UFC signs some big name Affliction fighters

The UFC has signed some big name Affliction fighter but not some of the biggest including two fighters that White confirmed a total lack of interest, former UFC heavyweight champions Andrei Arlovski and Tim Sylvia. "No. I have no interest in either one of them right now." Wow, Sylvia and Arlovski were big in the UFC at one time, but I think Silva has lost his drawing power after losing a lot of big fights, including to Ray Mercer in under a minute. Not sure why UFC doesn’t like Arlovski, other than they are concentrating of getting Fedor and do not want to deal with 2 Russians at one time…lol.

UFC President Dana White confirmed new homes for several fighters at his press conference last Friday.“(Former Affliction fighters) that we do have locked up right now, for sure, Vitor Belfort, Paul Daley, Ben Rothwell, Chase Gormley, Dan Lauzon, (Rafaelllo) Oliveira; and then guys going to the WEC, Javier Vazquez, LC Davis, Mark Hominick; and we’re in talks with all the other guys right now,” he said, reading off a roster of recent signings.

White has also said he is interested in talking with Gegard Mousasi, who works now with Strikeforce, Mousai will fight Renato “Babalu” Sobral for the Brazilian’s light heavyweight title on Aug. 15. Asked if he was interested, White said, “It’s a possibility.”

    I can't tell if this guy is serious or not about the Russians comment. If he is, he's ignorant, if he isn't it wasn't funny.

    He seems to be writing crap just to try and sell these crappy DVDs he's made with lots of traffic. Hell it might be working.

    The photos says it all - it must be a joke!

    What a clown this guy is Arlovski is from Belaruse and Fedor is from the Ukrane, get your facts straight and that pic tells me you are a real Douschebag. I would love to ground and pound this clown. Come to Sityodtong in Boston and fight me.
