Affliction "Day of Reckoning" Picks: Our Turn
(*slow clap* 'Yes, yes, Mr. Emelianenko. We are all very impressed with your accomplishments. But now you must taste my pee-pee-pee.')
All right, so we didn’t do all that well with our UFC 93 picks (I mean, we both beat the hell out of Perennial, though who didn’t?), but we’re loading up again for Affliction and hoping to beat our fairly dismal scores of 13 (BG) and 14 (BF) this time around.
If you haven’t already, remember to add your picks to our Affliction: Day of Reckoning Pick-em Contest for your chance to win an autographed copy of L. Jon Wertheim’s Blood in the Cage.
Naturally, we’ll be liveblogging all the action Saturday night beginning at 9 pm ET, so make sure to come on back and join the party. As a side note, we’re scratching the Dan Lauzon-Bobby Green bout from our pick-em contest on account of the late switch, so don’t even sweat it if you got your picks in before Chris Horodecki’s bulging disk cost him a chance to fight.
Our picks are after the jump.

I'm actually going to get every one of these wrong with the exception of Arlovski who will pull out a miraculous decision. Superior boxing and submission defense will allow this warrior to go the distance.

Hey tard, if you would of read the post instead of posting retardedly. You would have read that they scraped it because of the late pull-out of Chris Hordeski. Don't forget to clean your drool towels.
Imbecile Says:
Exact same picks in every fight? Can't say I blame you. This event, like the first Affliction show, has some star power, but the match-ups leave me with about as much anticipation for the outcome as a Venezuelan election.
Anonymous Says:
No, you'll get that one wrong too. Arlovski will be sleeping.
chuy cuevas Says:
you guys are nuts arlovski is not getting knocked out by that fat russian!! arlovski is unstoppable!!
chuy cuevas Says:
nooooo fedor will be!!
Sodak Says:
Arlovski isn't gonna be able to run away like you can in the octogon there are corners in a ring. he'll run for awhile throwing leg kicks like he did w/ werdum once fedor gets a hold of him its over.
SocraticMethod Says:
They replaced him, no?
BIGDADDY Says:
BIGDADDY says....chuy cuevas= ass-clown! Fedor will only be beatin by Evil Fedor from the 5th-dimension!! everybody knows it....ITS STATE LAW!! LOOK IT UP!!

Damn I need to find out who Andrei's barber is. That is one well-trimmed beard.
NipGrip Says:
Arlovski is going to win in the first 2 minutes of the first round.

The caption fro that pic is my favorite of all time
Cap'n Says:
Since the economy is screwed, and my 401K is tanking, I have a new investment strategy. I place bets with my friends and pick the opposite of what CagePotato predicts. I usually end up $25-$30 ahead. Genius.
Keyser Soze Says:
Some of these are tough calls, but I'll go with Arlovski (Fedor won't be able to find his chin to tag in that beard), Yvel, Belfort, Sokoudjou, and the biggest winner of the night... Dana White (and Zuffa). The UFC will pick up Arlovski again, and hopefully Fedor, in the bankruptcy sale Afflction puts on to cover the financial losses.

Arlovski by TKO
Anonymous Says:
I wish Fedor would fight someone other than people UFC left behind a few years ago.. I'm still not convinced he's unstoppable, when has he fought someone who was good now, not 2 years ago.
chuy cuevas Says:
Thats what you think thats just a fat human!! LOL!!!!!
brandon Says:
Screw all of you I'm taking Arlovski in this fight. Shit.
