But I certainly don't fault Hieron one bit for getting the most money he can for a fight. If Affliction folds at some point the UFC will still be there, or some other organization, so might as well get the money while you can. I would like to see him fight some good competition, which as of now he isn't going to get in Affliction. But hopefully they eventually either work something out to get him a good fight, or sign someone once they become a free agent.

Fighters going to Affliction are in for a quick pay day and a quick exit... can't necessarily say ya blame them though.

Affliction should focus on their heavyweights and try to dominate that division. They can bring in other weight divisions but there isn't really much point. Any decent welterweights who are not under contract to Zuffa should go to Elite XC - Jake Shields as recognized widely as top 10 if not top 5 at WW and anybody who doesn't sign with Zuffa should go after him. At this rate I agree with the above. Affliction is gonna be afflicted with the bankruptcy disease that's been spreading around mma. Such a mistake!

These guys will be like the IFL, they will be stuck without a fight or a payday or even a fight scheduled because of the fall of Affliction What are these guys that are signing to Affliction for a year going to do when they are out of business in a month or 6 months from now still waiting on a pay check and still waiting and wondering if they are out of business and they are stuck waiting to find out.

Oh wait, that's right, I forgot. The major exodus of all good fighters from all the other orgs to Affliction starts next week, right? So he can fight Mike Pyle their next three shows?
