Although Affliction has been best known for its Heavyweights so far, the promotion has decided to go a little lighter with one fight on its October 11 card, making an Albert Rios vs. Antonio Duarte fight. The Featherweight fight reflects Affliction's plans to expand into lighter weight classes.

Me, too.
A mostly HW card = snoozefest.

Thats cool smaller guys normally mean high paced fight, 145 lbs should be the smallest division they ever do, smaller than that and we will never see a KO not enough power...

they won't get as many big name guys in those weight classes, not with the depth the ufc/wec has in them.

I'm sure they could do pretty well at lightweight with all of the great fighters in DREAM(I don't think that they will, but I think they could), but yeah you're right they're not going to get much between lightweight and heavyweight.
