LUFAN Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Good fight card... horrible production... really bad announcers (except big John)... if they don't fix those major issues they will be done with in 3 shows.
HoopInsider_Cooper Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 It was their first big one...They have TRUMP $$$.
Gabe Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 It will not last. Affliction is a Tshirt company trying to run fights. It is like what UFC prez Dana White said, it is like White going out to sell tshirts.
LUFAN Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Posted July 21, 2008 I watched Dream 5 today and again they put on a better show than the UFC and Affliction. They may not have the talent but they are going to be the biggest competitor to the UFC.

It is like what UFC prez Dana White said, it is like White going out to sell tshirts. The show was packed with AWESOME fights and who cares if the production wasnt great I paid to watch great fighters put on great fights and I got exactly what I paid for. Im hoping the Affliction shows will help the UFC huggers understand and realize that there are VERY,VERY talented fighters all over the world who arent in the UFC.
LUFAN Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Posted July 22, 2008 What fights were you watching venom. The only fights that were really good were the final 3. The heavyweight bouts were he best. Affliction is a one trick pony. They used every fighter that they had in the show. Unless they sign some more fighters for the other weight classes their shows will not last. Since Affliction uses Wamma title belts not just organization belts, when are they going to sent the belts to Anderson Silva, Faber, BJ Penn, and Forrest... since the UFC's champion in these weight classes are the top of the MMA world. They do however have the right hw champ with FEDOR.....God that man is a freaking beast....

I think its WAYYYYYY to early to say theyre a one trick pony and that could have easily been said about the UFC in its early days(see Royce Gracie)....Its unfortunate that alot of the dream matchups we true mma fans hope to see will never happen but I think as Affliction grows so too will the different weight classes and talent they will offer. As for the fights, I too enjoyed the final three the most but it was really good to see Vitor Belfort,Lindland, and Babalu back, but then again maybe you and I view this a little differently... I was just extremely happy to see fighters other than the diluted TUF roster the UFC puts on at every PPV.
LUFAN Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Posted July 22, 2008 Well I think that Affliction has a 50/50 chance to make it. They are a lot like the WFA who had a great card and horrible production. I hope they continue and I really hope more people start getting to see Dream because they put on one hell of a show and they have great fights even though many of the fighters are not big names. I was really disappointing about Eddie Alvarez... He is going to be great. They also had a guy that fights at 138 from Uriah Fabers camp that looks AWESOME.... He destroyed his opponent.
HoopInsider_Cooper Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Affliction returns Nov. 8...Fedor headlines with an opponent to be named soon! Hopefully his younger brother will clear the physical.
LUFAN Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Posted July 22, 2008 I really hope they make it. Competition is always good. But they were so far in the RED on their last show I don't know how much of that they can take. FEDOR WILL Destroy either Barnett or Arlovski
UT#1 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 i dont think he will destroy arvloski.... idk about everyone else but the boxing style ring takes a lot out of it for me......
