AfflictionWorld renowned MMA clothing company, Affliction, reached into their pockets and pulled together an organization of top fighters, marketed & publicized by Affliction Entertainment VP, Tom Atencio. This organization, unlike their competition, is open to cross-promotion.
Moving the venue from the American Airline Center in Dallas to Anaheim pissed me off. I'm still debating getting plane tickets to see this show.
Fedor actually fighting decent competition (I'm gonna go ahead and pick the underdog on this one and go with Sylvia), Barnett gets to avenge his loss to Rizzo, Rothwell & Arlovski is gonna be a slugfest, Babalu wins via strangulation. It's such a great card! Can't wait to see it!

"When I hear athletes call themselves warriors, it does bother me a little bit. When I think of a warrior, I think of the Marines I've led in combat, those Marines that sacrificed so much...no showers, little food, no contact with their family, all for their love for their brother Marine and for their love for their country. That's a warrior, willing to lay his life on the line. I've had Marines that have laid their lives on the line for the man next to him, and for their family and country. That's a warrior. The guy who goes into some athletic contest who has no war experience, in my eyes, really has no right to call himself that. That's a coveted thing to call someone, and that's what I call my Marines. Those are warriors." - Brian Stann
