Affliction 2.0

[Matt]

pulling this out of the megathread so that it actually gets seen...big MMA night ahead. So what do we think boys?

* WAMMA Heavyweight Championship bout: Fedor Emelianenko vs. Andrei Arlovski
* Heavyweight bout: Josh Barnett vs. Gilbert Yvel
* Light Heavyweight bout: Renato Sobral vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou
* Middleweight bout: Matt Lindland vs. Vitor Belfort
* Lightweight bout: Chris Horodecki vs. Dan Lauzon
* Heavyweight bout: Paul Buentello vs. Kirill Sidelnikov


* Light Heavyweight bout: Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
* Welterweight bout: Jay Hieron vs. Jason High
* Featherweight bout: Bao Quach vs. LC Davis
* Featherweight bout: Albert Rios vs. Antonio Duarte
* Welterweight bout: Brett Cooper vs. Patrick Speight

Ill take Fedor by KO.

Barnett pretty easily.

Sobral and Sokou is hard to call. Ill say Sokoudjou without a lot of confidence.

Interested to see what Belfort has left in the tank (read: career), but think Lindland should cruise through him.

Horodecki looks to have amazing natural talent. Ill take him.

Little Nog v Matyu - not sure either. Nog deserves to go in favored, but I'll take Matyu anyhow.

Other than that, don't know much abut the undercard guys...

I think Arlovski has the skill set to beat Fedor, but won't do it. Fedor by TKO. The rest of the card is so-so on paper. Barnett's fight is a gimme; he is set up to fight the winner of Fedor-Arlovski.

Well that wasn't unexpected. Video link anyone?

Solid prediction, man!

How was Dan Lauzon's fight?

http://mmahacks.com/ quality sucks but wtf.

Arlovski glass chin confirmed

Andrei looked great and was outclassing Fedor standing up. I never realized how fast that ****** is. Fedor happened to get lucky with the right.

 

[Eason]

Fedor didn't get lucky, look at his eyes, he was looking at Arlovski's feet and as soon as he went in, BOOM WENT THE DYNAMITE.

Matt Lindland and Vitor Belfort's fight was crazy. I've never seen anybody get knocked out that solidly before, I'd like to see Vitor get back on the war path.
