Talk about an unexpected find at 2am. Last night I was digging through my computer and I came across a near hour long recorded phone conversation. When I opened it up and heard some chick ask me for my ‘passcode’, I realized this was the infamous Affliction Press Conference that was held just two days before the entire organization collapsed. I spent the next 4 hours cleaning up the semi-corrupted audio and editing the press conference call to something that would be listenable. From what I understand, this may very well be the only recorded copy of the final Affliction Press Conference. If it is, enjoy this rarity and if it’s not, shoot me an email and let me know where another copy exists. If you’re a necrophiliac and a student of MMA history, you’re going to love this video. It’s filled with scary accurate predictions from MMA journalists (don’t worry, I gave you props in the video) as well as highly contradictory statements from a variety of sources. The MMA world was on Defcon 4 at the end of July last year. Couple that with OMA’s prank of Kimo Leopaldo that ended up as the lead story of nearly every mainstream media outlet and you have a community of people that was suddenly placed on ‘high-blood pressure alert’ by their doctors. Enjoy the video.
