Name Changed

Arlovski is one of my favourite fighters. If he is on his game, he is a tremendous fighter.

Potentially, this could be Fedor's hardest fight ever. Arlovski has the game and the power to do serious damage. However you can't really look past Fedor's amazing record and he has to be favourite.

I think it'll be a super fight and I'd be picking Fedor to win, although I'd love Arlovski to do it.

hmmmmmm

Is there anyway of watching this on the telly or online?? I know Bravo were meant to show the first Affliction before the UFC told them that was a no no.

Sm0ke

yeah there is ways to im going to pm a moderator now to find out if its allowed to talk about how.

cagefan

Im hoping Arlovski wins..he has to be one of the most exciting heavyweight fighters and I think its better if Arlovski wins as its being rumored that a return to the UFC would be on the cards for a possible match with Lesnar. Tho it has to be said that Fedor is an animal in every aspect while arlovski really excels at striking so fedor has a lot more ways he can win!

Karmafaerie

I wouldn't advise streaming, it's just not good enough quality for MMA.
You'll miss so much.
Just wait untill the next morning and download the torrent in HD.
It'll be up within 4 hours of the show ending.


P.S: Fedor all the way.
He'll control the first round, and finish it in the second.

I've just wet myself with excitement! They did this the last time and pulled it soon after announcing so I hope it's for real. Never seen Fedor on a tv screen so this will be sweet. Arlovski's my fave fighter too.

Not live. The fights take place 3am on sat night/sun morning. So stay away from your pc until you watch it if you dont want to have it ruined.

Curious to see what type of show they put on. Like i've said before never seen Fedor fight so want to see what all the Hype is about.,

I'll just watch it live instead.. There's not the same atmosphere when you know you're watching a taped event.

yes them adverts are necessary for piss breaks when watching live

dunkamania

Solid card.

As incompetent as they are, I really hope Affliciton can pull it all together and make a profit at some point down the road. This is a card that should be on CBS or similar level stage.

David Jones

Bao Quach was one of Chris Brennan's original students, one time ranked top 5 in Shooto. Great guy hope he kicks ass.

Turbo_diesel

Delighted to see Bravo showing this as well. From what I have seen & read about Fedor on the net the bloke looks like a beast. Those of you watching this live I take it your watchin it on the net? Have you a link for where it will be on?
Long term if this is Afflictions final fight card like Dana White says it is I hope Fedor will join the UFC. Would love to see Fedor fight Broc, reckon Fedor would murder him!

now im psyched , my 2c worth fedor win's it quick or he loses / he gets a decision . f**k i cant call this lol

As much as i would love to see him there with some of the guys in UFC i hope he never dirties his feet in a ufc octagon, he has nothing to prove to them. And im not a huge fedor fan btw.

anyway as said in the video : "He's human , he is a human" ;-)

ginoginelli

That promos got me psyched too. Pity the rest of their promotional activities have been so sh*tty. Word is their having major problems selling out the arena. This event looks like its going to be make or break for them..

My theory is that Affliction is lost cause (shocking I know) and video I posted is Fedor's insurance policy as it seems to build him up more than the fight and the event combined. Fedor's people are very, very smart on how they postition him.

Kurt Cocaine

Can someone tell me where it's being shown live? I can watch it sunday but would love to see it live. Don't want to miss the 2 minutes it'll take Fedor to get through Andrei. Andrei sounded like a beaten man in the press conference. Even said thanks to affliction for letting him fight "the best fighter in the world" Looked like he was going to cry, and looked very sheepish (may be a tactic to fool Fedor). Oscar De La Hoya introduced Fedor, who looked ready to go!

cheers

Mossy Monk

Try justin.tv or something. It is not being shown live on tv in this country.

Kurt Cocaine

Cheers Mossy. I'll check it out. If the streaming looks like it's going to be too jumpy I'll just wait til Sunday so I don't end up screaming at the computer.

dardoz

does any1 know what time the fight will be at? There seems to be conflicting reports.

Nice one!

Highnoon

I like Arlovski but hoping Fedor holds onto his 'mythic status' and kicks his ass. Then wait for Dana to start bashing fedor again. Eventually there'll be a fight against Lesnar and hopefully he'll kick his ass too. I know they say that everyone loses eventually if they keep fighting top opposition but Fedor seems like a good guy (humble etc) and I'd like to see him retire with a perfect record haviong fought all the top guys. Bit like Marciano.
