Victor Belfort might be back! How can anyone not be begging to pay for this card? As much as Victor has completely trashed his MMA career (seemly intentionally almost), when he is "on" .. he is truely awesome. OMG! Victor Belfort might be back!

I thought the CSAC and NSAC tended to honor each other's rulings? “Cage Rage – even though he was still under suspension by NSAC is only likely to affect him if he applies for license again in Nevada.”

Imo, the bigger obstacle, will be using fighters like Sylvia, who is actually signed to Adrenaline. i'm sure They will be looking to use some of these same fighters on their upcoming cards as well. And i disagree with your assessment as to how well they can train for a specific opponent. Most fighters spend only a certain portion of their training camps focusing on those specifics. Though, i do see your point, and I agree, 3-4 months would be better, giving us 3-4 fights per year. It isn't about what I want, but what would make their promotion the most viable. #16, unfortunately, they are not in a position to wait.

Depending on how the fights play out, it wouldn't be stretch to see some of the same guys fight again in 2 months. Cung Le is a Strikeforce fighter, not EXC. He was shown on the co-promoted cards that SF and EXC did, but that agreement has ended now, unfortunately, though it looks as if HDNet is now showing Strikeforce cards and they be going live on NBC soon. I personally think that Lawler/Smith 2 will headline whatever EXC it is put on. #12, I think you may be getting to used to the UFC only having their guys fight twice a year.

Of course I want to see it but I am not sure many will be willing to pay for a reshuffled card. Considering how much I pay monthly for PPV already I think I would simply wait until the fights hit the internet the next day. Unless of course there is a nice long gap between cards. “But are you saying you don’t want to see Fedor/Barnett or Babalu/Lil’ Nog or AA/Aleks??”

One of the issues people have raised with Affliction is how are they going to sustain these fighter gaurantees. I think that has been answered with Donald Trump's involvement. This show is building up a lot of buzz because it has some blockbuster matchups. The aforemeantioned matchups like Fedor vs Barnett can be done on the next show. Throw in Tito, maybe at heavyweight. If they can put together a couple nice shows, it'll rock. I think the problem with the IFL is fighter recognition. Affliction is stacked with names that hardcore to semi hardcore fans all know and love, and they just keep stackin on more. I think it’s a great show.

But are you saying you don't want to see Fedor/Barnett or Babalu/Lil' Nog or AA/Aleks?? I think those are the far superior matches. IMO, Affliction is using the big names to draw the fans in, then intend to put on the bigger actual fights to bring them back. #6, Evan, like i said, hopefully they will add to it, and if they are serious about succeeding, I’m sure they will.
