I have been waiting for this card for a while. Fedor is hands down the best fighter in the world. Aleksander Emelianenko is quite good too, he is bigger and younger than Fedor, but he looks exactly like him. I think Minotauro is on this card also.

Fedor could be quite rusty. Unfortunately I think Randy is going to be too old to fight him by the time he can. UFC is giving free fight night at the same time this PPV is on featuring

Aleksander looks out of shape a lot. I don't think he looks much like his big brother.

Fedor should win easily but the KO factor is always there. I will probably just watch the freebie fights.

That's what Dana is counting on. He hates them Russians. Arlovsky is fighting too.

I really like Babalu. Interesting to see Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira over here too.

Arlovsky was the poster boy for UFC for a while...he was one of the first guys that peaked my interest in MMA and UFC. I was a casual fan but never really followed it until Arlovsky was featured in Muscle and Fitness mag. (i think) and I started to follow him. He did OK for a while but got whooped a time or two but seems to be back on track recently. Is he OUT of the UFC then?

Dana had a big contract on him but wouldn't let him fight. He is out of the UFC.

D. White will be the DOWNFALL of the UFC. I would like to see a unifed "league" or whatever where all the guys from all MMA affiliates would fight each other. Can't we all just beat each other up freely?

Dana's ego is huge. He figures his organization has the deepest pockets and are the best promoters and there is plenty of fighters out there so he going to do whatever he wants. Problem is the fighters know he doesn't give a shit about them. That's making a lot of talent look elsewhere when considering their career.

ChiefsFanatic · 07-08-2008, 05:22 PM

I have only seen Fedor fight on youtube, but I am so sick of nuthuggers talking about how he would kill anyone in the UFC. I am not a UFC guy, but, especially on sherdog, everyone acts like he is a God.

They said the same about CroCop, they said the same thing about Wanderlai, they said the same thing about Shogun, but they all lost to UFC guys.

However, with Tim's ability to get subbed, even when winning, and Fedor's ability to sub people, I doubt Tim has a chance.

TrickyNicky · 07-08-2008, 05:32 PM

Anyone know if this is going to be $45+?

Whats even better is two days later, Dream 5 on HDNet with Aoki vs Uno and Kawajiri vs Alvarez. I'm stoked.

ArrowheadHawk · 07-08-2008, 05:33 PM

Good thing for Tivo and mininova. That will be a nice weekend for an MMA fan. I have never seen Fedor fight so I am quite interested to see him fight Silvia and to find out what all the hype is about. I sure hope the announcers are better than the other promotions I have seen. EliteXC isn't bad but it aint good. I just recently watched Strikeforce and I wanted to mute the commentary. Affliction should be good though with Big John and Bas Ruton.

I tried to download the last Dream from torrent sights and it just wasn't popular enough. Is the quality of those fights any good?

DREAM has been improving with each show. It started slow, but has become very good.

The Eddie Alverez / Joachim Hansen fight was a classic.
