I know I've been away for a few days, but I'm back and ready to watch history unfold. I'll be liveblogging tonight's undercard results and I believe Michael Fagan will take over for the main portion of the card. So, expect results for the ENTIRE event, which means spoilers.
So join me back at 7 p.m. EST here as well cover all the action. And don't forget to hit that nifty Yahoo Buzz or Facebook button. We need your help to make this site a success.
Will Fedor continue to make history as the most dominant (heavyweight) fighter ever? Is tonight Andrei Arlovski's official ascension to the top? We'll find out tonight. See you in a few.
7:00 pm EST: And we're about to kick things off. I'm watching this on my new television in HD and I have to say, HDNet is seriously undervalued. This is a must-have for any MMA fan who takes comprehensive understanding of the sport seriously. Hats off to HDNet, but quit ignoring bloggers on Inside MMA.
8:46 pm EST: The baton has been handed off, and you're in the hands of Mike Fagan now. We're enjoying the pre-fight hype show, which is surprisingly well done. Haven't been paying 100% attention to it, but I haven't seen any specific mention of Yvel's checkered past. Also, during the undercard, the arena looked embarassingly empty. Hopefully Tom Atencio doesn't have to eat crow.
9:10 pm EST: I like the Pride-influenced introductions to start, but does it have to look like a third-rate version? It does get me psyched, and this is a nice little card, especially when you consider the free undercard fights. Also, nice to see Scott Ferrall getting more work...
9:17 pm EST: Looks like we'll get a nice look of hot babes at the fighter check-ins. Arena seemed to have filled up a bit, but there's patches of empty seats all over.

Imagine if this fight took place under the UFC banner?????????
It is hard to believe , but If Arlovski was still in the UFC and somehow Fedor fought AA under the UFC banner………This PPV would be the biggest to date, most likely.
I am predicting that this PPV does a little better than the first…..but nothing great. UFC 93 in Ireland probably did more PPV buys than Day of Reckoning will do
Just shows you what a powerful brand the UFC has built. I would bet if the SAME card was promoted under the UFC name the PPV buys would be one of the highest to date.
What do you guys think??
by fightfan on Jan 24, 2009 2:22 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I think if the UFC ever get Fedor, that card will be the biggest to date – no matter who the opponent is for Fedor.
I think this card will do less buys than Banned… Its sandwhiched between two UFC PPVs and at around $45 a pop, people really have to think of their wallets… especially when they can get it ‘other’ ways…
by constantin3 on Jan 24, 2009 6:01 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I agree. First one did around 100k buys, right? I’d say this one does about 75k, tops.

I don’t understand why you’d think Fedor would have the biggest PPV in UFC history when Anderson Silva couldn’t break 400k.
by cyph on Jan 24, 2009 7:18 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Andersen Silva is the perfect comparison because he sets the best case scenario in terms of his dominance. I think that hardcore fans overestimate the importance of being undefeated. The trinity of Chuck-Tito-Randy all have fairly embarrassing and/or devastating losses on their record.

Have you ever watched a UFC in the Honda Center?
This aint las vegas…
I suspect all the people who actually paid for a ticket (less than 5,000) to be in the arena soon.
The rest of the tickets Affliction “bought” and gave away – may show up later.

Well for Affliction
you also get massively overpaid. In theory, Afflictions acts as both the sponsor and promoter. Besides that, the exposure the UFC gives allows them to pay you less so Affliction has had to pay each fighter more….. which is why people complain about Affliction’s business model.

an image of a Baroni-esque entrace for Fedor
just flashed through my mind
im not impressed with your performance

That’s tough to score, possibly 10-9 for using Judo.

I;m watching HBO and they said Affliction paid Oscar a 5 million dollar fee to show up in Anaheim

They shitted on MMA, Larry was like it would take me that much to get me to go to one of those things

We’ll see how they feel when GSP/BJ II’s numbers come out

Larry..
will feel exactly the same way. The guy doesn’t like MMA, he’s old and doesn’t like it…fair enough in my eyes.

Well, if I’m going to climb up my dad’s ass every time I see him to give it a shot – which I do – then I’m not going to give Larry a pass.

Then why bother ragging on it.
If I don’t like something and it hasn’t affected me personally, I just ignore it. Doesn’t exist.

They weren't ragging on it..
when the DLH being paid thing came up. They said Oscar wasn’t there because he was given 5 mil to show up at the Affliction show…which isn’t ragging on MMA. Larry then said that it would take that much to make him show up to an MMA event…because he doesn’t like it. He is welcome to do that just like all the MMA fans who don’t like boxing shit on that sport. I’m just saying…not worth getting in a tizzy over.

Like I said...
with fighting Soko you just have to survive the first 3 minutes…it’s all downhill from there.

It’s hard to watch Soko. I think the dude has a ton of potential. He just needs to round out his game and use his damn JUDO.
by Cannon Jacques on Jan 24, 2009 10:26 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He needs to get away from Team Quest.
by Rundownloser on Jan 24, 2009 10:26 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
He used some Judo. He just needs to work more on his back and even more on his cardio.
by Pandanus on Jan 24, 2009 10:27 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
He uses precious damn little judo. Yes, he does need work on BJJ and cardio.

wtf…Soko didn’t even try stopping the arms…is it bad form to do that or am I missing something?

When they were in the North-South position why didn’t Soko tried to stand up. Use your knees to explode!
