Affliction was stuffing staggering amounts of money into these guys pockets. They just didn't promote or market the fighting product good enough. Strikeforce a great product. I hope they are able to succeed. Hell even Dana likes them lol And yea I think the kid gave me a strange look and may have thought I was gay with the whole Pride thing lmao Exactly!

It was insane. $800,000 for Tim Sylvia to get KO'd...$1,500,000 for Arlovski to get KO'd. There was no way they could survive long term with that business model. Strikeforce seems to be doing things the right way however. Did the kid look at you like "What the hell is PRIDE?"

Both Affliction shows were tremendous and the 3rd looked like it was gonna be great too. I really like variety in mma and with Affliction goin down I think it hurts the sport. Everywhere I look its UFC this and UFC that. Some kid saw me carrying my training gear and asked me if I train in UFC to which I said no I train Pride FC =-/ It’s sad that this had to happen.
