note sylvia and arlovski's paycheck...

I was thinking it was a typo on ur part until I saw ur comment at the end. How the hell is Sylivia getting that much money, specially over Fedor is beyond me. Specially since he lost in 36 f*ing seconds!

i think we already talked about this, maybe not.

Fedor got a HUGE HUGE amount of money at the signing of Affliction. He also has ALL rights to his fight footage's.

so he will get paid everytime they show clips of him fighting.

it's estimated that he got from Affliction about 1.3 Million

Wasn't the rights only for Europe or Russia?

But either way that is ridiculous amount of money Affliction payed their fighters. If they are forced by their fighters to pay similar figures then they could go out of business pretty fast. It also makes you wonder how much involvement Donald Trump has or if he weld support Affliction when they are losing money due to their fighter's payouts. I bet Dana White has to be loving the situation Affliction and EliteXc put themselves in.

Anybody see the last WEC event?

Things aint looking good for Rampage.

According to SI,Tito could announce as early tomorrow that he has signed with Affliction.

If Tim Sylvia got $800k for his first fight, I can only imagine what Tito will be getting. I dont know if Babalu is a good match up for him. Seems an easy win for Tito.

It wouldn't surprise if Tito would want an "easy win" (not that Babalu doesn't stand chance cause he definitely does) if the 2 were to the face I wouldn't care who would win. If Tito wins great you beat Babalu now who the hell are you going to fight next? I can't name another LHW for him to face. I can see him becoming the WAMMA LHW champ then great your champ in a division where the top LHWs are in the UFC.

If he loses than I will laugh at him. Actually I would laugh at him either way.

BTW thats a tough break for Rampage. I hope the couple just sues him and not ask for him to be brought up with some serious charges.

Hopefully they can build their brand to one day hopefully compete with UFC. Competition is always good.

As for Rampage, IDK, money comes second to losing a child. They probably aint thinking about the money. This is really gonna screw Rampage's head since hes a religious guy.

St. Pierre retained, Lesnar won, and Florian won.

vids?

I just found a round 1 video of the lesnar fight but it is hosted by youtube so they might take it down pretty soon. But its pretty clear that Lesnar won round 1, Hearing was dominated in this round and I'm going to guess it waas like this throughout the fight.
http://www.postchronicle.com/news/original/article_212163664.shtml

This site has rounds 1,2(?), and 3 of the lesnar fight. Any1 know about vids of St Pierre? I heard he was pretty dominant as well.

EDIT: The same site appears to have the GSP fight aswell and from I heard Dana White said that GSP will be fighting BJ Penn.

http://blog.ronin5.com/ufc-87-video-georges-st-pierre-vs-jon-fitch-video-clip/

Lesnar completely dominated Herring but he shouldve been able to finish him. Hes still green! He did got Herring real good with that right hand.

Fitch really surprised me. Before the fight, I expected a finish from Georges in late round 2. Good fight to Jon, but GSP is just a superhuman. I would love to see BJ vs GSP II as well.

Sidenote: Did anyone else laugh when GSP was trying to get his jacket on for like 5 minutes?

Lesnar was definitely more cautious in this fight. i was surprised that he didn't land more shots in when he mounted Herring. He also needs to improve his Jiu-Jitsu skills, I saw only one submission attempt from him . Though his main style is obviously ground and pound.

I hope that GSP vs Penn will happen this year around Christmas time. Would they make that a WW title fight? I hope GSP wins, I don't like BJ's attitude towards his opponents.
