Your dumb, didn't you know that Arlovski sold his soul to the UFC? He has had to change his name and underwent plastic surgery to have a blank profile picture. His new name is TBA. Duh!

Seriously Sherdog needs an Ava/belt similar to the dubs that say's Loser. If you post something as fact that isn't you should have to wear it for 1 weeks or 20 posts whatever is longer. I you spend more over half your membership time in Sherdog with the loser Ava/belt then you are dubbed then banned.

It seems the second some other organization puts on fights featuring FORMER UFC FIGHTERS, its "the best card ever"

What the fuck do you mean Dana never put on cards like this? They have had SEVERAL UFCs featuring these EXACT same fighters. Take your head out of your ass, you arent better than anyone for hating on the UFC.

God damn you must be retarded.
It is the best card ever even if halv of the fighters have been in the ufc.

Dana never did put on a show like this.. Yes he has had shows with some of these fighters, but not at the same time.. do you even know what a card is?

Dana would have spread it out because the UFC is in it for the long run. Not put every fighter in your stable on ONE card.

Seriously, Affliction hasnt even put on an event yet. You tell me Im missing the point? Did you really ask when they've fought on the same card?

Yes he did really ask you when they've fought on the same card. The reason why he did is because of this:

I'm not ripping Affliction at all, I can't wait to see this card, but when is Affliction's next card set for? Let's say their next card is in September, which would span about three months. Take the UFCs from March/April/May and put them on one card, it could look like this (using 6 fights since that's what mmaweekly.com has set for Affliction's main card):

Henderson v. Silva
Sherk v. Penn
Silva v. Jardine
Machida v. Ortiz
Serra v. St. Pierre
Franklin v. Lutter
(then have the top fights from Ultimate Fight Night 13 as the undercard)

That's a very good card. and you can take any 2-3 month period lately and put together an excellent card.

Again, I love that Elite XC and Affliction are getting exposure and putting on quality cards, but it's difficult to compare companies running a card every 2-3 months with the UFC that will have put on 3 cards between April 2.

Please don't label me a UFC nuthugger, I am a MMA nuthugger. I want to see the best fights and not have this sport turn into the alphabet soup that boxing has become. It seems right now that MMA fans are getting quality fight cards, and I will be more than happy to give my money to Affliction in July and MMA will be regulated by the Illinois Athletic Commission starting June 1 and I can't wait to go to the events in Illinois

The only problem with that is you're not seeing all of those fights on one card. The UFC cards have been lackluster at best this year. I'm really looking forward to this weekends card, but other than that, the UFC has had only one good card on paper all year. It would cost $120 or $150 in HD to see those fights over a 3 month span, while with the Affliction card you spend 40 or 50 and see them all in one night. I understand what you're saying as far as Affliction only having one card every three months, but as long as it's a stacked card like this one then I'm fine with it. I will fill my remaining months with the UFC's cards with only one or two good fights on them.

Just my opinion
