Ilove the “idea” of this card….. but every time I get TOO excited about a non-UFC event- it gets cancelled. This one has some big backers though. I think that it is an easy to predict card though….
Fedor by sub (no-brainer-even better if he KOs Big Tim)
I love the idea of Barnett vs. Rizzo… Barnett by ???decision
Babalu vs Whitehead is another good one, but Babalu should be able to tap Mike.
“IF” Rothwell and Arlovski fought, AA would smoke “BIG BEN’s” ASS.

I really would like to see a way for the UFC’s “top teer” of fighters to be able to take on the likes of Barnett,Fedor, or the rest of the MMA world. The UFC has proven in the past that their ability to pay top $$$ gets them the best…… but a promotion like Affliction could put an end to their “monopoly” on top talent. The UFC will have to cross promote to keep their title as the “true champion” of MMA. If they play their cards right, they could shut a lot of people up, but if they don’t prove they still have the #1 talent pool in the business, they could go under.

Sponsorship will be interesting but I think most MMA clothing companies will be still allowed to sponsor because they’re really a niche company and nothing else is really in the same market far as I know.

It is a great card if it can come together.

This is shaping up to be a really great card. I wonder what sponsorship deals will look like since it is being run by Affliction?

Rothwell denied it on the forums but he also stated Arlovski is still under contract with the UFC, which we know he is not (unless of course he re-signed which I’m sure we would have heard about). Like I said before, this is rumored fights for the card and is far from official. Just wanted to clarify that again.

The UFC had an exclusive agreement period with Arlovski but his contract was fulfilled with his UFC 82 bout. If this bout does get signed its certain that the UFC didn’t resign him as there is no way the UFC will support Affliction’s promotion and certainly not with a big name like Sylvia or Arlovski.

According to rumors the UFC is looking to cut down its roster of fighters, which White stated was over 200 in a recent conference call, and Sylvia, having lost two of his last three, was a casualty of the cuts and was released from the last fight on his contract.
