MMA guys... what do you think about this latest drama with Affliction

MC · 07-22-2009, 03:07 PM

josh barnett tests positive for "a banned substance" and is kicked out of the fedor fight next week. they (possibly) are getting vitor belifort to replace him.... isnt that dude like 185?

but yeah i think affliction is dead.. they better show this on HDnet for free now

bboypuertoroc · 07-22-2009, 04:12 PM

What a ******* idiot.

I agree... it's pretty much a wrap for Affliction.

Maybe we'll finally see Fedor rape Lesnar.

Alexus · 07-22-2009, 04:15 PM

Being in the business I can with utmost certainty say that the Affliction promotion is a dieing brand.

MC · 07-22-2009, 05:08 PM

hmm maybe belfort isnt a 100% lock

With Barnett scrambling to clear name, Affliction confident in providing "worthy" replacement | MMAjunkie.com

you know no matter who they place in there at this point its gonna be a failure but just for the PPV draw aspect i think it should be bobby lashley or bret rodgers

Hoping for Brett Rogers

CBRich · 07-24-2009, 09:25 AM

I would much rather see Brett Rogers than Bobby Lashley. Lashley knows he doesn't have the skills to do this. At least Brett Rogers has a little bit of experience along with the required size. Vitor is an amazing fighter but he's just way too small.

MC · 07-24-2009, 02:31 PM

they cancelled the entire PPV

webgirl · 07-24-2009, 03:29 PM

That's lame. They said “But in the end, we just didn’t have enough time to promote a new fight to our standards.” Why not? I feel bad for all of the fighters who have been busting *** training for this just for it to be canceled a week before the event. Not to mention all of the people who have bought tickets and made travel arrangements. If I had done all of that and gotten all excited just for it to be canceled I would be pissed. Affliction is lame anyway.

MC · 07-24-2009, 03:34 PM

yup i would have thrown some warm body in there with fedor and offered it free on HDnet. the undercard was gonna be free anyway on there.. they could have made a little $ off the gate and saved some face. but then again HDnet got dropped from some cable markets recently so i doubt the exposure would have been that big even for free.

tough situation but i wouldnt have canceled. jeff monson would have fought fedor for a happy meal

CBRich · 07-24-2009, 06:34 PM

This is just what we should expect from "a t-shirt guy." Now bring Fedor to the UFC and be done with this mess.

Imho the only way Fedor is going to make it into UFC is through the Ultimate Fighter, like Kimbo.

I know you say you're in the business but this is just ridiculous. Kimbo has all of 3 wins and 1 loss to a third rate fighter a weight class down. Fedor is 30-1 against legitimate fighters (mostly). There is no way he should start in TUF.

Fedor would have no issues going straight into the UFC.
