I rather see AA vs Fedor, then Barnett vs Fedor.
But this will sure be a great event.

Got to admit I'm not that pumped for this without Fedor.
He hits too hard for his own fucking good

Pretty much all of the above.
Impressive card, I just really hope they can keep it up.

Because every time some new org pops up everyone starts yelling to put htem in the HW's, and then 6 months to a year later the org falls off the face of the map. They need to establish themselves that they're here to stay

This is one amazing fight. I hope they get some fights like this in the undercard!

gonna be puttin my money on josho barnetto!! on this fight.. barnett vs fedor should be sick, i think he's the only fighter with a legit chance.
As for linland and vitor, my heart says vitor but my head says linland, either way should be a close one...
And ive heard rumors of babalu fighting tito... should be a good classic wrestler vs bjj fight, id prob give babalu the edge, either sobral via sub or tito via decision.

It just seems really wrong talking about the orgs with elite fighters in the "B-section of Sherdog", as someone just put it. I just posted a suggestion on the site suggestion forum. Click on the link if you care.
Heavyweights Forum
In short, I'm just suggesting that the words "Heavyweights" and "Contenders" be scrapped because there is no need (and no basis!) to imply that the WEC is better than all orgs in the Contenders section. I just think it's fair and reasonable to do away with classifying certain orgs as better than the others.

Probably all of the above. They just started as an organization. As a side note, I don't make the rules, I just moderate. If you guys think that Affliction or any other ORG needs to be relocated make a note of it in the board and site suggestions forum.
