NO, They have to prove they can keep the cards coming without going bankrupt first.This was their first show and it was at best mediocre, the only thing we had to compare it to was a UFN that was thrown together in less then a month. Affliction had almost a year and their production was still barely watchable.. Lets see what they can do with a card that doesn't have fedor on it.

Affliction should be in the HWs. They had the best card of the year in their first show.

Affliction has 1 serious division. UFC has 4, WEC has 2, Dream has 1 or 2.

You should at least have 2 serious divisions to be in heavyweights.

I agree with most people, DREAM should be on here.

agreed. they still have alot tp prove, but my point is I dont see them tanking due to their connections, it will only get better IMO.

Dream 1st in the HW section. Its sad to say but maybe AFFLICTION should be added with ELITXC, KOTC, SHOOTO section if it hasn't already. Sorry I don't look in that section that much.

but your point is to bring Affliction up to the Heavyweights on an MMA forum...for only discussion. Why would you need to see live events to discuss them on an internet forum???

I agree with this as well, but there is plenty of talent out there waiting for a good org. to join.
