Affliction: Day of Reckoning Hangover

Picture_1_medium

some thoughts while I recover from my Day of Reckoning Hangover...

- Was there ever any doubt that Fedor would win? After all, Fedor defeated Tim Sylvia, the man who beat Arlovski twice and stole his girlfriend, in less than a minute. In fact the power Fedor demonstrated way back in July of 2008 was repeated last night when Fedor knocked out Arlovski. Sorry Belarus, but Russia wins again.

- Why was Tito Ortiz pronouncing Fedor's name, fé-a-dor?

- Freddie Roach was both right and wrong. Arlovski's stand up did look incredibly sharp, his hand speed was tremendous. Initially it looked like Fedor was bothered by the quick jabs in Arlovski's arsenal. Yet the fact that Arlovski was knocked out in such a violent fashion nullifies Roach's previous comments.

- Call me sentimental but it is nice to see Big John refereeing again

- Gilbert Yvel didn't bite off an ear or do something crazy and that's probably why he lost to Josh Barnett. Oh well, now Michael can finally get excited to see the Barnett Fedor fight.

- I love the Junkie's play-by-play because it features reports on how full the Honda Center was. You know when someone is blogging about how many people are you event, there might be some issues with your promotion's viability,

- Was Keith Jardine sent to Affliction by Dana White to counter promote, DX style?

- Can Sokoudjou please stop losing via submission? Seriously go to a Jiu-Jitsu class! I am sick and tired of being at the bar talking this fighter up and he keeps losing. I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU, SOKOUDJUO! On behalf of Heath Ledger I will accept the academy award.

- Don't worry Tito they aren't saying "boooo", they are shouting "boooo".

- Apparently Matt Lindland did not take his recent electoral defeat very well, considering he was knocked out in 30 seconds. If this isn't a bad omen for the Republican party I don't know what is.

- Holy shit Affliction actually sold a lot of tickets. Well strike that, we won't know for several days what the live gate actually was, but it looks like Fedor can be a U.S. draw if he is in big enough matches.

- Jay Hieron knocking out Jason High was like a nice palate cleansing course after a rich meal.

- Why was Tito Ortiz pronouncing Fedor’s name, fé-a-dor?

I think he was trying to go with the actual Russian pronunciation, which is more like “fee-oh-dor” (Fyodor Yemelyanenko). Probably not the best idea considering how much trouble Tito has with basic English.

- Freddie Roach was both right and wrong.

He was absolutely spot on about Andrei’s hand speed, but he’s crazy if he thinks AA could have a legit boxing career with that chin.

Also, I’m glad Fedor won but it sucks that Freddie now owes that frosty-tipped douche nozzle Millen $5,000.

Yes. And he, Herb and Doc Hamilton all did great jobs last night. Viva CSAC!

I never want to hear or see Tito Ortiz in a commentating capacity again for as long as I live.
