Ozzfest: Metal legend to perform at Affliction ‘Day of Reckoning’

 

Affliction Vice President Tom Atencio has announced that Heavy Metal legend Ozzy “When Doves Cry” Osbourne will perform live at Affliction “Day of Reckoning” on Saturday, October 11 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

 

Much like fellow Affliction endorser Megadeth did at the promotions July 19 ‘Banned’ event, the Ozzman will look to rock the Vegas audience and viewers at home at varying intervals throughout the night.

 

Also like Megadeth, much of today’s generation may be scratching their heads over Affliction’s choice of talent.

 

That’s to take nothing away from the Grammy Award-winning Osbourne, who re-wrote the book on Metal with the landmark albums ‘Blizzard’ of Ozz’ and ‘Diary of a Madman’. I guess you can also count his stint with some little-known group named Black Sabbath.

 

But Ozzy, who’s starting to look like a cross between The Undertaker and Yoko Ono, will turn 60 in December. While you can make some concessions in the studio like he did on 2007’s excellent but toned-down ‘Black Rain’, a live performance is a whole different story.

 

And MMA fans are not a patient bunch. Some will boo any fight that doesn’t have action in the first 30 seconds and Ozzy does have a tough act to follow after Megadeth’s mediocre reception at Affliction ‘Banned’.

 

Overall I’m not opposed to Ozzy’s appearance, maybe just a little surprised that someone in the target demographic isn’t carrying the torch.

right now brock reminds me of an overgrown sean sherk but

 

brock needs to learn how to finish fights

 

he's looking like the L&P prince out there, he's talented for sure, but he has to learn how to finish

 

brock vs. werdum will be a bad day for brock

 

brock vs. kongo will be fun

 

I'd love to see brock vs. sylvia if they can somehow find a way to make that happen

[overman]

right now brock reminds me of an overgrown sean sherk but

 

thats because brock trains with sean sherk @ minesota martial arts academy.. actually the game plan there is make brock look like an overgrown sean sherk. i remember during the post fight promotions for the frank mir fight people around brock are saying that brock moves like sean sherk already..

 

sean sherk's base is wrestling also but he is much well rounded and well versed.. syempre mas matagal na sya sa mma.. mas malaki lang talaga si bj penn sakanya kaya d umaabot suntok nya kaya ayun gulpi sya pa job job lang si penn.. by the way, i am one of those who doesn't think sean sherk took performance enhancing drugs (intentionally) the man is an animal in the gym...

brock vs. kongo will be fun

 

+1

 

i would love to see brock take down kongo and batter him silly

[riceb0i]

Sean Gannon against Kimbo. haha you can't baby Kimbo a lot more than that. IMHO Brock would dominate him if they ever were in a ring or a cage together.

i saw a picture of Sean Gannon, he looks like a taller Mark Kerr nowadays

Yup Yup I did not think he took any steroids intentionally too. And I agree the Muscle Shark's Training Methods are second to none in MMA. Jungle Training right? or was it 'Caveman' Training I think he called it.

So Mark "the Machine" Kerr looks like a "fattie" now? :upside:

They call it the Caveman workout! Both Brock and Sean Sherk does it. And I also agree that Muscle Shark may not intentionally took steroids, he was using a supplement of Xyience back then that eventually got pulled out from stores coz of athletes testing positives. Now Xyience or "Bavaria Magica" is bankrupt thats why you dont see it on the Octagon or sponsoring fighters anymore... :thumbsdownsmiley:

caveman training is just part of what these fighters do. They won't openly show what they really do in front of the camera

yeah, check out his last fight with Oleg in Yamma Pit Fighting, weird octagon and old dudes from the UFC

 

he got caught in a beautiful kneebared by Oleg, and to think he was dominating Oleg with his takedowns and trying to land some GnP

 

same mistake i saw Brock do in that Mir fight, but Oleg's kneebar was f#&king fantastic

Oleg by Kneebar. Takes you back doesn't it?

[Larry]

oleg is the real deal

[riceb0i]

last time i heard Oleg was doing some movie bits, they say he is good at portraying the silent russian enforcer ahehehehe.

if i'm not mistaken he's in the movie death and life of bobby z

[maddromeo]

Yeah! Oleg did some character roles in Hollywood! He was the russian mafia guy that got chopped into pieces by the cubans in Bad Boys 2! Hehe... By the way in Yamma they used an egg shaped cage that has a 45 degree slope going to the fence to make takedowns harder when you push your opponents to the cage!? And they had a 8 man heavyweght tournament ala oldschool UFC!!! :sleepysmiley03:
