I understand both your points but I disagree with the way of handling it. Mentioning a football reference really hurts your case because if dana would stop being such a douchebag and allow cross promotion fights then we WOULD have ‘teams’ playing other ‘teams’ just like in Football. But he won’t. He’s greedy… He wants the UFC to BE MMA. It’s not…it’s too late Dana… it won’t happen. Yes you were the man by getting all this started, yes you are the man by continuing to put together great cards and awesome fights… but you are NOT the man for trying to single handedly destroy any other promotion that gets in your way.

Harsh business practices? NO… BAD ETHICS.

Sean I agree with you man. Dana always does bashes people when he can’t get them signed. the only person that I do not remember him bashing is Takonari Gomi after not being able to sign him.

The reason why Fedor did not go to the UFC is because UFC will not let a contracted fighter fight in any other organization unlike all of the other promotions. Fedor’s manager has Fedor fight in Russia as they evolve the sport there. UFC is a cock block to this ****ing sport. With only one promotion where will all the fighters besides the 200-250 UFC fighters make a living? UFC is the worst thing that could happen for fighters and I guess the best thing to happen for the piece of **** Dana.

are you serious? this has been said so many times i cant believe your forcing me to say it again. The UFC treat their fighters like **** because theyre the only org, they have a monopoly. so when dana gave the ****ty contract to fedor that said he couldnt compete in combat sambo (which he cares about more than mma), that he couldnt get out of the contract till he lost or retired, blah blah blah, fedor told him to **** off. Anyway, it doesnt make sense to dodge UFC fighters then agree to fight 2 time ufc champ under another banner, does it? oh wait, yes it does, cos that means he can fight decent fighters (like, say, no.4 in the world) and not be tied down to white and his bull****.
As for the fight with randy, wow, a 44 year old with a 16-8 record wants to solidify his mma legacy by fighting the no.1 fighter! shocking. who doesnt wanna fight fedor, as soon as your no.1, everyone wants a piece of you because your the man to beat. randy says hes doing it cos its wat the fans want. bull****. its wat YOU want, randy.

However, I do hope they succeed enough to be able to put on a few more shows because I think this is really the best heavyweight card ever. The only thing missing is cro-cop and randy.

Here is me waiting until october… Randy vs Fedor

I hate the people running Affliction but not the fighters. I respect the fighters….even boring Tim Sylvia. My problem is that Affliction has tried to come across as the next big thing and they are yet to hold their first event. Afflction is just getting it’s KARMA for starting their own promotion after building popularity through the UFC and Elite XC. In general, Heavy Weights are USUALLY slow and can be boring…NOT ALWAYS…….BUT…….HWs is what Affliction offers as far as talent goes. To me, it will get old very fast watching a promotion supported by a HW division.
