What if BJ Penn was injured a week before the GSP fight? The UFC would be in the same position.
Yet 100 events later hasnt happened.
AGAIN you dont market around a guy or name. You market a brand. Thats why NFL stays on top and NBA sunk to misery after Jordan.
Numerous times Main event participants have suffered injuries. They find replacements.
So again we have Ken injuring himself right before a fight and Kimbo getting KOd by a nobody.
Now you have Barnett fucking everything up for everyone by getting caught roiding.
If affliction goes under thats 2/2 with the same Fn story.
For as much shit as they catch for shady business Pride at least knew wtf they were doing in running a fighting org. These ass clowns like Affliction are clueless.

you seem happy about this, very strange
Just seeing you eat crow for the second Affliction event in a row.
MMA fans lose out when clueless people get involved in the sport. This is another black eye on mma from an 'outside' organization. Main event cancelled and organization goes under because of roid test. MMA doesnt need that shit.
By my count
Pride = Mob ties
EXC = Kimbo wagon derailed
Affliction=One fighter pony.
UFC is the only thing pushing this sport mainstream. Knock Dana like a tool all you want but the guy has done wonders for MMA and is always at least attempting to put on the fights people want to see.
All the other shit people knock him for has nothing to do with us as fans. Its the fighters and there lack of a union. You want fighters not to get hosed , or get more money or not get pushed out or have options etc... then get a Union.
This is bad news for MMA and once again the bad news isnt coming from the UFC.
