holy crap! Titos head is getting bigger!

Suprised its a ring instead of a cage

[deevlash]

Zuffa (who own the ufc and wec) copyrighted the cage and only let a few folk use it and they dont much like Affliction. I prefer the cage though.

[Chris77]

would have thought it is safer in the cage.

[deevlash]

Pride FC used a ring for years until they went bust, theres a lot of debate as to whats best. Cage for me, but a 4 sided ring allows the agressor to cut off into a corner a guy thats backing off.

[Chris77]

Do they get reset to the centre of the ring if it moves under the ropes? should be an advantage to good ground fighters if so

[deevlash]

they used to stand them up in the centre of the ring if they went under the ropes in Pride, not sure about here though. I notice they have 4 ropes in this ring though with 1 really close to the ground.

[Chris77]

This russian has a good chin, takin some punishment

[deevlash]

I think his ground game will be good if he trains with fedor, shame he hasnt been able to take him down at all.

Ooft big ones now!

[Chris77]

good call

[Chris77]

So how long has affliction been around? not heard of it before tonight.

[deevlash]

This is their 2nd show, the first one was in June or July last year headlined by Fedor vs Tim Sylvia (fedor won in 37 seconds). They have a lot of the best heavyweights just now, Fedor being the best in the world too.

they both have, soko just got cut from the UFC after a couple of losses, babalu got cut after he deliberately held a choke on a guy until he passed out despite the guy tapping and the ref trying to break the hold
