Semmy Schilt should probably do something in MMA before we can talk about him beating anyone in the top 50.
The only person who we can fairly talk about him fighting is Antoni Hardonk because of their backgrounds.
Schilt would smash Tim Sylvia...![]()

He’s faced a bunch of nobodies and 3 studs, and not many in between. I give him some credit for…
Decision with Fedor
3rd rd with Barnett
9 min with Sergei
You can’t be a “can” and last that long with those guys…
Come on now...
Say what you want about Tim, but he’s only lost 5 times all to top guys, and he’s a tough guy to finish. Nobody has every dominated him like Fedor dominated him. I knew if Fedor smoked Tim people would start questioning Tim’s abilities…![]()

Nah...Ive just never liked Tim since his days of beating Arlovski.
Very fair and very balanced write up on the UFC and Affliction

In my opinion Ben Fowlkes is the best MMA writer around. He used to write for the IFL website and 5ozofpain. He is very unbiased which is so rare in MMA commentary.
Same here I can't stand that big dumb oaf tim!! Fedor did demolish him though.
The problem with Tim is
He is dumb
Goofy
And at best he is a average fighter who is just big
Exactly and he is so big that some people are afraid to take the fight to him.
if you haven't seen Genghis Con's Fedor video...

fedor and arlovski is in the works.
Arlovksi will give Fedor a tougher test than timmy, especially on the feet. but still a first round sub for fedor. maybe andre could make it to the second round. who knows.

Dave Meltzer reported that Tom Attencio will allegedly ask fighters to take a 50% pay cut to work the Las Vegas show in October. Zach Arnold interviewed Josh Barnett, and reports on his reply here:
Barnett replied by saying that he was not going to take a pay cut to fight.
In addition, when asked about whether or not he’ll fight Fedor, Mr. Barnett said that it’s not up to him as far as whether or not the fight gets booked. He wants to fight Fedor, but can’t worry about the politics surrounding why the fight hasn’t been booked.
I think everyone knew those salaries were unsustainable. While I'm very excited for the second Affliction show, I am tempering my excitement because Fedor's name has been removed from the Thomas and Mack Center's Affliction page, and we still don't really know if he's been signed to anything. I highly doubt Fedor's team will accept a pay cut.
Note: Fedor's name was on that page at one time, and now it's gone. That absolutely does not mean he is off the show, it's just something that was pointed out to me.
Such a buzz-kill...
Totally.
This is what happens when you try to do it all over night.
I know I keep saying this but why can't the f*ckers be patient and build up slowly yet surely?!?!?!
The promotion has talked with some fighters about doing the 10/11 show for 50% of what they made on the first show (cutting down the payroll) but in return they would give those fighters easy opponents.
W T F !!!!!!!!??????????
Affliction / Atencio = joke
I want Fedor - Arlovski god damnit...
I'm not sure they could make anymore bad moves if they tried.
I want Fedor vs Couture. It has to happen.
Thats pathetic!
