If it was going to be their last event, okay whatever. At leased put it on. Jeff Monson should have fought Fedor since he's been talking about it for a long time.

it would of not sold any PPV 's

[MrUltimateTKO]

lol I'll say it again...Barnett sent Affliction to hell.

It is bad for the sport, UFC is a bunch of clowns. UFC money is rubbish, the fighters are getting hosed

Sorry this is a comparison with the comment below and not designed as a Brock bash fest.

I blame Fedor for nothing, M-1 is the 100% reason that Fedor will not sign with UFC, at least they got Ortiz and Belfort!

[JWingTsun13Blues]

That's a true point. But which of Lesnar's opponents hav stood a chance against him? (name wrong - ) Soo Kim?, Herring or Couture?

It's just IMO the people who stand teh least chance vs Brock are wrestlers, limited BJJ, limited striking, smaller.

This is common in all opponents except Mur. Brock has potential but he just isn't impressive. Wheras Fedor = striking, submissions, similar height, weight, get's battered and wins. While these aren't neccessary for MMA success they gotta count.

I'm a big Fedor fan and all I think he would beat Lesnar but when is the last time he fought anyone with a snowballs chance in an incinerator of beating him, in PRIDE maybe?

UFC has more good heavyweights than Affliction had or Strikeforce has.

Fedor best heavyweight yes best overall fighter... in 2003!

[seancarletonzero]

well they were going down anyway, Barnett just sent them crashing months ahead of time!

[seancarletonzero]

you see if Fedor fought Couture or Lesnar or even Mir there would be a better chance of him losing than facing anyone in the former Affliction MMA promotion.

Enjoyed your vid man. I like your business views. (or your business mind). What I mean is I enjoy when you talk about that side, which I think you do in most, definitely in this vud. and I think you make great vids.

Thanks man

No offense but that doesn't make sense. UFC top heavyweight is 4-1. So he deserves to be regarded as no1 until Fedor beats him?

That's twisted, Fedor has beat some very respectable opponents. CroCop, Nogeuira x 3. These in their prime, as soon as these guys go to UFC it's like - now they're legitimate. They're probablty more legitimate pre-UFC when Fedor beat them. Go ahead people and comment me down, but Brock hasn't been as impressive as Fedor. I can't wait for the future to see more.

Affliction is now a sponser to UFC and all the Affliction fighters contracts are in Dana White's hands soo Fedor gets 1 fight in the UFC
