Not much of a stream, more like a slow trickle.

There is nothing more ridiculous in this sport than the group pictures at Affliction press conferences. It’s like a contest of how many terrible shirts they can fit in one space.

Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if you showed up in the same horrible shirt as someone else?
Did you know we are in high demand, Laura?

Im pretty sure they all call each other ahead and plan out what they are wearing. lol

Luckily there are enough horrible shirts to go around.

didnt anticipate this much of a height difference

Tito is bigger than Fedor.
Fedor is a small guy. Now imagine what he did to 6’8 Sylvia.

This picture alone gets me excited for this fight. I wasn’t too interested initially when they announced it, but like most fights, the closer it gets to the big show, the more invested I am.

Fedor looks like he’s ready to close his eyes for a kiss…
wtf?
I bet he’s a closet serial killer – reminds me of fucking Hannibal Lecter.

He’s just sad that Affliction doesn’t make clothes his size.

Shopping at Baby GAP would give anyone that frown.

Has it started, is it over…whats happening? Just looks unorganized.

I saw them move around tables and then take pictures and then, uh, whatever this is.

You can feel the excitement in the air.
Can’t wait for the Affliction DOR card in a couple of days.
Remember, Banned will be showned on HDNet on Friday night.

Is that excitement? Feels more like I need to open my window, stupid January weather.

Ok, I will admit I <3 Fedor’s fashion sense. That sweater joins Anderson Silva’s pink shirt in the pile of awesome.

Best A Silva shirt is ‘I Fuck On The First Date’

Why is Donald Trump taking a picture with Charlie Brown?
by Zack Gobie on Jan 21, 2009 4:55 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Because Charlie Brown could kill everyone in the room if he wanted to.

If you’re not pumped for this show yet, check your pulse, because you might be dead.
by smoogy on Jan 21, 2009 4:46 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I hear you.
Theres a huge buzz in Southern Cali about the show.
by MMASuPreMaCy on Jan 21, 2009 4:52 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Hate to be a buzzkill
But you’d think a show with huge buzz wouldn’t still have blocks of ten tickets at their various price levels still available.
by LiuLang on Jan 21, 2009 5:10 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Huge buzz and people forking money for expensive tickets are different things.
Cheapest seat is 50 bucks, the same amount it is for the PPV, except in the Honda Center, you are touching the roof for 50 bucks.
by MMASuPreMaCy on Jan 21, 2009 5:28 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
The buzz is so strong that Affliction cant even give away the tickets…

I haven’t heard a word about it from anyone anywhere around here.

Kind of general. There is a big difference between San Diego, Temecula, LA, and Orange County, for example.
by MMASuPreMaCy on Jan 21, 2009 7:04 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
San Diego County, but I’m mostly referring to not having heard a word about it on any SoCal radio stations. The fact that nobody has personally mentioned it doesn’t mean as much.

I guess Radio not so much. Then again, I don’t hear about any UFC’s on the Radio either so i discount the radio. AJ’s playhouse on 93.3 will bring it up since he is a HUGE MMA and Fedor fan.

Right. But what is this buzz you’re hearing?

The sweater, actually.

Blasphemy, that sweater is awesome. Would you rather he be in an Affliction shirt?
by iiowyn on Jan 21, 2009 6:54 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Good god, no. But would a suit be too much to ask for a press conference?

Fedor and crew doesn’t take shite from anyone.
That’s why hes not in the UFC. He would leave any org that demanded him to take the sweater off. It’s probably in his contract.
by MMASuPreMaCy on Jan 21, 2009 7:06 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe the sweater IS an Affliction shirt…
by SamCupitt on Jan 21, 2009 8:32 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Nope. Not just because it has pastel colors and absolutely zero flaming/screaming/winged skulls, but mostly because somebody was wearing it outside of an Affliction press conference.

Probably the smell for one, he’s had that thing on all week.

I just saw that Horedecki is off the show now for failing a license exam..

If folks are curious, here’s the article.
by Rundownloser on Jan 21, 2009 8:51 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
thats fucked. Even more shit is how the CSAC never give out any details on why.
A source to the fight indicated that Horodecki is off the card after failing a neurological examination. No further information is available at this time.
by Benicio on Jan 21, 2009 9:18 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
They aren’t going to give medical information. It’s illegal.

Sherdog says it’s a bulging disc in the neck.
by Phildo on Jan 21, 2009 10:37 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
damn.
i hope for his sake that it’s something repairable, and he’s able to keep fighting in the future. granted, i’m completely clueless about such things, but it seems somewhat serious
by woooburn on Jan 21, 2009 11:16 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Horodecki’s camp has denied he failed any tests.
by smoogy on Jan 21, 2009 11:37 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
sherdog and 5 oz are reporting that it’s a bulging disc now.
If that’s the case, I don’t see why they would come out and say that instead of denying he failed a test.
by Phildo on Jan 22, 2009 1:00 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
A guy at my gym has been dealing with this for months, only his affects his left arm instead of his right. He still trains, but he’s in pain (some guys can just deal with that, and he and Horodecki probably fall into that category), but mostly he’s at about 50% strength in that arm. Individual muscles respond fine to weight lifting, etc., but as soon as it’s not iso exercises, the arm is useless. Props to Chris for trying to fight, but also props to the medical staff for not letting him.

Andrei makes Fedor look small. But of course it doesn’t matter.
by sure win on Jan 22, 2009 4:01 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
I find myself pulling for AA
not becuase I don’t like Fedor (seems like a very likable guy), but because I think I would like him more with a loss and a big can of shut up for his rabid fan base.
