Where does the promotion go from here? I think they should give themselves some time before their next show to sign more talent. They have the stars, now they should focus on depth. Some fights that would make for a good card in my opinion would be, Barnett vs Arlovski, Belfort vs Lindland, Tito vs Babalu(assuming Tito signs), and the obvious Fedor vs Couture, if not that then I think Fedor vs. Barnett should happen.

Arlovski should fight Fedor next. If not him then barnett.

I'm gonna be honest and I'm sure some will disagree but I think Arlovski is the only one capable of beating Fedor on any given day, cut wins in my opinion dont count especially in Fedors case his only loss from fighting in a org. that didnt have the rules that are in the bigger orgs. in any other org. that loss to TK would have been a NC or DQ in Fedors favor. To me hes undefeated.

I think that Aleksander would destroy Rothwell. I don't think Rothwell is as good as once thought. He is tough, and has heart, but his striking looked slow, and sloppy.

I get the feeling they will do this:
Fedor Emelianenko vs. Randy Couture
Josh Barnett vs. Andrei Arlovski
Aleksander Emelianenko vs. Tim Sylvia
Vitor Belfort vs. Matt Lindland
Ben Rothwell vs. Paul Buentello
Tito Ortiz vs. Babalu

The need to sign some other fighters, even if it is for a single fight. I don't want to see Affliction use thier first three shows to feature the same fighters unless they plan on only doing those three shows.

more than likely, they'll continue to feature their heavyweights as they have most of the top heavyweights in the world.

Can they afford to sign new talent? They said themselves if they aren't making money by third show, the whole promotion will be shit canned. I'm interested to see how many ppv buys it got last night.
