With each passing day, this promotion continues to expand, signing some of the most elite fighters in all of mixed martial arts.

Ambrose (9-1) and Mike Pyle (16-5-1), who were originally scheduled to face Patrick Speight and Brett Cooper (respectively), will now fight each other.
The "Banned" event takes place July 19 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. Longtime PRIDE heavyweight champ Fedor Emelianenko meets former UFC title-holder Tim Sylvia in the night's main event.
Belfort, a former UFC light heavyweight champion and the current Cage Rage light heavyweight title-holder, had suffered three consecutive losses in 2005, which resulted in a departure from the UFC. Since then, though, he's 4-2 and will now go for his third consecutive victory. However, he hasn't fought since a September's Cage Rage 23 event, where he defeated James Zikic.
Martin, who was recently competing in the UFC, suffered losses to Chris Leben and Marvin Eastman, which snapped a four-fight win streak. Martin recently made his pro boxing debut (with a first-round knockout) and is also scheduled to meet Daiju Takase this weekend for the debut Adrenaline MMA show

If Belfort is anywhere near being in shape and has been training then he should light Terry Martin up.

This is going to be the first Major MMA event that I'm going to and every day they make the card that much better.
I've been to one low level local MMA event, but it was nothing compared to this.
I had better get an extra memory card for my camera. With so many top guys, I might run out of picture space.

Sick card. Absolutely FREAKING ridiculous.
Gets better every day. I just hope AFFLICTION has a plan for future shows, especially sooner than later, cause they're featuring ALL the big guns on the first event.
If Belfort is 100% ready to go, both body & mind, he'll light Terry Martin up.

Holy smokes! This had to be the most outrageously stacked debut card I'd ever seen... and that was before Vitor vs. Terry Martin.
I gotta go change my underwear now.

I don't know if you saw that video posted the other day of Vitor training, but he looked like he was working hard and in decent shape. He was doing a lot of stuff with those tension cords that Sherk uses a lot for resistance. Plus he didn't look fat, so that was encouraging. |

Hopefully, they'll have even more big guns for the second event.
(I'm talking about Ricardo Arona) ^^
