Comments on: Vitor Belfort To Face Terry Martin At Affliction “Banned” http://mmafrenzy.com/2709/vitor-belfort-to-face-terry-martin-at-affliction-banned/ UFC and MMA News Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:07:55 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5.2 hourly 1 By: Dannyboy http://mmafrenzy.com/2709/vitor-belfort-to-face-terry-martin-at-affliction-banned/#comment-40171 Dannyboy Fri, 13 Jun 2008 19:10:04 +0000 http://mmafrenzy.com/?p=2709#comment-40171 JAI once again we agree completely. All these guys hating on the other promotions are just resistant to change. Give it up people... MMA is changing and I hate to let you in on it...but money makes the world go round. Dana doesn't pay enough sometimes so I'm glad those fighters who aren't dumb enough to sign their life away will now have a choice of where they want to be...and for how much! Any of you WANTING other promotions to fail are just ignorant of the way things work in this world of ours. JAI once again we agree completely.

I used to hate to watch anything else ...One day I grew up. Minotaure and Mir are the only HW worth watching most of the time. I am a GOnzaga fan because I met him and know how cool he is in real life. The rest of the division I could care less about. Penn Huerta GSP The Diaz brothers and countless others have provent the superiority of the smaller divisions. Buenleos-Tapia was practically right out of a comic book. While most HW matches are like watching Sumo. You observe the two big things waiting for the least little thing to decide the outcome. KOuch,

My problem with HWs is I often get the feeling I do during a boxing match and that feeling is suicidal boredom. Tim Sylvia is the king of boring fights. He can be ranked right up my own a$$hole and he'd still be boring. Affliction may have the majority of HW talent but that's it. F Affliction! I'll be watching and can't wait.

Gonzaga is good... he's just young as a fighter. He gets the upset follows it up with a title shot and then he has to come back from that depression to rematch the only other guy to beat him.Give him time he gets better. Mir is a great fighter in the budo sense not the sport. He's the defacto Horn at HW. Its kind of good to have him as hes the x factor. Werdum is talented I just don't like watching him fight. And Vera is just fun. I count four HW worth keeping.

Fedor is the #1 HW and #2 P4P in the world. He has beaten ALL the top HWs in the world except Couture of which he has not faced yet. Slyvia is still in his prime and is a top HW and was the #2 HW in the UFC before his departure. He also is a 2 time UFC HW Champ. Barnett is the #4 HW and that may be to low. He holds an impressive win of Couture when Courture was young! Former UFC HW Champ prior to his suspension and being stripped of the title. Based on all around skills, he is a top 10 P4P guys in the sport but he is WAY under rated. Andrei Arlovski - Is #6 HW in the world and former UFC HW Champ. Dana still wants this guy REAL bad. Ben Rothwell - Top 10 HW, on a hot streak and on the rise!! Mike Pyle is an up and comer. (Randy Couture understudy) Matt Linland is solid! Kinda boring, but Solid! .....I disagree with the has been label Has beens????

I think all these new promotions getting ritzy investors like The Donald will hurt MMA. They are making it about the money just like everything else. I bet within the next 5 years Elite XC, Affliction, Dream and maybe one or two other promotions will be bought out or go under because it was about making money and not having the knowledge of MMA. I am still amazed people enjoyed that Elite XC crap two weeks ago but I also think it will get old quickly with it's disgusting presentation of dancers, rappers and Kimbo. Dirty,

Dana White is right about all these other organizations just riding the waves and doing it for the money. UFC are the guys pushing the sport into Europe and actually trying to grow the sport. Lets see if Affliction actually tries help grow the sport and not just put together big names. These new organizations are not going to last if they come out looking like Pro Wrestling. MMA and Pro Wrestling is like comparing Hockey to MMA. They are both completely different and if these new organizations are gonna fix fights, protect fighters images, jsut to draw money they are in the wrong business and should start back up WCW. MMA is a sport and an art in itself, should be delivered as a real sport. All the training, the discipline, blood, sweat, all the ancient and honorable mma art forms ...everything amazing about this sport goes down the tube if you advertise it the wrong way.

I will be extremely disappointed if they don't show me the Belfort/Martin fight. I loved Belfort back in the day but have been disappointed since the steroid test. He is for sure past his prime...but when he was in his prime...man oh man he could fight. Course now you have to wonder if the steroid tests were as good back then and perhaps he never really was that good. Terry Martin is a one trick pony... he went 1-0 in professional boxing recently which tells you all you need to know about where his focus is. I'd be surprised if Martin won...

The card is stacked with very familiar names. From my stand point, Affliction could be making very risky investments. I feel Affliction is chasing big names more than talent. Their HW division is nicely stacked with a few fighters who could transition to the top.(UFC) Other fighters are has beens but that is not to say they could not make a turn around in their career. Affliction is going to very interesting for a while but I can see it easily becoming a 2nd rate show with 2nd rate fighters. Only time will tell. Dirty,
