I know this guy who is a big UFC fan so the other day I asked him "What are you going to watch this weekend? The UFC or Affliction?" He said "What's Affliction?" After I was done slapping him around the room like a furious pimp, I said "It's the show where Tim Sylvia is fighting Fedor." Luckily he knew who Fedor was because, if he'd said "Who's Fedor?" I would've beaten him to death with one of my shoes, right then and there.
Still, it just goes to show that selling a million shirts covered in skulls, flames and crucifixes doesn't make you famous. At least, it doesn't make you as famous as if you had your own reality TV show. So, even though Affliction has the better card, their marketing hasn't been as great as the UFC’s. However, if "Flava of Love" were to ever make inroads into the world of mixed martial arts, the UFC would have something to worry about. After all, what's more entertaining? Watching two dudes slug away at each other, while Dana White sits in the background, grinning and swearing like Lex Luthor with Tourette's Syndrome? Or seeing two fly bitzes throw down for a chance to suck face with Flava Flav and his unbrushed golden teeth? (That ain't plaque, baby! That's the karats! Yeeeeaaa! Booooyyy!) I think I've made my point.
Anderson "The Spider" Silva vs. James "Sandman" Irvin
The UFC hates Anderson Silva. Why else would they send their 185-pound champ up to 205-pounds to fight Irvin, a former heavyweight with KO power in every tattooed tentacle on his body? Is that something you do to someone you love? Because I've heard the whole "If you love someone, set them free" thing but I've never once heard "If you love someone, make them fight a monster." Have you? That just doesn't make sense. Irvin once sat beside me at a UFC. It was right after he KO'd Terry Martin with a flying knee that would've stopped a 747 dead on the runway. As he brushed past me to get to his seat, I asked "Dude, did you kill that guy?" and he, without smiling even a bit, looked me right in the eyes and said "Maybe." Then he went and sat down. To this day, that is the fourth most terrifying thing I've ever heard someone named James say. Even though Silva hasn't mastered English and according to recent reports has a weirdly high-pitched voice, he's said plenty in the Octagon, including "Boom!”, "Pow!" and only once "Shazam!" That was the fight against Lutter, by the way.
Now, the question is, who takes home the gold? Most people agree that Silva will likely KO Irvin in the first round, in a modern day David vs. Goliath showdown, except afterwards David will dance and play air guitar; although there's no solid evidence to indicate he didn't to that before. Still, Irvin could knockout a rhino; which is easier said than done, even taking into account how easy it is to sneak up on rhinos because of their poor eyesight. Assuming Silva doesn't go into the fight blind in both eyes due to an allergic reaction to a pre-fight banana martini, he should be able to avoid to man-swatters of Irvin and KO the giant with a well-placed punch. And then he will dance. My Guess: Silva by KO.
