Affliction NEW! World 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. With each passing day, this promotion continues to expand, signing some of the most elite fighters in all of mixed martial arts. This organization, unlike their competition, is open to cross-promotion.
So, the dream fights that hardcore fans have always longed to see, will more than likely be fought under this company’s banner.

Nope, that is not for sure. I hope you are right, but no way is it "for sure" we'll have to wait and see if many in the US want to buy Fedor vs. Tim. I really hope they do, if they don't, then it really shows that people buy UFC PPV's simply because it is "UFC" not the fighters.

Great card especially for a promotion's first event. Some seriously sweet HW fights! Aleks vs. The Headhunter

Although this should be a huge money maker. I still believe that the majority of the PPV buys come from casual fans who know nothing outside of UFC. So I don't think it will be nearly as big of a draw as it deserves.
Edit: I was going to order UFC 85 but not anymore. This card looks way too good to pass up on.

I hope Affliction does well, but let's be honest, Tim Sylvia is the only really known name on there to the casual fan, and he's not known for his drawing power. I wouldn't expect impressive PPV numbers for this one, but one of those buys will be from my group.
The live gate should be more than solid, though, considering the location.

This is how I see it going as well.

I can not think of a single UFC card more stacked than this one.
