This is good news to me. The UFC tried to teach AA a lesson so to speak by delaying him from fighting and then putting him on the undercard. looks like it didn't work. moral of the story, don't fuck around with the world's best fighters, treat em like they should be or you lose them.

Good luck ben, and if it looks like you might lose, bite his ear or stomp on his testicles.

This will be an awesome fight. It's a win/win for Ben. If he loses, hey, it was the first top 10 guy he's fought and he has loads of time to work his way back to the top. If he wins? Hey, he's arrived!

Rothwell brings the fight every time so even AA who sometimes is too tentative will be forced to slug it out. Good fight and the best of luck to both guys!

On a side note:

Anyone know what the gross income of Affliction is? If they bring in in the hundred million range every year a losing show could be sustainable 2-3 times a year just to carry their brand. They market specifically to MMA so getting banned from EliteXC and the UFC would make shelling out for exposure smart.
If you go to their website they actually sponsor everything, NFL, NBA, rock stars, boxers, movie stars, they are all over.

Cool two Overrated fighters vying to not be!! Arlovski has beat Werdum and Sylvia those are the only opponents worth discussing!!! When he had to fight a worthy opponent in Tim for the 2nd time he lost and the 3rd time he lost!! So what about PDP,Buentello,Eilers.... Either inexperienced or lower tier fighters!! AA is good but not top 10 in my oppinion!! BR hasn't really had the opportunity to fight top competition till now so it will be interesting to see how much drive and dicipline he has in this fight!! As we know with AA if you are patient he will expose himself!! Not to say he isn't good just not as good as everyone thinks!!
