Yo MDS... Will there be an Affliction live blog?

No. I'm on vacation and unable to get the Affliction pay-per-view, so I'm just watching UFC tonight. I'll watch Affliction tomorrow, and on Monday we'll have a live chat of all the weekend's MMA action.

In the first Affliction fight, Paul Buentello beat Gary Goodridge by unanimous decision

I like watching Tim Sylvia fight. It's not polished, but it can be very effective. And he's not likely to go running his truck into other vehicles and leaving the scene, like some other recently-touted UFC star that we know.

And both Anderson Silva and Fedor--unperturbable. Neither man loses his cool, even if something doesn't go their way for a moment, just turns it to their favor. Their psychological game is right up there w/ their physical game.

Well Dana tried to sign Fedor so he does want him. Anyway if Randy fights Fedor he would have to be able to handle Fedor's submission attempts, Mirko actually succeded in doing this but if Randy doesn't fight him than Josh Barnett would be the logical choice

nobody has actually ever beaten Fedor that one loss he has on his record is decieving because it was a tournament and someone had to advance and his opponent accidently opened a gash over Fedors eye so he could not see but normally that would be called a no decision but since it was a tournament someone had to advance so they gave the loss to Fedor so
