Isn’t Affliction saying they are going to counter-program to steal viewers from the UFC’s biggest show a little like Vince from the ShamWow informercials threatening to repeat his 90 second spot over and over on the Bravo Network during the American Idol finale to steal their audience?

hey RYguyTHeflyguy,

zantac = anti-histamine (allergy medicine)
xanax = relaxant
zantax = FAIL

THEY ARE DREAMING, IF YOU DON’T READ THE INTERNET, NO ONE KNOWS THAT THERE IS AFFLICTION SHOWS. GIVE IT UP U CUUNTS.

Ha Affliction blows ass. The only good fighter they have is Fedor and I still say he is overrated.

@NateGetsIrate

I literally laughed out loud when I saw your first comment.

hollah

OH SHIT YOU GUYS A ONE-SIDED RAP BATTLE JUST BROKE OUT!!!

Sorry to break it to all you UFC fan boy douchebags, but if this is indeed affliction’s last event then this is bad for the sport.

Be an MMA fan not just a regular dumbass looking out to suck some Dana-Cock

I’m not an affliction™ fan by any means, but saying you’re gonna spend money on ufc and pirate affliction is pretty much saying i love fascism.
monopolies suck, hard. they are the achilles heel of free markets. they’re why mma fighters make dick compared to boxing. everyone laughed at affliction for the paycheques they gave out, but it was a step in the right direction, even if it was beyond their means. despite the fact that it’s so easy to hate affliction for a lot of different reasons, they’re still (rarely) putting on the best non-ufc fights there are (well, not counting the japs. but the chances of them going big in north america are slim to none). The UFC doesn’t need anymore of your money, every other promoter does. MMA needs a healthy enough market for a top fighter to be able to talk shit about a corporation and not worry about being cockblocked into obscurity because of it. It’s the only way fighters are going to be treated as well as other top athletes are. Compare the earnings of A-Rod/Beckham/Manning to GSP/Silva/Penn/Rampage. MMA will never go big time until this is fixed. Welcome to capitalism.

…got skillz!

@ RYguyTHeflyguy

wow. just got home and saw that you took 20 minutes to write me a poem. what a fag!

ryguyflyguy you are really COOL aren’t you. decided to talk and rap instead of type ascii cocks on the screen.
rap is crap, go get an education nigga!

Re: MaximumEntropy and all those that won’t shut up about Fedor

I am sorry but people are starting to care less and less about Fedor beating washed up Ex UFC fighters.

Even if he is the best I don’t care and most people don’t either (or shouldn’t) until he fights CURRENT #1 contenders. Its time for Fedor to quit hiding in the minor leagues of MMA and make the jump to the Bigs.

Honestly what are they going to do once Fedor beats Barnett? Who are you gonna give him. That company cannot sell competively with the UFC unless Fedor is on the card and they are running out of heavyweights to put against him. Maybe UFC will make some cuts in their HW division soon, and Affliction can pick them up and sell them as “worthy” opponents. Or even better they give Arvloski the re-match he so readily deserves, haha laughable.

I ordered the first Affliction PPV because I had never seen Fedor fight live and was influenced by all the talk about him being so amazing. The production value was terrible: lighting, sound, anouncing, they made Elite XC look like it was being produced by Jerry Buckheimer.

I would rather watch any of UFC’s current title holders over Fedor anyday. I think people who want to be seen as really “deep” or a “true fan” of MMA keep slurping Fedor and bash UFC so they can be seen as not being influenced by big time promotions. You are not a bigger/better football fan if you watch NFL Europe.

Fedor and Affliction need to step up or step out.

Damn did I stumble upon a Dana White dick-sucking party.

1st: Affliction going against UFC on a network or non-ppv show while UFC is on a PPV=IT WILL HURT THE UFC

2nd: Fedor>UFC 100 (Lesnar, Mir, GSP, Coleman)

3rd: In this Economy Free>PPV

4th: Affliction on a network TV=Finally Affliction competing with the UFC.

…so you see going against UFC’s biggest show is not that stupid. It’s genius and could reap great rewards for the Afflicted “t-shirt guys”.

UFC > Affliction

I wonder if sometimes Tom Atencio just takes out a gun and starts to shoot his foot, again, again, and again.

I’m certain now he doesn’t actually have feet. But stumps with shoes on them, so no one can tell.

I musta murdered a puppy in my past life, cause this aint fair.
i feel like matt hughes in my last fight with st. Pierre.
starin up at the lights then face down on the mat.
in between the screams you can almost hear his arm snap.

This is great news…with the retard from “What’s eating Gilbert Grape” running things, we can watch the Tito saga transfer over to Strikeforce. He can challenge Bobby Southworth to see who is the best LHW of the night. Or Tito might push for a fight with Kim Couture, or as he would put it “the fight everyone wants to see.”

Itd be a shame to see affliction fall apart.

“Is Affliction Going Kamikaze to Screw with UFC 100?”

