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.”
