Donald Trump and Howard Stern Talk Affliction
MMA ambassador Donald Trump stopped by the Howard Stern Show yesterday to pump up Affliction: Banned. The audio is above; some highlights are below...
***
Trump: I'm supposed to come over here to talk about Affliction, which is like this big deal, I own a big piece of this company that's putting on fights, you know, the MMA, they — speaking about blood, they beat the crap out of each other —
Stern: Wait a minute, be honest with me, how many times are you having sex with your wife?
Trump: A lot.
***
Stern: What's [Fedor's] thing, karate, jiu-jitsu, what does he do?
Trump: Everything. His thing is inflicting death on people. He's never lost. He's abnormally strong...
Stern: How tall?
Trump: He's not that big either, he weighs about 225 pounds, he's fighting a guy who's a great champion, who weighs 100 pounds more [Ed. note: Well, like 40 pounds more. But still!], and he's like six inches, seven inches taller. And they're not giving the other guy a great chance.
***
Trump: I'm looking at this Russian, Fedor — with a face like you don't wanna touch, with ears like I've never seen before, muscles on his shoulders like I've never seen, his neck I think it's 28 inches — and I said to the girls, "Let me ask you a question. If I worked out for a little while, do you think I could take this guy?" They go, "Yes Mr. Trump"...
Stern: There it is, money speaks.

Trump is always fun to hear on howard stern. SInce i am such a huge fan of both HS and MMA, i wish he would talk more about it.
I couldn't believe that Trump lied and said Fedor has never lost. And he didn't say much of Tim. Definitely nothing about Tim's UFC past.
I wonder if Donald even knows who is fighting, but overall it was a good interview, just very little on MMA.
Than Says:
Dude knows nothing about MMA, but knows how to make money.

What is Trump doing promoting sports? He knows nothing about MMA (or boxing for that matter).
He sounded like a complete d-bag. I wish Fedor would do something good for once like punch out Trump.
Can't wait to see Anderson Silva again!
Me Says:
The Donald was on Mike and Mike this morning on ESPN radio promoting the event also.
The Jawsome Says:
Too funny. I know Trump doesn't exactly know all the facts, but the stuff he says is funny.
-Muscle on Fedors shoulders? Cmon, you cant see them if he even has any. He's more chubby than he is muscular.
-28 inch neck? Cmon, I dont even think Brock Lesnar has a 20 inch neck.
-325 lbs Sylvia? RFLMAO

Donald Trump vs. Dana White....that would be the ultimate UFC vs. Affliction event....I pick The Donald via a first round Anaconda Choke.....

Wow, Donald Trump knows a lot about MMA, good thing he joined the MMA world.
Fedor never lost Says:
Technically, Fedor never did lose. He got a cut in a fight with TK from an illegal elbow and the doctors stopped the fight. The elbow was illegal so he should have won but since it was in a one night tournament and they needed somebody to advance that's why he has 1 loss. ;p

Why would you pay good money to watch a sport that Donald Trump knows nothing about that he is trying to promote. The UFC's main event with Anderson Silva will rock the house. UFC rocks.
matt Says:
i am a huge fedor fan, he lost to tk, but came back and punished him in the rematch. fedor is a great fighter, but who has he beaten in the last few years??.....noone with a great name. for someone with a rep of being the toughest man alive, he sure doesnt fight the toughest men alive. i think this fight with silvia will prove that he is "one" of the best.....if he wins of course!!! FEDOR ALL THE WAY!!!!
fightfan Says:
Trump has only been embarassing himself, thinking that he can act like a douchbag and because of his name people are going to kiss his ass.
You imagine what a tool he would be if was was exactly the same.......that is goofy look and ridiculis hair, along with the cocky arrogant attitude thta thinks he is funny but WITH NO MONEY?????
Then people would finally see what a moron he is. Then they would NOT laugh when he says those retarded things people laugh at just because of his name. He has NO CLUE WTF he is talking about when he talk mma. he sounds rather ridiculis if you really know your mma. It is like the popular thing in high school that all the 'in' people "start" liking because its popular, but know nothing about.

Is the Donald really taller than Fedor or is that just that animal lying across his head?
Sylvia looks like one of the waiters at Trannyshack on Ninth St. in San Francisco.
Both Trump and Stern are big fakes and Affliction got Trump involved because he can get them direct access to these kind of professional ass kissers in sports radio, TV, print.
Trump is not promoting MMA, he knows nothing of it, that much is clear.
He is promoting himself and the fallout will hopefully be more brand awareness for Affliction's show.
The levels of douchiness were off the charts.
JD Says:
Trump doesnt know SHIT bout MMA... ."the Match"... who the eff says that?!? ahhah Affliction is a joke, and Trump is just trying to jump on the bandwagon to earn himself some extra millions... However if the Silva / Irvin fight takes even 20% of the buys away from paperview Affliction is going to freaking hurting... BAD!!! Affliction, every Douche bag and meathead that thinks they may be tough, but probably never been in a fight in their lives, wearing their shirts across all the Fake Bronzing clubs of the USA!!! Affliction = Douche Bag America!!!
JD Says:
If anyone is a true MMA fan, Dont buy Afflictions payperview!!! And Lets send Affliction to the ground and kill that brand!! I know its not easy, because i also want t see Fedor fight again, however eff the payperview and sunday morning come check out cagepotato or youtube and see the fight for free!!! To waste $50 on fights that really all thats going to happen is Fedor will destroy Silvia no later than the 2nd round!! F*ck Affliction and the bullshit that goes along w/ it!!!
Ouch! That hurts Says:
I'll be watching the Affliction show and Tivoing the UFC show. Love or hate the Affliction clothes they are going to have a good first show. After that I'm not so sure, with such a small stable of fighters how many shows can they put on before they have "Banned 5:Fedor vs. Silvia3"? I hope I'm wrong, some of my favorite fighters are under their banner.