Wasn’t that pretty much all they’ve been doing since day 1?

mmmmm donkey balllssss uuhhh ** starts drooling**

@ NateGetsIrate

If he had ever been to school he would have known he sucked donkey balls and wouldn’t be posting his “rhymes”.

Put Tito Ortiz on that card and watch the dedicated Tito fans totally forget about the 49.99$ UFC event… Fedor vs. Barnett.. Ortiz vs. Babalu for Free would be Amazing

@ NateGetsIrate

recess is for fools like you NateGetsIrate
dont be mad cus i fucked ur girlfriend now her periods late
i should warn u, i also like to go to your place to masterbate

or ripping u an asshole with lyrical attacks
so NateGetsIrate.. dont hate
just comment back and participate. nukka

If Affliction knows this will be their last show, putting it on the same day as UFC 100 is like telling the executioner you had sex with his mom as he pushes the stool out from under your feet and you hang to death.

It’s gonna piss him off yes, but you’re still dead.

@ RYguyTHeflyguy:

Nice rhymes. Didn’t know you kids had internet access over there at your grade school. How was recess?

TWENTY THIRD BITCHES

Affliction should save some money and replace Fedor with my friend Mike. He’s pretty tough and can bench 225.

affliction will win this one because their main event will be fedor wrestling a bear

Tom Atencio trying to out do ufc with Affliction,
is more sad then Ken Shamrocks Steroid addiction.
The Potato says it best: Affliction going Kamikaze,
They are like the Jews and UFC is the Nazi.
This clothing line mma promotion is going to lose the competition,
so hopefuly they just stop unlike BJ Penns greasegate bichin.
Afflction does have a good fight booked with the baby face assassin,
the outcome will be fedor winning with 2 ice cream cones laughin.
hopefully Vitor’s back and he fights like when he was in Chute box,
maybe even Aleks will show up unless he has hiv or small pox.
Now when its all said and done Dana white will reign supreme,
now the only compitetion is going to be Dream.
Unless strike froce does good numbers like the UFC,
and hopefully kimbo doesnt ruin it like he did to the ELITE XC

ASSfliction was dead the moment they paid fatass silvia for 36 seconds of beatdown.
bye assfliction we barely knew ya.
bye stupid assfliction fans who thought they were gonna put UFC outta business. You losers have your head so far up Fedor’s ass you can only see shit.

remember the whole reason why affliction started, the ufc bullied them out as a sponsor and now they promote there own clothin line fuckem

ufc 100 isn’t stacked, it has some good fights but not stacked. Affliction will hopefully stick around long enough for another couple shows. the whole 8 grand to show for alot of there fighters is just wrong at the numbers they do.

OR maybe we are seeing the onset of a cross UFC/Affliction Event?!?

While I don’t like it as a UFC fan, I love it as a Dana hater That would be a nice fuck you baldy

Neilson tracks live (air date) + 7 days. I’ve been told networks use live +3 for commercial / add rates.

The fighters won’t agree to take less money even to get on cable tv, especially the guys that get a cut of PPV buys. Affliction is a case study in how NOT to run any kind of business much less a fight promotion.

the winner will be able to pull off a card a month or so later … I wonder who that will be.

If they can get on network tv and restructure their fighters’ contracts, then there’s no need for a kamikazee attack on the UFC – they’ll probably manage to turn profitable.

That is, as long as they don’t try to counterprogram UFC 100. Because, seriously, that is a stupid idea. Counterprogramming works when the UFC does it because it makes it difficult for start-up orgs to gain steam and popularity with their initial shows. If the UFC takes 25% of EliteXC’s audience, then the org will have a tough time selling a second show to CBS. Affliction, on the other hand, isn’t going to hurt the UFC substantially with one counterprogram.

It is this type of thinking that has fucked Affliction from the start. “Hey, lets throw a card competing with the UFC, then go out of business. That’ll teach them.”

Hey CP… can Affliction get good ratings (or any ratings) if people at least DVR their show, while those DVR’ing watch UFC 100?

Anybody know the answer to that one?

@ rampaging

But what really are they going to offer with their counter programming? Unless they book Fedor vs. Aleks and Tito vs. Jenna what difference will it make to their numbers? This plan will backfire into an epic fail. The UFC 100 card is stacked and everyone will know it by the time the UFC hype machine is finished.

I’ll buy UFC live, and DVR the free affliction show and watch it right after

Free market, baby! Giving the UFC a taste of their own medicine when they did it!! It is deserving when an organization(UFC) feels compelled to do it to others. Karma works in funny ways.

My money will be spent on the UFC and i’ll watch the Affliction highlights the day after – as per usual.

this is just silly. but fuck it. i will watch it for free and download ufc 100 the next day. why wouldn’t i wanna see the “baddest man on the planet” for free

WAR Affliction!!!!!

Not a big Affliction fan, but I’d hate to see them disappear. Any industry is healthier with good competion. Dana and co. need to lose their only-kid-on-the-block mentality. It’s easy to be the biggest and best if you’ve got no one to compare to.

That’s a gas-ass picture.
