    Waste of potential. Fighting for Affliction sounds great for short term but terrible long term.

    How in the world could it be “terrible for the long term?”…what money doesn’t spend in the long term? Money can’t be used in an IRA for the long term?
    Or will he turn to dust when he is 25 or something?

    Explain.

    LOL… right on the $$ Doc, Horodecki has tremendous potential to be a future top 10 P4P fighter and signing with Affliction is great for him right now, the WEC or UFC will probably look to sigining him in the future.

    Yeah, while it doesn’t look like Affliction will even have a third show if the owner sticks by his “two shows and done if we’re not making money” statement, he doesn’t lose anything by signing with them.

    If they fold, he collects his one paycheck and goes on to UFC or EliteXC (if the latter is still around at that point). If Affliction succeeds, then it’s a solid deal.

    Good for him.

    Yeah, he gets his money and probably another win on his record. He is so young even if Affliction makes it 4 more shows and he fights out his contract he will have potentially put himself in a position where he can have his name as a must have for UFC, instead of a we would like to have.
