Tournament Wins: 0 |  Affliction II: Day of Reckoning
In the last couple of days, Affliction has added a few more bouts to their card (including adding more former IFL fighters Hieron and Horodecki).
Looks to be pretty good, but does anyone know whether the Tito Ortiz fight has been confirmed? Last I heard, they were having a hard time negotiating a contract with Tito. - Andrei Arlovski vs. Josh Barnett
- Tito Ortiz vs. Renato "Babalu" Sobral
- Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
- Matt Lindland vs. TBA (Some talk of Jake Shields but now Jake has committed to defend his title vs Paul Daley)
- Chris Horodecki vs. Dan Lauzon
- Ben Rothwell vs. Pedro Rizzo
- Jay Hieron vs. Drew Fickett
- Paul Buentello vs. Roy Nelson
- Jason High vs. Mike Pyle

Not quite the name power of the first card, but some solid match ups. Also, I think the name of the event is pretty cool.

That looks like another pretty decent card. Chris Horodecki vs. Dan Lauzon & Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira are the fights I most want to see.

I am excited about the Barnett and A.A. and I usually don't care much about Heavyweights. the winner is sure to fight Fedor and both are incredible fighters.
I don't care what they name the fights, but I think that they should follow the WWF in the idea that they should have annual events like the Royal Rumble of Wrestlemania (I actually only remember those from when I was a kid). Pretty soon we will be seeing UFC 2 million 4 hundred and 30 thousand 8 hundred and 21 (UFC 8,430,821). When will the dumb names stop and the event in which everyone wants to fight in once a year starts to happen? Just my marketing strategy that would interest me for the years to come. |

I might end up going. I'll let you know if I do. Keep me posted if you guys decide to go. If not, you better come to UFC 90 in Chicago! |

Danielle, if you go, I may have to make it a point to go for certain. Pimach said he'd split a suite at Mandaly Bay with me so you may have a living room floor to set up a slepeing bag to crash out on...that is unless you wish to join Old Adolf in the Master...
