Videos: Danablog #2 (aka “Pinkberry Makes You Crazy”), Arlovski Thanks “Classy Fans,” + Mosley-Margarito
Andrei Arlovski comes home to Chicago and thanks his fans for their support after his loss, which he attributes to a stupid mistake. His cameraman, playing the role of the enabling sycophant, insists it was just necessary risk-taking, but Andrei knows better. He also tosses another jab...

Fedor proved that He owns their UFC veteran asses now! .... Yah mma-pro, but imagine Fedor on Steroids. lol. Jesus christ t...
Affliction Payouts Are as Ludicrous as You Expect, in More Than One Way
Affliction paid out a little over $3.3 million in disclosed fighter salaries for “Day of Reckoning,” pretty much guaranteeing that they’ll take a financial loss on this event, as we all expected. Naturally, the payouts include several head-scratchers and jaw-droppers, including $1.5...

Videos: "I Am A Fighter," Carwin Q+A + More
Above: Not only is Fedor Emelianenko a fighter (see the above video for verbal confirmation), he was also the subject of a New York Times profile yesterday. Maybe after Saturday night he'll finally start getting some damn respect around here. Below: Everything you wanted to know about up...

Video: Fedor vs. Andrei In-Depth
According to our current poll, about 75% of you think Fedor Emelianenko is going to beat Andrei Arlovski during their "Day of Reckoning" main event fight on January 24th. (Also, more of you think the fight will end with a no contest due to accidental cut than a submission win for Arlovski.) Th...

Freddie Roach Explains How to Beat Fedor
It must be nice to live in a world where you never have to worry about the armbar (I guess it's called). But I don't live in that world, and you don't live in that world, and Andrei Arlovski sure as hell doesn't live in that world. Can sharp boxing be enough to stave off Fedor's Hydra-like attack? W...

The Potato Awards: The Best and Worst of 2008
Fighter of the Year: Anderson Silva Thirty-six seconds. That’s all it took for Fedor to dispatch a former UFC heavyweight champ and earn himself a ride on “the big rollercoasters” in southern California. A more satisfying and complete destruction you shall rarely see.

The 5 Best MMA Events of 2008
Sure, the pacing was a little shaky, and the picture quality for the pay-per-view broadcast was kind of dark, and apparently some of you don’t think that Megadeth’s Rust in Peace is one of the most kickass records ever released. But you shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Affliction’s d...

Fabricio Werdum Faces Facts
“I‘m a free agent now. One of the advantages of leaving the UFC is the freedom of contract, which allows fighters to work with more than one event without any problems. That’s very beneficial. There are several possibilities now including fighting in multiple organizations. Affliction, Se...

More Bad Press For Affliction
Now don’t get me wrong, I find Affliction’s shirts offensive, too. But that’s because they’re ugly in a ‘when in doubt, use skulls’ kind of way and they cost five times what they ought to. But if they can’t sell idiotic shirts at idiotic prices, how is Fedor supposed to get paid? And what about T...

Ben vs. Ben: UFC 91 Edition
Fowlkes: As big and powerful as Brock Lesnar is, his chances to win this fight diminish the longer it goes. He has the classic wrestler-turned-MMA fighter problem. He can get a guy down and hold him there, but aside from some inefficient ground-and-pound, he struggles to put people away.

‘Big’ John McCarthy Returns to the Cage — But Not for the UFC
Speaking of legends coming out of retirement, revered trainer and first-ever UFC lightweight champ Pat Miletich will be facing Thomas Denny at the second Adrenaline MMA event, which will go down December 11th at the I Wireless Center in Moline, IL. Miletich — founder of the Miletich Figh...

Friday Link Dump
Dana White says Anderson Silva could fight GSP, but never B.J. Penn. (The Sun) Fedor could fight Arlovski next, or Barnett. Who knows!? (MMA Fanhouse) Chuck Liddell turned away from big shot nightclub, and he’s not pleased. (TMZ) Life after Lehman Brothers. (Wall Street Fighter)

World’s Most Overpaid Fighter Hoping for Raise
If I was Keith Jardine, I’d be fucking furious right now. Brandon Vera’s current contract — which began with his UFC 77 loss to Tim Sylvia — gives him a $100,000 base salary with a $100,000 win bonus, making him one of the highest paid fighters in the UFC. And what has Vera’s employer (and the fan...

Could Affliction Possibly Have Gotten Their Money’s Worth on Saturday Night?
Before his bout with Andrei Arlovski on Saturday night, Roy Nelson said he wasn’t completely sure who was signing his check. Now we not only know it was Affliction, but we also know that “Big Country” and Arlovski made a combined $580,000 to represent the clotheir-turned-promoter on CBS. T...
Kimbo Slice Made $35,714 Per Second
It’s an especially impressive take when you consider that the live gate from Elite XC’s Ft. Lauderdale show was only $826,000. The only other fighter on the night to match Kimbo’s total was Andrei Arlovski, who was also paid $500,000 for his victory over Roy Nelson, though Affliction picke...

Ben vs. Ben: Elite XC ‘Heat’ Edition
Fowlkes: Long term, neither Elite nor Affliction can keep up this pace without partnering up. But partnering up might only hasten their decline if they don’t figure out some way to consolidate their power. There are already too many cooks in Affliction’s kitchen. Talking to Tom Atencio in L....
