Dana > Jared all day!
It might hit hard if it was a bigger fight for AA...Hes going to be much quicker than Nelson and I think once it hits the ground, AA will dominate.
Saying AA v Nelson is going to be a big deal...PFFFTTT you call yourself a booker
AA v Nelson would be a big deal. AA v Big Foot would be a big deal. Maybe Wayne Cole v AA, maybe AA v Kimbo
I just dont think this fight is earth moving.
It might be bad if Nelson catches AA with a hook and gets a tko win and the Shaws could shove that in the face of Dana
Original plan was for AA v. Barnett?
Kind of rough if, as a result (injury, loss), AA misses out on a No. 1 contenders match with Barnett, or title shot? Will WAMMA be there too?
Hits dana hard yea LMFAO. The Ufc clowns these fools everyday, and no Org is Ever Ever going to surpass The UFC!
Every other MMA ORG compared to the UFC, is like the arena football leauge compared to the NFL.
jeez...not sure why Jared willingly makes this into an EliteXC vs Dana White issue. the reporter didnt ask "how do you think Dana White feels?" Jared talks about Dana for no reason at all. i'd love to see EliteXC have a great future, but it seems petty to engage in this type of dialogue.
Arlovski is a star and his match up with Nelson is a fun one. just leave it at that...without talking about Dana White.
They shouldn't let Jared out of the house without a muzzle on.
$kala is an idiot. And I don't see how it hits Dana hard at all. If anything it shows desperation on the part of both Affliction and Elite XC. I am looking forward to the Arlovski/Nelson fight though.
This matchup adds some meat to the Oct. 4th Show; I like it!
Now we have Shields/Daley
Radach/Ninja and now Arlovski/Big Country.
Big Country imo is better than Rothwell which could make for a very entertaining fight because like Rothwell, Roy will fight hard but with better cardio and ground game.
Yes, the belly laugh hits Dana hard when he sees all these would be competitors shrinking and desperately scrambling to stay afloat.
my favorite jared moment was when he was on inside mma making bald jokes about dana white while sitting between kimbo and bas

Hes prolly been hanging out with Shamrock lately
Why try to compete? You try to compete with the UFC you will lose money. If you want to help your cause just put fights that will those in your EXC or Affliction or whatever org fanbase that will like. And slowly you will gain more fans.
Just put on entertaining fights and the fans will come. Better yourself not better a rival company by trying to be like them.
PatrickFreitas - jeez...not sure why Jared willingly makes this into an EliteXC vs Dana White issue. the reporter didnt ask "how do you think Dana White feels?" Jared talks about Dana for no reason at all. i'd love to see EliteXC have a great future, but it seems petty to engage in this type of dialogue.Because Jared WANTS TO BE DANA.
Arlovski is a star and his match up with Nelson is a fun one. just leave it at that...without talking about Dana White.
Mssr. White has fucking shit all over our sport and made it a place where "Face of the Company" promoters are covered more than the fights/fighters........creatures like jared are just a symptom of Dana White-itis.......

Roy moves like a 155 lb. kid... he just sweats more;) Hard not to like him because he brings it.

Kelly and Gina will be the FOTN!
Cindy
lol at jared shaw.... gonna be an entertaining card.... but they need to realize that they are not threatening the ufc for supremacy
So two organizations that are losing a ton of money independently are going to get together and cause problems for the UFC? Not seeing it.
Looks to me that Arlovski was pissed as hell not having another million dollar fight in October, as Affliction promised, so Affliction went looking for yet another promoter to help them out.
Nice pick up for Elite if/when Affliction goes under and if they are still around to capitalize.
"We haven't spoken with CBS officials if the time slot will be extended but I can guarantee you that all five fights will air in their entirety. "
How can he "guarantee" all five fights will air if he doesn't know if the time slot can be longer than 2 hours?

easy the fix is in for kimbo and ken so that fight will last longer than the cantrell fight but less than the tank fight.
