Affliction is running it to sell Tshirts.. AA had alot of commercials too. You seriously bitching about this? Itll be alot easier for Fedor to fight big names in the USA if the casual fan knows who he is.
But it's quite alright for there to be "ANDERSON SILVA; THE POUND FOR POUND GREATEST FIGHTER IN MMA" commercials stuffed down our throats on Spike non-stop, right?
It's equally stupid but I understand why the UFC is doing it.
In the same sense that I satirize your silly deifying of Emelianenko (strange that you spin it as flattering "imitation"), the UFC respond as idiotically to the "Fedor is Alah!(sp?)" kock-swallowing with their own version of the silliness "Anderson is MMA's God".
Personally, I think its a silly notion to say Fedor could hang with Silva in a purely stand up fight(despite his size advantage)...Silva would murder Fedor standing -- Silva is no Tim Sylvia clutz.
Equally, Silva couldn't last 10 seconds on the ground against Fedor. He'd be sexually assaulted.
Now speaking purely in MMA terms, were it possible for Fedor to fight in Silva's weight class, I'm certain Silva would finish Fedor in the first -- don't shit your panties with rage at my blasphemy, IT'S TRUE.
Equally, were it that Silva could stuff his face on pork rinds for a couple of months to fight Fedor on his turf, Silva would be murdered.
Beyond sport, in a real fight, however, the faster fighter wins. There are no cages that limit your mobility, no rules about kicking a grounded wrassler/grappler, elbows over the head. I know whom I think would win -- despite the weight difference. He needs no mentioning.
Yet you fail to understand the exact same reason in it's application to Fedor being marketed. Both fighters need more attention from the mainstream MMA fan, and media in general. The Anderson Silva commercials I mentioned fulfill the exact same function as the Affliction Fedor ones. :dunno:

Don't give yourself that much credit, if you want satire, watch some Godard films and learn how to do it correctly. Poor imitation does not equate to elevated humor or satire, satire is fueled by intellectual wit, something you are clearly bereaved of. You are cheap parody, definitely not satire.

I'm not sure where you're getting that assertion from, as I've never stated Fedor would beat Silva standing. At the same time though, Ryo Chonan more than held his own, even out-countering Silva in their fight, so who is to say Fedor couldn't?

The faster fighter wins? That's probably the dumbest thing I've ever read. If there's anything you should learn about fights, it's that anything can happen. Kinda like how Daiju Takase and Ryo Chonan made Anderson tap like a little girl.
But yeah, I won't mention the fighter who has never tapped or been legitimately defeated
PS: Congrats on being banned, I guess people around here simply couldn't comprehend your cognitive brilliance.
I personally love the commercial, just reminds me everytime I see it how much of a better figher fedor is. Did you see sylvias face when he was tapping out? lmfao!!!!!
I thought the commercial was a genius way to promote a fighter who most people in USA have not seen fight. Fedor should be paying Affliction for the type of exposure he got on primetime broadcast TV tonight. On the flip side, Tim Sylvia is probably cursing them. LOL. I wonder if UFC will file a lawsuit or something since Randy's name was in the commercial.
BTW, I was about to neg SILVA>ALL but see he's banned. You guys beat me to it.
It was just a quick affliction commercial that showed the entire fedor vs tim fight... at the end it says Fedor will return, and gives you a link to afflictions site to buy tshirts lol
Well if it was k1 the larger boxing gloves would give Fedor problems - not sure otherwise what the typical kickboxing padding is - I assume though boxing gloves are the norm?...
He normally punches around the opponents attempts to block, larger gloves makes that a lot harder - or not possible: Perhaps, I mean it's all just supposition.
