just wondering what you'se guys thought about adding affliction to the main league. its one of the most impressive cards i've seen and i think it deserves to be up there. im not saying the organization itself should be added, coz i know people are going to say "how do we know that Affliction will only last for this card and then drop off the planet". but i think THIS card should be added, and will see what they can come up with after this one.

Hundreds of threads have been done on this. They will not and should not incl a co that hasn't even held an event to the main league.

People have already mades posts on this topic; it's not gonna happen until Affliction can show they are here to stay and they are gonna put on great fight cards every time. I think that Dream will be on there soon.

Well, I would like to see another org added, but I gotta agree with the others are all saying. I guess Dream would be the best candidate at this point.

I was talking to a buddy of mine last night about Affliction and he brought a some very good points...

1. How much is this costing the company to have all of these great/well-known fighters on one card???

2. Do you remember WFA (World Fighting Alliance)? They tried something very similar in 2006 making a stacked card... where are they now???

3. There very first event being a pay-per-view??? I'm betting it won't do that well (even with the great card).

World Fighting Alliance - down the tubes

P.S. I'm excited as hell for this card!!!!!!

i think it would be good. It would separate the men from the boys so to speak. there would be a lot more reaserch to be done on the unknowns or lesser known fighters. All in all i would like it. Although how long can Affliction keeps up events like this. Maybe DREAm would be a better fit. A more established fight org and has a strong fan base in japan.
