Arlovski is going to give Rothwell all sorts of problem, he is just as good of a striker, mabye better and much more explosive. his ground game is also much better IMO but Rothwell is a tough s.o.b. but i still think he doesnt make it to the 3rd round

if this goes down AA wins via knock out. not saying rothwell isnt a haus or anyhing but what a mistake letting AA out of the ufc. if hes gone i think Werdum vs vera is the title contender really mir has a little more work> not sayin hes is possibly one of the best at top health but another win would be nice. AA is a ufc man i would love to see him back

No doubt Afflication is putting on a solid card, but the key will be putting up a card like that over and over. If Affliction can sustain its business, it will face all the growing pains of the other organizations, most of which really cant hang. Props to them for getting a card like this in place.

At some point all of these fighters have to realize they are just pawns in the Randy vs. Dana fight. I mean look at the fighters on the card, Affliction is bleeding money just to try and steal as many of the HW's as they can.
I mean they must know that there is no way this company can stay afloat after paying these kind of wages to the fighters. So it is obviously a short term employment choice.
All the UFC has to do is ride out the first fight card from Affliction and the First two cards from Adrenaline and all of the fighters will be asking to come back after the cheque bounces.
If I was one of these fighters I wouldn't be chasing this one big payday over stable employment. Unless of course most of these guys are planning on retiring and this is there last fight then it would make sense.

i will be amassed if they can pay all those top tier fighters money that they are over paying them, yes they might have a awesome show but that might be the last one they have ever,
sad to see aa go from the ufc, but i think alot of these guys like tim, andre, will be back in the ufc sometime in the future again,
i love the ufc, but i am hoping they realize what a problem the heavyweight division is and start making decisions to make it competitve again,
they need to sign some big names like barnett, maybe rizzo again,
they did good with middleweight division with emergence of maia, henderson, bisping dropping weight, couple other fresh young guns
now focus on heavyweights, only thing is guys aren't going to drop weight to help save that weight class!!!
