Finally, so what if it really was Ben? Let's not try to ruin his career as a fighter over one PR mishandling. After all, he's a fighter, not a PR professional.
Would any of you want to take so much flak after training so hard to start to make a name for yourself in MMA?

first of theres no way any guys posting on sherdog coudl ruin his career.sherdog forums are not important at all and no one really cares what we think.we make up like 3% of mma fans so just get real and realize we dont make a difference lol were just here for fun.the mass majority of mma fans dont even know about this site.
hey im just being real lol

How do you follow a show like this? Their HW division is already better than the UFC.

Heavyweight is not my favorite weightclass to watch, but you have to be impressed by how this card is putting together pretty much all the quality free-floating agents that are not in the UFC right now. Wonder how much this is going to cost them... and kind of amazed at the ebb and flow with heavyweights - first everyone was in Pride, then everyone (well almost) moved to the UFC, then what? Affliction, your Heavy MMA promotion?

ya well i was trying to clear up that i was not fighting AA in Sept on another org. as the original rumor stated. I tried to never say if i was/was not fighting AA but most all the forum took it that way, sorry i guess.
anyway I'm excited to fight a top10 HW, so thanks for the support, peace

Goodluck in the fight with AA...Wow this card is like a DREAM come true haha

I hope this is more than a rumor and is signed ASAP.
Am I the only one that thinks Affliction is gonna be a one and done organization? This card is phenomenal, but there is no way they can continue to keep paying out 3-6 millions bucks every card. I think Timmy and AA are being really smart. They don't re-sign with the UFC just so they can go make some huge pocket change, then come back to the UFC.
