Comcast does not get HDnet...
No Dream... =(
I hate Comcast.

You'll have to check it out. It's well worth the walk over to a buddies house to see....

Good fight. Dream looks to have a pretty stacked list of fighters,especially with Cro Cop,and I love the Pride-like presentation. The Tim Sylvia/Fedor fight is supposed to be broadcast by Dream as well.
I may just have to order UFC 84 on PPV. Looks like a very good card. Can't wait to see Wanderlei back. I hope he demolishes Jardine. It's not that I don't like Jardine;I just like Silva more.
I hope Machida beats Ortiz as well. Can't stand that loudmouth Ortiz. Also rooting for B.J. Penn. Kid's got skills.

 

[ChavoLC2]

This ought to be good ....

Can't wait to see the California kid Uriah Favor defend against Pulver at 145lbs. Youth and strength versus age and wiley experience. Should be a great fight. Pulver choked out Cub Swanson almost immmeadiately.

The Sylvia/Fedor fight is going to be under the Affliction banner, not Dream.

If comcast does not carry that, there will be a revolution!!!
That car is going to be so sick, I am not sure how they are
going to make any money. The PPV is $39.95 from what I have heard.

BTW how many of you guys are on Sherdog.com?

I just read some more into that. The fight is part of a co-promotion between Affliction and Dream.

I am.. Ive been posting there since 2004 I think.. maybe 2003.. I forget exactly but its been a long time.

Im on sherdog for the past 6 years... head-hunter is my screen name. Its a good site so is MMAWEEKLY

The Fedor/Sylvia fight... Fedor all the way. Bad match up for Tim. His skill level just isnt there. Ricco Rodrigez needs to get his game back, and come fight Fedor. I dont see that happening....Anyway I dont see Tim doing more damage than Randleman did and Fedor recovered, just to take Randleman out in a rear-naked choke. Besides I like to watch Tim loose, when he was champ the goofball would wear his belt out in public, like one of those WWE guys...talk about funny. A Sylvia/Mir rematch...that would be good.

I know you are an OG, you had Rampage as your avatar before any of the TUF
fans knew who he was. I lurked for a couple years and joined in 2006.
I don't post much because of the high troll to fan ratio!

 

[GNguy]

That fight is probably one of the best of the year. As of now, I think Dream 3 is the best show of the year, until affliction comes to town. Oh, I am going to the Sylva Fedor fight considering its 10 minutes from me. Fedor is gonna twist tim up so bad its not even funny, I think it will be either a 1st round ko or sub. I hate sherdog.....im a member there but I hate that site, I only registered after I saw a really stupid post that I had to say something about, I had been lurking around there for a couple of years.

BTW thank you for calling in the Fedor/Sylvia fight.
Although I think Tim is better than some of the fans give him credit for
if Fedor is on his game the Russian takes this no later than the second round.

I am still trying to figure out Mir vs Nog for the next season of TUF.
So Nog is not going to defend his title until the new season is over...? (Lame)
Mir is getting a title shot (more lame)
The heavyweight division in the UFC (lamest)

-Texas Crazy Horse....meh
-Kongo....good at busting balls
-Gonzaga don't know yet he does not like to get hit
-Vera is too small
-Werdum is good and has a chance at beating Nog, he lost their first fight
-Couture is not coming back
-Brock....no comment

Who am I missing...?

Sylvia

Hope someone takes it to Tim Sylvia. GNguy is right Fedor should get pass the big lug hope he takes it to him hard and finishes it early otherwise the longer it goes it plays into Sylvia's hand, Sylvia's best attribute is that he's so darn big compared to some of his opponents, Couture however wasn't intimidated by his size and kept pressuring the big man..

Saw Sylvia's rematch with the Pitbull Arlosky now that was boring, that fight was like 2 cur dogs circling each other neither one wanting to commit because both were scared of getting knocked out. Don't think I'd call anyfight Sylvia is in as fight of the year wouldn't spend the money on PPV again to see that big cur dog fight ...It will never happen but if they did meet I'd pay to watch and if it stayed standing I'd like to see someone like Kimbo Slice take it to him with some bombs. They should have a Unified Title Fight the winner of Sylvia vs, Fedor against the winner of Kimbo S vs. J Thompson that would be the Heavyweight fight of the year.

I'd rather pay and watch fighters like Anderson Silva, Roger Huerta, BJ Penn, F Griffin, M Bisping, Kimbo Slice, J Thompson, Pulver, U Faver

Chavo,

To expand on your point, how good would time be if he was 6"1?
IMO he would not even be top 10 material, but he is that big.

In K1 this is happening with Semmy Schilt, except for IMO he is
much more talented than Tim. If Semmy was 6"2-6'4 he would not
beet Aerts, Hoost or many of the other top guys as much.
Semmy is World GP champion 3 years in a row!

Tim not time...LOL

 

[GNguy]

No matter how long the fight goes on, Fedor is gonna kill him. In his whole career no one has knocked him down or taken him down. Comparing Fedor to some one is impossible because no one has come close to what he has done. He has been dazed before(fujita) but he still dominates those fights. Hes fought guys like tim before(schilt, choi) so he knows what he is getting into. anyone else planning on going to this? if you have never been to an MMA event, this is a good one to start at!!

Sorry to hijack the thread but heres the Affliction site....

I want to go but we are about 500 miles away and my son is too young.

My wife and I went to the first sanctioned MMA Event in California (Strikeforce) and we had a great time. My advice to anyone going, is to not wait too long so only the cheap seats are available. Sometimes you get what you pay for when it comes to neighbors...
