Was an event that we’ve been waiting years to see. The PrideFC fan in us all couldn’t help but feel that Affliction is the way to go. Pride values, Unversal Rules. Superb.
So, there it is; Affliction was able to deliver on the hype (and then some!) and Fedor is indeed a machine. A very, very dangerous machine. Tim Sylvia has has gone on the record saying, “I’ve never been hit that hard before… …he’s not human.”

That has to be the one and only time I have ever felt sorry fot tim. I actually though fedor was gonna kill him! What a card. Please let this not be a one hit wonder!
Was superb. Very much doubt that it’ll be a one hit wonder. Fedor has silenced his critics over and over, a one hit wonder he’s not. If we’re talking about the show itself; then let’s consider a simple fact – The Donald has invested in it. He doesn’t do “get in get out” on something like this. The man’s a megalomaniac with more money than god.
He’s building an empire and he sees “the fastest growing sport on the planet” as something he’d “like to be a part of”. For “be a part of” read, “own”.
Shane could you please inform me as to what megalomaniac means….we’ve been through my intelligence when it comes to the english language!!
Good old Fedor…i wreckon that Derek eventually copped on to the outcome after your subtle remarks during training last night!
LOL.
I was going to write; “A megalomaniac could be defined as a pathologicial egotist”.
Then I realised… …that probably isn’t going to help!
So, I’ve gone with these from Merriam-Webster:
Megalomania;
1 : a mania for great or grandiose performance
2 : a delusional mental disorder that is marked by feelings of personal omnipotence and grandeur
Happy to help sir. Linguistics isn’t really my strong point but google is..!
You’re right Jay I did guess the result from all the prompting but it didn’t matter cause its not like I had to wait long to find out once the bell rang.
Jesus that guy is scary. It was funny that Tim Silvia was still in the ring at the end listening to Randy and Fedor talk about what an honour it’d be to face each other. He must of felt so insignificant. The two of them killed him in both their fights. Only difference is that when Randy dropped him inside the first minute he didn’t finish him.
Couldn’t help myself…
Haha Genius!!!!!;-)
