vitor is a MW I though he was a 205er a thin one aswell
yeah he was a 205, hasnt fought in a while moving down to 185 for a comeback.
why doesnt it say the main card weights, top 3 fights. are they open unavailable or just cause there heavyweights doesnt matter?
Let’s go Martin! I swear, it seems likehe’s fighting everywhere, everyone, and everything lol.
off to a lovely start i see they had a guy not make weight and then one guy not get cleared for the fight real professional lol let the jokes begin
james irvin didnt make weight either what a loser how do you not make weight i wont lie he will need the few extra pounds against silva that is forsure
The fight I wanted to see is off>hopefully the company will follow shortly after tomorrow night.
weigh-ins were a train wreck. I hope they don’t put the show on like that. but card looks good and fedor is ready. I just hope I didn’t waste my 600 dollars for tickets
I predicted that 1 fight would fall but I never thought Fedor’s brother would be the one to fall. Did they say anything about filling in the dead airtime on FSN at the weigh ins?
lol irvin did make weight you get one hour after wiegh in to cut any extra weight. But not to make fun of the promo only fight i want to see is rothwell and fedor other than that its all garbage i wont pay for.
how embarrassing for Affliction for Alexsander to not be medically prepared for the fight. that is horribly unprofessional.
that sucks i really wanted to seebuentello and alexs fight…well at least this was not gonna be on ppv…I really thought that was gonna be a good match up
NEWS…NEWS….NEWS….NEWS…NEWS…NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!
also everyone sorry for posting again but i just found out that GARY GOODRIDGE WILL REPLACE ALEXANDER AND IT WILL BE GARY GOODRIDGE VS PAUL BUENTELLO……………….THATS RIGHT GARY BIG DADDY GOODRIDGE VS PAUL BUENTELLO…I FOR ONE AM THRILLED TO SEE THIS THATS GONNA BE AWESOME…
Andrew,
Normally I don’t care that much about it but it is the purpose of the fight tomorrow. Its almost worse than doing it at a title fight because the cameras are there for the 205 only.I’d fine them both.
The Gunslinger,
I am taking that one in…I like Gary but that’s just any other fight now. The Emelianenko brothers were a perfect double feature of fighting Now its just filler.
dietrich,
i agree i wanted to see alexs too but im fine with this too i havent seen gary fight for a while
I agree with diet, alex is a top ten fighter, gary is top 50 maybe, paul I think is number13
Babalu 201LB ??
