When I saw the "missing man" image, I immediately thought of Aleks over AA.

This is a great card, and I will be pimping it to everyone I know.

For a lot of fight fans, including myself, there is a degree of familiarity that leads to personal favorites taking special privilege when rating a card. For example, I'd rather watch Sokoudjou, Wand, Shogun, Arona over Forrest, even though Forrest is the contender.

Taking away that bias, the proposed Affliction card is the best ever in terms of top HW participation. 5 top 10 HWs, fighting each other. I'm not including Rizzo, although anyone who argues against him being a viable contender in the HW division is nuts. Absurd card. In terms of competitive matchmaking, it is superior in it's weight class, and in terms of star power, it's the first legit "Shockwave" style event for the US audience.
