outstanding card must rank at least in top 5 ever mma cards if all fights come off.

thanks to ben for confirming although no offence I am an AA fan so will be cheering for him. Hopefully neither of you get badly hurt whatever the outcome.

Cant wait to see if all the various hw winners fight each other at the next one, if they do another show.

Looks like they are setting up Arlovski for a win...

Possible Arlovski/Fedor E. matchup in the future?

I love the fact that the UFC has a PPV every month, and I can't argue with the UFC's way of putting on cards because the UFC has been very successful while other orgs have failed, but I really want to see more stacked cards like the Affliction card. They may not do but three shows, but if the fight cards are like the July card is shaping up to be, then I'll be happy.

I was referring to the whiny nature of the post I quoted. Arlovski vs. Rothwell is still a quality fight, if not the one that could have been had the business of MMA been something other than it is.

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

Yeah you summed it up pretty well .

It's all about getting the better bang for your bucks !!!!

Well that was PRIDE's structure wasn't (one ever two or three months)?

On a side note I wonder how Ben Rothwell will perform against a highly ranked striker like AA .

Rothwell seems to have more than decent all around abilities and (very) good striking .
Anyone knows about his chin ..??

I'm pretty curious on that one , I hope Ben comes out aggressive (not wild though) and push the pace because I know AA doesn't seem to like to move backward ...
