I totally understand Hordecki going to Affliction. He could be one of the faces of the organization. Plenty of time for him to develop. Oops.. That's right this promotion might not be around long enough for him to develop. Well he'll just become a travelling MMa vagabond. He'll make many stops on his way toward real stardom on the biggest stage in the sport. If he develops........ This just business. I totally understand Hordecki going to Affliction.

The UFC is so stacked right now that I question whether he'd be competitive right away. But looking at the payouts in Affliction vs. WEC, it's easy to understand why he went to Affliction. And if that org. folds or he decides he wants to step up the quality of his opponents, I doubt the WEC would turn him away. UFC probably wouldn't either.

I think that would have been the best fit for him from a fan view. He has to do what is best for him but I believe that he would have a long, solid, successful career in the WEC. Affliction might be OK but it is too shaky. You dont know whether they will blow up or cave after a couple promotions. I really wanted to see him fight in the WEC.

For a guy like Hieron who has basically already maxed out his value, cashing in as much as possible right now makes more sense than signing a mid-level deal with the UFC. For Horodeski, he's so young that he can take a good payout now and still sign with the UFC well before his career has peaked. matt: stability makes more sense for some fighters than for others.

AFL/Affliction/Elite XC all seem to be on the way out. AFL/Affliction due to money spending and no money coming in. And Elite XC cause they haven't been able to create any viable stars outside of Carano/Kimbo and I really don't think people would tune in for Carano alone.
