    I take it the winner of this match will no doubt catapult themselves into the top 10 of the WBA

    Although MMA just loks like pub car park stuff to me there's obviously a degree of skill involved in the rolling around on the ground bit. So it doesn't matter how good you are at boxing, if you put somebody like Manny for instance in with MMA fighters at some point it's going to come down to how good manny is on the ground, and although he may be the world's second best boxer he may be rubbish at the ground bit. And you may have a guy like say Rocky Juarez who is not the greatest boxer but may be able to do the ground bit more effectively. Basically I wish MMA would just fuck off and die.

    When Kirkland and I agree on something it's scary but it also means MMA really sucks.


    Kirkland, what do you think of the tribal tattoo having, energy drink sippin', Affliction t-shirt wearing, douchebags who enjoy such "EXTREME" moves as foot stomping

    Can you imagine how massive that would be...


    Urijah Faber vs. Manny Pacquiao

    I think Pac would spark him out.
    Me too I think most TOP boxers could adapt to MMA but I'm not sure the other way around! I mean could you imagine if it was someone like Brock Lesnar vs Vitali in a boxing ring? 2 minute fight. Whereas the other way around I think Vitali's striking (as he is also a great kickboxer) would cause Lesnar hell in a cage too!

    So is this going to be on one of the Affliction and Golden Boy events or something?

    I think GBP is delving into it big time.Seeing alot of guys,Pavlik,Arreola,Margarito among others sporting the gear and in Chris's case,the same 'f!!!' it attitude in interviews lol.Matter of time before he's hoisting a energy drink can possing for the camera pretending to enjoy it .

    Merchant called out DelaHypa during the Mosley/Tony fight...saying he excepted a huge dollar amount (5 mil) for an appearance on a mma card for t-shirts ,etc.Co-promotions....seems the wave of the future?

    GBP responded and said there was no fee for the appearance. Why would you pay 5Mil for someone to sit at a show? Seriously ODH makes bank but why fight, he gets 10-20 for fighting and 5 for showing up to a fight. Sign me up. That's a ton of money for an appearance. Affliction don't make that kind of money to be throwing away.
