InyaAzz Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 The whole fucking event has been canceled!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Josh Barnett is lucky, he would have been destroyed anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I would have liked to see Vitor Belfort step in...someone powerful.Don't sell Barnett short. He has the tool set to beat Fedor. Do I think he would have won? Probably not..but he has the potential to make it interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmako777 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 With affliction goin back to being a ufc sponsor, I'm hoping fedor will come to the ufc. I think at this point he's the only one that can beat lesnar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 This is most likely the end of Affliction. I'd like to be proven wrong..but they can't sustain their business model.The problem with Fedor is that he has a lot of contractual baggage...To fight in the UFC, Zuffa needs to deal with M1..and we all know how stingy Zuffa is.

Likwid Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Man, at first I thought this was a MC event, I was wondering why a rider would take steroids.I'm surprised they even test for roids in the fighting stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to test for roids, just like in boxing, for events that are sanctioned. Josh has fought mostly in Japan his whole career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InyaAzz Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Heh....i called it. No more Affliction.And I didn't realize this...but Fedor is co-owner of M1. No wonder why the deal didn't go through. It wasn't about $$$...it was about picking the opponents. Zuffa wants to say who Fedor fights...and M1 doesn't want that. Understandably...Fedor is M1's goose laying the golden eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
