    Belfort vs Martin is a good addition to the card. Also its good to see Lil Nog back in action.

    Well it's at least as deep as UFC's best.

    This is a great looking card. If it comes off - Affliction could quickly gain some ground amongst the hard core MMA enthusiasts. I like it already!

    Yea, but to be fair, they are putting everything they got out there on the first card.

    Exactly, whether they can maintain consistancy and make money is going to be challenging.

    Good card but almost every fight is like 80-20 its obvious whos winning. I wish they would either A stick everything on PPV or add Tiger White-Little Nog and the Vitor fights on to the FSN broadcast.

    They might already be onto to something though. You look they got Vitor and Lindland there at 185 if they win there fights **** they might be matched up for the 1st ever Affliction Middleweight Championship. The Heavyweight divison could be on its way to some sort of tourney maybe Fedor beats Sylvia and fights Couture in the fall while Barnett-Rizzo 2 winner takes on Rothwell-Arlovski winner. You got Rogerio and Babalu already there maybe bring in Tito Ortiz and you got a legitmate 205 ib weight class in the making.

    I'm betting on AA but I think he might pose to a UD. It's hard to say how Rothwell will be against an A level fighter like AA
