im not so sure why everyone is so excited about ben rothwell vs AA? Rothwell has never fought this kind of competition and with losses against people like mike whitehead and even worse dan christison, i see this a 1st round beat down for AA. Short work.

I'm very excited for these three fights. I see Fedor beating Tim in the first round via Kimura, Barnett beating Rizzo via decision, and Andre Ko'ing Ben in the first.
This is a very good, but not great card. Dream's last few cards have been better imo, but I guess we will have to wait to see how these fights go to judge.

I am interested in finding out why the UFC is letting this happen by letting two of their top five heavyweights go and fight for another org. I see one of to things happening they are letting these guys go so they can show that the UFC does have the best heavyweights or they are letting them go because nether of them are going to help sell this card unlike a Randy Couture would do.
Now back to the point at hand Rothwell's last loss was over three years ago to Christison so it is likely he has improved. The other is that Affliction has stated that they plan on a min. of three events so it is likely they found at least 20 million in cash to hold about three events so there is still dream fights that are possible. It is likely they are betting on signing a big sponsor if this org is able to get off the ground. The one question that is really on my mind is how do they plan on getting Aleksander Emelianenko's visa approved the guys rap sheet is pretty long.

Damn. Thats a total bummer, I had really hoped that Arlovski and the UFC could have worked it out. I would have loved to have seen Arlovski and Big Nog fight.
