UFC Take Note.
The superbowl of MMA is to make history opn July 19 with Affliction co promoting with M-1.
They have Tim Sylvia, Josh Barnett, Andrei Arlovski, Pedro Rizzo, Ben Rothwell, Alex Emelienanko, Paul Buentello, and last but not least, Fedor and that is just the Heavyweight division.
The myth that Affliction will fold due to the hugh amount of money being spent can be shut down due to the fact that Affliction is sharing the costs with M-1 and Roy Englebrecht Events. This would lead to profits for the three promotions while the chance for lost of cost remains minimal.
Yet, being that Afflcition sponsors alot of fighters, and being that they wit M1 hold a hugh amount of the talent pool in the Heavyweight division, and being that they were contracted with UFC, if they succeed with their first mega card, this might help persuade or even pressure for Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta along with Dana White to swallow their ego and possibly talk about co-promoting with Affliction. Of course this will not happen right away but down the road who knows what could happen. The fighters in Affliction can fight for the UFC title and fight as UFC stars while Affliction help share part of the salary. Of course the use of ring and cage conflict would be the main problem.
