again.

Biggest problem Dream and Affliction both have is a lack of deep enough talent to put on shows even though they both have headliners at the top.
A merger would make sense, probably to much sense and will never happen.

DREAM and Affliction merging huh, biggest scums in all of MMA are the guys behind DREAM, they make Don King look like Ghandi:142smilie

Why would ya ever want to merge with those guys:confused:


I think Affliction will put on one more show, but if you are a fighter in Affliction I'd get out now if I could. Nothing like training for a fight for 3 months and then not only not fight but get fucked when it comes to cash. Dana gets bashed for not paying fighters, well look at what Affliction did.

Josh Barnett in the ring with ALL the fighters from that card, now that would be some good beatdown action:scared

Sounds like M-1 event on Aug 28th is picking up Babalu vs Mousasi and maybe some more.

That is good news at least.

Also free tv,HDNET.

Don Frye vs King Mo was the headliner.
Now it could be on the undercard.:142smilie

Truly pathetic. I thought it was a nice undercard to which they didn't even seem to market at all, just goes to show that one man/fighter can't carry an organization. I would have still paid for it even if Fedor would have been fighting Gary Coleman, but that's me.
