It looks a lot like the early UFC websites. If you have seen that contrived mess you would understand. It looks like after they have signed these fighters they rushed to put up the site. A lot of these sites seem to be afterthoughts it looks like they figure they will get more press anyways and that the website is not that important.

Does anyone know if there is a special code or anything required to purchase tickets during the "Affliction Presale" tomorrow at 10:00 AM PDT?

Good reason to go. All live events have a certain atmosphere of excitement and uncertainty that cannot be replicated with an at home viewing experience. However, attending local or regional amateur or pro cards will almost never provide the spectacle and demonstration of skills that a top level pro event can bring. If you have the opportunity to see Fedor fight, you should take it. Even a casual fight fan wouldn't let his generation's Ali or Tyson fight within a reasonable drive and not attend. Win or lose, the opportunity to see the most dominant high-level fighter ever is one worth taking. I'm all for living your life and experiencing things for yourself, but that's still a memory of lasting impression.

In response to Jodka, I still believe it is the strongest North American HW card ever (I thought I had clarified HW with "weight class," but fair enough either way). I think we can all agree it is a great card that is up there with the best, especially considering the American obsession with heavyweights.

There is NO WAY Affliction will make any money from this event. It's almost impossible but they know that and they dont care. They are just worried about putting up a huge event which I think they have done. I am very very excited about this card and I will be watching for sure.

I think saying that the UFC should be shaking in its boots and that "everyone else is catching up" quickly is a little premature. This is a great card but the ability for Affliction to sustain is extremely uncertain.

Fashion is a fickle industry. The MMA crowd has been buying and wearing their fruity shirts for a couple of years, and the exposure and link to MMA has brought Affliction a good deal of business.

If Affliction is looking to go out on a high note with a great event that bleeds money, that's a great swan song from my perspective.
