AfflictionWorld renowned MMA clothing company, Affliction, reached into their pockets and pulled together an organization of top fighters, marketed & publicized by Affliction Entertainment VP, Tom Atencio. This organization, unlike their competition, is open to cross-promotion.
I noticed that too.. it's just learning from life and growin up, I've seen the same thing happen to other fighters and people I know. They used to run their mouth a lot, but they get sick of eating their words.. and realize it really is the high road to let your skills do the talking. Trash talk might be nice to hype a fight or get publicity, but it can play games with your own head as much as your opponent. Ortiz seems a lot mellower now too (aside from the Dana stuff), he actually gave Machida a ton of respect if you look at the whole pre-fight stuff.
Yeah, Ortiz has a lot riding on that fight. I'm thinking he already has enough pressure to win that one without having to add a personal aspect to it too. What's he doing once he's out the UFC? He's burned bridges there and I don't know what he's going on to next.

He'll probably go to EliteXC, where he will be paid a lot because of his drawing power.
On big Tim id also have to agree, he seems waaay more mellowed out nowadays which is a good thing. Mind you if he somehow beats Fedor he will gain some fans and some serious respect - dont see it happening though. I can imagine Fedor winning this and then having a fight with Randy on an Affliction card at years end. That would be huge also.
Im finding it hard to find a better card than this Affliction card - i just hope the production value holds up better then elite XC.

With Arlovski and Barnett in Affliction too, I'm not that excited about seeing Fedor-Couture, I would rather see Barnett-Fedor and Arlovski-Fedor TBH.
Is this going to be on PPV? I would pay 50$ to watch this event live on tv.

Fans didn't like Tim, not so much because he was an ass, but because he came across as weird. I loved that about him though. He said he would wear his belt to the supermarket, the idea of seeing him like that cracks me up. I respect that guy tons though. I would probably wear the belt to the laundromat if I had it.
