Geile Fightcard!

[Rocco S.]

Oh wie geil! Babalu wieder im Blutrausch.
Sehr fette Fightcard.
Ich hoffe Fedor lässt sich ein bisschen Zeit, damit er Sylvia länger vermöbeln kann (als Strafe für die vielen langweiligen Kämpfe).

Hammer card aber noch so lang bis 19.07

H-a-m-m-e-r-!

Es ist quasi noch gar nichts klar. Affliction hat mit HDnet seinen Broadcast-Partner verloren, Arlovski hat noch lange nicht unterschrieben...

Die Fightcard wird seit langem gemunkelt...aber wieviel davon und ob das Event überhaupt stattfindet ist nicht sicher.

Mal abwarten ob sich das Label etablieren kann. Vielleicht der Anfang vom Ende des UFC-Monopols in den USA.
