I want ONE belt that matters...Fedor fighting contenders instead of a litany of UFC castoff's and rebels. I want people who know what they are doing running the shows. MMA is still in it's infancy. It will achieve all the things people say they want but really don't... like fighter contracts of millions annually...we'll i can wait for that AFTER MMA is legalized everywhere, is worldwide and is secure... in the meantime, let the UFC break the ground, earn the premium dollars for being the innovator (and not have T-Shirt guys try to be vultures and steal their thunder and endorse silly-ass crap like WAMMA when the UFC titles are plenty good and well enough) and ensure that a World Championship is just that... a WORLD Championship. When Affliction dies, it will be "good riddance to bad rubbish" If the other guys know their place and serve a role as a minor league feeder... then i will support them all... if they are pathetic vultures who got kicked out of the UFC for being greedy and who had no choice but to do their own fights to keep overpriced and super ugly goth and skull designs mildly relevant...then let them die the ugly death where their shirts will someday soon rest.

Really? How many fights has Affliction had ? I think we all know how this will end up. People don’t know how things are going to end up ? Really? How many fights has Affliction had ?

I love it when people refer to Atencio as T- shirt guy it's as if Dana White is making them talk just like a puppet.People really are very gullible they buy right into Dana's propaganda machine, because if you pay even a little bit of attention to any mma blogs most fans don't give a shit if any promotion succeeds except the UFC .

By the time they're done with Affliction and lose all their shit once again, same as with EliteXC,they'll be just like in the Springsteen song " you end up like a dog thatks been beat too much, til you spend half your life just a coverin up" Tshirt guys are gasping for breathe and showing the cracks in the foundation. Just wait for the UFC counterprogramming...probably something like Spider vs Liddel on Spike! Showtime really knows how to pick’em.
