Will Russia> America at Affliction?

Who else is thinking that Arlovski, Fedor and Aleks will destroy Americans at Affliction? Do you think the Americans will go "Boo" "boo" or USA!! USAA!! ???

I think that affliction will send a shockwave to many American fans and show Russian power, Many UFC fans will not understand what is happening, and there will be a lot of booing.

Do you think this is safe ? I mean Cards in the U.S have always been Full of "American Fighters" but Affliction is setting up for 3 Russians to beat up 3 Americans, Do you think that will go well with the fans? or will the this cause the fans to hate affliction?

I think this is a dangerous move by affliction, not many Americans want to see American fighters get beaten up on PPV

It might also go Brazil > USA. Besides Pedro & Negao, I don't see any of the other 3 Brazilians losing.

What's it gonna take to get this guy banned? And like someone already said, Arlovski isn't from Russia, he's from Belarus. Maybe all Eastern-Europeans look the same to you, that's not a good sign, a bit prejudice. I would never make an assumption like that, I'll give you an example. I'd never assume this guy was French, that's stereotyping, and sterotyping's wrong, mmmkay?

After reading your name, I've come to the conclusion you need to buy this t-shirt:
Brock Lesnar tattoo shirt

I've got that thread open in another tab, I'll get to it soon. However I support all fighters with tattoos on their chest, from Lesnar to GSP, they're all amazing.

Dangerous move? I think true fans of the sport want to see the top guys regardless of their nationality otherwise it's just a regional sport.

You know what, if it keeps the USA chanters away, I say get more Russians.

I think the Russian fighters (Fedor and Aleks, people already know AA) might face some USA chants and such at this event, but I believe that their quality will shine through and they will win the crowd in the long run. That is if they continue to fight here.

Way to go calling Russia and Belarus 3rd world countries. Besides, look at a per capita ranking to get a real image of olympic greatness. There are a lot of your "3rd world countries" ahead of the U.S.
