Dude, there are so many goddamn MMA federations right now its getting ridiculous.
I'm always up for watching a good fight though so it doesnt really matter to me.
The Affliction clothing company that got popular through UFC fighters advertising their shirts started their own league now. Their first event will be on July 19th where they'll crown the first WAMMA (World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts) Heavyweight Champion.

Its Dave Mustaine. haha
And I had to go look it up because I know they pretty much all left recently.

Dave Mustaine - guitar, lead vocals (1983–2002, 2004–present)
Chris Broderick - guitar, backing vocals (2008–present)
James Lomenzo - bass, backing vocals (2006–present)
Shawn Drover - drums (2004–present)

I have no idea who those guys are.

David is his professional name. :mrgreen:

Hi! I'm Dave Mustang! Thanks for riding Twister the Ride!

hahahaha. oops...

Now that I think about it, I don't think this is the first time I've made this mistake on here. You've corrected me on this before.

the debut event from new MMA promotion Affliction is this Saturday.
UFC's free Spike TV event is also on the same night in hopes to sway some viewers away from the rival promotion.

Affliction's main event to crown the first ever WAMMA Heavyweight Champion was on Saturday. Apparently Fedor DESTROYED Sylvia. Here's a gif of the entire fight.

Now Fedor wants to fight Randy Couture.

Saturday is Affliction II.
I really want to see Fedor's fight. I watched a bunch of his fights on youtube and he was on O&A earlier this week. He may be the best fighter in the world. His record is 29-1-1 and the loss is only because 17 seconds into one of his first ever fights, he was elbowed (illegally) in the eye and the doctor stopped it. they didnt count it as illegal though. they thought a punch landed. sucks for him because he just destroys everyone else in his way.

Yeah im pumped for this too Fedor is a beast. And the guy he is fighting looks like Leonidas...any reason why he has fangs on the poster?

awesome

barnett vs yvel was pretty cool... barnett had him mounted all 3 rounds but couldn't knock him out and yvel eventually tapped
Fedor is walking out now and everyone is busting a nut about it

That was fucking weak....Arlovski has a glass jaw.

i said the same thing...Fedor looked a little slow IMO.

I think Fedor got in a lucky shot...Arlovski looked pretty damn impressive...til he got hit...way to go glass jaw Leonidas.

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** January, 25, 2009 - 1:34pm

Fedor has some hard punches though.
But yeah that looked embarassing for Arlovski especially since he was winning until that punch. In fact, I think that was the only punch Fedor landed. He's a beast though.

Nick · **Posted:** January, 25, 2009 - 3:46pm

Arlovski shouldn't have hesitated on the knee, it cost him big.

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** May, 29, 2009 - 12:04pm

Affliction announced the main event for their 3rd PPV.
FEDOR will defend his WAMMA title against former UFC champ Josh Barnett.
That will take place on August 1st.

Fedor is quite impressive. A lot of people here love him. In fact, they started cheering for him when he fought Choi Hong Man, one of Korea's modern-day heroes.

Barnett tested positive for something and may not fight Fedor next month.
