Bulldog_916 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I dont know if anyone else on here ordered the Affliction: Day of Reckoning PPV event, but if you did, you cant be too disappointed in the event as a whole. 2 spectacular KOs, a couple of TKOs and a couple of submissions. Cant get much more mixed than that. Andre Arlovski ate a Fedor Emelianenko right hand in mid-air that knocked him unconscious before he hit the ground. Vitor Belfort cracked Matt Lindland with a stiff left that stunned the hell out of him before finishing the job in a couple of hard ground punches. Lindland was so out of it that it took him 5 whole minutes to finally become lucid and another 3 to even stand up. Renato Sobral locked on a beautiful anaconda choke that caused Thierry Sokoudjou to tap in the second round. Paul Buentello proved once again that his experience on the feet can bring problems even to fighters known as "Fedor Emelianenko protoges." He beat Kerlil Sidelnikov handily through three rounds of stand up fighting ending in a stoppage after Sidelnikov repeatedly lost his mouth piece following hard punches to the face. Those are just the highlights of the night. Well worth the money to see the event I think. http://www.mmalinker.com/xExternal.php?vidid=12412Check out the KO vid.

Bulldog_916 Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Oh yea, also, there's a WEC event on VS. tonight, a rematch between Urijah Faber and Jens Pulver. I highly recommend you see it if you can sit through the commercials every 5 minutes.BJ Penn and Georges St. Pierre will also be shown but next week. I'm looking forward to seeing it. I have BJ Penn taking Georges St. Pierre by submission, but only barely. St. Pierre is no doubt a great fighter and probably one of the best, but BJ Penn is more focused than he has ever been. It's a tough call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think Pulver is going to come out more focused this time.apparently notHe was focused, but one punch can change everything and Faber's amazing body shot did that in spades. I think Faber is one of the best featherweights in MMA right now. Pulver has to go and look in the mirror and check if he really can do this like he used to. You cant come in and work one fighting style and expect that you'll do well. You have to have a flexible fighting style that encompasses several distinct techniques. I think Pulver is counting too much on his past as a striker. He has to find his ground game or improve his striking beyond boxing. As far as Penn and St. Pierre, the UFC has a habit of cutting footage to make it look worse than it is. Most of these guys would just rather fight than talk at a camera. So suggestive or leading questions come out a lot. Penn is a pretty respectful guy most of the time, he just has to play mind games to get his head into the fight. Some guys just need that to keep their focus. GSP is an extremely polite fighter. But if he hears something come out of Penn's mouth that he doesnt like, obviously he'll respond in turn. When they get into the Octagon, all this interview shit goes away and it's just 1 on 1. Just be really skeptical of the build-up shows to PPVs. They want to get people to watch, their interest is not portraying the fighters with respect. It's business. It doesnt exactly reflect how the guys actually are.

SilentBob Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 ya i wasn't happy to see Arlovski go down in the first, but he has a glass jaw and it was bound to happen.GNR: UFC is good, Affliction and WEC are good as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjacksm Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I watched Affliction with my friends we went nuts with that KO with Fedor the reaction was so funny I wish we taped it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linebacker131 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Arlovski was making Fedor look like garbage in that fight. Jens should have never fought that fight in the first place. Finally GSP by TKO round 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newjacksm Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Fedor is the man, he is relaxed and doesn't let the enemy get into his head. Fedor gets into fighters head. AA punched Fedor and it didnt even look like it bothered him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linebacker131 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Dude i never said Fedor wasnt good im saying he didnt look good in that fight be couldnt do anything. Fedor is either the best for the 2nd best fighter as of yet and the 3rd best will be the winner this weekend in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Fedor definitely is the best in the world right now, no one can really dispute that. Now he'll end up running over Josh Barnett and then retire a free man in the top spot in the MMA hall of fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjacksm Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) I wanna see him fight Anderson Silva.. It'll never happen but that would be a great fight. Edited January 31, 2009 by newjacksm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 HAHAHA! He would smash Silva. Silva survives on being able to out strike his opponents or use his Jiu Jitsu to submit them. There isnt a way to submit that kinda power and skill. If there is, it hasnt been found yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog_916 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 He won. I knew the fight was going to go that way, I just thought Penn would submit him before he gassed. But I was wrong. Oh well. Now its going to be GSP and Thiago Alves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjacksm Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 GSP looked weird, the card looked good on paper but wow 3 Decisions in a row had me rolling in bordum. I was really hyped up for the first match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
