Fedor Emelianenko vs Tim Sylvia (main event) Josh Barnett vs Pedro Rizzo Ben Rothwell vs Andre Arlovski (recently reconfirmed) Aleksander Emelianenko vs Paul Buentello Matt Lindland vs Fabio Negao Renato Sobral vs Mike Whitehead Savant Young vs Mark Hominick Brett Cooper vs Mike Pyle Ray Lamaza vs Justin Levens JJ Ambrose vs Patrick Speight
really? where is Pedro ranked in the top 10 heavies these days, who is Paul buantello's biggest win against? Sobral, Whitehead and Lindlend are all UFC castaway's, Fedor vs Tim should be a great fight and the AA -Rothwell fight as well....even though Roswell has been in the IFL lately and has been almost untested as of late. I think Fedor -AA is the biggest possible fight that can be made.
The biggest If you stick Couture vs Fedor with the rest of this Affliction card then right then thats a million buys on PPV. AA-Fedor gets about 300,000. Difference between best and biggest fights ala Cotto-Mayweather vs Mayweather-DLH :good
Five of the top 10 heavies on one hard... I say thats pretty ****ing badass, especially with UFC heavyweight roster has died down.
They've fought in the UFC in the past, and are still good anough to compete with the UFC's best (Sobral) or beat them (Lindland) - call them 'castaways' if you like but I think thats needlessly disparaging.
Name a better card then that UFC had. I can't think of one. I love heavies, and for me this card is just absolutely the best right now.
UFC 84, but then again you say you like your heavyweight fights so I can understand you really liking this card.
