Since you wanna question integrities of titles, what if Sylvia defeats Fedor, then Affliction has a champion that lost 2 of his last 3 fights in the big org they're trying to compete against. They really should have used Barnett for that fight instead of Sylvia.

If Anderson loses it does nothing to the integrity of his title seeing how it'll just be spun as him fighting 20 pounds above his natural weightclass and taking the fight on short notice. UFC's marketing >> Affliction's.
by fat russian do you mean the best fighter that has ever walked the planet?.. your a tuf newb obviously.. The affliction card is 10x better then the ufc card...

I'll watch Anderson Silva over just about anything. Waited a good couple years for him to come to the UFC so I could actually see him fight live. If things go the way they should, I'll only be missing about 30 seconds of the Affliction show.

both

Please tell me how it ruins the middleweight title if he loses. ITS A DIFFERENT FUCKIN WEIGHT CLASS.

Anderson has big balls and wants to test himself...you guys seem more concerned then he is about it.

Sylvia is way more worthy of the fight. He may have lost 2 of last 3, but he's consistantly been fighting the best the UFC can throw at him. Barnett needs a win or 2 more against the likes of competition that Tim's been facing, then I could see it happening. I'm sure that Barnett vs. Fedor will happen, but only after Randy fights Fedor.

Seriously if Barnett vs Rizzo is on or Lindland vs the nobody who wouldn't change the channel to see Anderson fight live.

I'll buy Affliction and DVR the UFC event. But I rarely miss a PPV. For anyone that was on the fence about buying Affliction, this will probably make them keep their money.

This is the mother of the "lets see how much this gets quoted" posts. Here's #2, but I won't even bother counterpointing you.

The UFC knows the hardcore fans will watch the Affliction ppv, they are going after the casual fans who may have ordered it, and won't now because they can watch a UFC event for free.

You have to think too that the UFC event on july 5th is going to affect the buyrate for the Affliction card as well. Not too many people want to shell out an extra hundred dollars for their cable bill to watch 2 MMA events in a month.

I will be watching both, but the casual fans are more than likely going to pick the UFC.

UFC card isn't met to be a better card then Affliction. It's ment to keep avg. MMA fan a fan of the UFC. Hardcore fans alone can't support an MMA org..
