So Affliction has a STACKED HW Division....

This looks alot more promising than M1

I wanna see more of their MW, WW, and LHW roster before I get overly excited.

This certainly puts to rest the question of who's going to be dumping money into the promotion. And thats all MMA requires, money. Right?

I am assuming we will soon see a Tito sighting with Affliction now that his BFF is partnered with the promotion.

Holy crap! That awesome news! I can't wait to see Arlovksi kick some ass!

Imagine the possibilities of being able to see some Arlovski vs Emelianenko or Arlovski vs Barnett fights! Eventually Couture will get thrown back into the mix as well.

Let's hope they do this right. With the top level of fighters (and experience) I'm just going to make the assumption that it's going to be awesome. I'll be shocked if it delivers anything less than greatness.

Anybody know what time the press conference takes place?

Trump has more money the Ferttita"s, right? We could very well see a formidable opponent to the UFC. Great News!

I think people have the image stuck in their head of the old AA, when he actually lived up to his nickname. He is completely unappealing to me right now.

Competition is always good! Trump backing Affliction makes me think now that they will probably be around for more then one PPV. I for one am most def. going to order the Affliction event, and in my opinion anyone that truly loves MMA will do the same cause it one heck of a card. If only I lived in Cali!

I thought Affliction was going to be a one card type of thing and not a promotion. Is there anywhere good for information on this card/promotion.
