Fedor is going to bring Affliction to it's knees. They can't afford to be dishing out huge percentages of their income on fighter salaries. They gave him so much money that he is the only "big name" they can afford. I would love to see someone compete with the UFC on a regular basis but it probably isn't going to happen any time soon.

I don't know, Fedor has said this is his last contract (rumor), he said a while ago that he has nothing left to prove to anyone. I think the most clamored about fight was Fedor vs The natural, but it never happened. I don't see how they could promote Fedor vs Lesnar anymore than they pimped Fedor and Randy's "dream fight".

Dana will never pay Fedor what he wants IMO. I think he still feels the sting of giving Cro-Cop a bunch of cash.

The only reason why Fedor is still fighting is because he is making a disgusting amount of money. Fedor is in that point of his career where no one is going to beat him, and he wants to get paid a lot to fight. He doesn't care about the fame, he isn't going to fight if it isn't going to thicken his wallet. Dana is a cheap bastard, at least Wandy has been competitive in his fights, unlike Cro Cop. Once again good points raybec.

fedor's contract is to M-1 global, not affliction. M-1 subcontracts him out, and to the "nothing left to prove point" then why did he insist that M-1 put a clause in his contract that M-1 has to offer the current ufc champ a couple of million dollars OVER his TOTAL ufc contract for the one fight

Here is my take on GSP vs. Penn: it's about as even a matchup you get in MMA. I feel that if they fought 10 times it would probably be 5-5 or 6-4. I guess for my money GSP will be the favorite because of him being a more natural 170lb'er and he has made great strides in his skills since the last time these two fought. Benn is a world class jits guy but GSP's skills are really under-rated. Penn showed in his last fight that he can stay standing up and still win with some excellent boxing type skills but I would give the edge standing up to GSP. There is NO WAY this fight goes the distance in my opinion. None. I'm a GSP fan as well as a Penn fan but I favor GSP so the perfect scenario for me is for GSP to submit Penn, the jiu-jistu master.

I just want people to stop wearing Affliction shirts that are two sizes too small. Although, it will be harder to spot overcompensating douchebags once they are gone.

I will admit that I bought one of those shirts a couple of years ago but I will also say this in my defense: I DID buy the correct size but they make them babies 2 sizes too small on PURPOSE! I never wore mine because is DIDNT FIT!

I would love to see Fedor and Brock fight. it will happen one day, bank on it.

White and Trump may have to make some sort of deal......but that would be a fight for the ages.

That would be a huge upset, BJ is one of the best jits guys in the country. I can't see him getting submitted, pounded out maybe, but not submitted.

Stacked card, can't wait.

I think the key factor in the main event will be BJ's stamina...I can see this fight easily going 4 or all 5 rounds. Will he gas? Remains to be seen.

Either way, the fight is going to be amazing.

I know, THAT is why it would be too cool.

No, good reason being that he is better.

I can see both sides to this argument and it will only be settled in the ring. GSP is favored because he is the current champ, is at his NORMAL weight and vegas KNOWS everyone will be betting on him.
