The fact that they have the top 2 heavyweights in the world (Fedor and Barnett) on the same card should be enough to sell this event. Hopefully Barnett calls out Fedor after, and we will get that fight before the Couture/Fedor deal goes down.

Nothing irks me worse than waiting 5+ years for a rematch. Especially a rematch that is not based on a rivalry or belt. This fight was put together so Affliction could "promote/brag/hype up" two former UFC fighters who first met in the UFC octogan. Affliction is using every tie they have to the UFC and trying to benefit. Through those dependant actions I now see an even weaker side to this new promotion.
