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.
Exactly. Both have their pros and cons. Seeing as how I've never fought in a cage, I will comment from a fan's point of view; you can see the fight better if it's in a ring.

I prefer the ring. I hate nothing more than 2 guys hugging for a full 5 minutes against a cage. The ropes seem to break up hugfests more quickly, and I like how fighters can corner people, which adds to more excitement. I will say that they need to reinforce those ropes better as it was kinda ridiculous in the Babalu fight. There never seemed to be as many issues with PRIDE so I don't know what was goin on.

In PRIDE they had like three guys holding the ropes though when they were up against them. At Affliction they just had the ref (I think). And they used to hit the fighters hands lol when they were holding the ropes and make them let go.

exactly. I think 2 more supports on the robes would have solved that. My friends were like WTF when it kept happening and i said what you said about PRIDE. Needless to say the LOVED the event. Turned like 20 ufc huggers into real mma fans tonite. I pimped Fedor out like crazy and he delivered.
How can anyone say 'Ring>Cage'...?
