It's going to be at LHW, i read that Mousasi can't make middleweight anymore, and he did weigh like 220 lbs this morning.
Mousasi should win, the kid is a stud

This is an awesome fight and I'm glad its going to happen...the bad part about it is it means Vitor will not be returning to the UFC anytime soon...I like that its gonna be at LHW too...Belfort wont lose any cred at MW and same for Mousasi in the higher classes...I'm impressed with the card Affliction is putting together...will it be their last...I hope so because the big names that they are tying up in waiting for the next card (Fedor, Barnett, Belfort, etc) could really be helping out Dream (not that they are hurting, they too are putting together top quality events thanks to the great fights their tourney's have been putting on) or Sengoku, or even UFC (where everyone would of course love to see Fedor, and I want Belfort against Silva

Mousasi all the way and I for one hope he gets his shot in the UFC and takes the title from Anderson Silva
or how bout Mousasi-vs-Machida or even Mousasi competing for the heavyweight title, this guy has alot of options I think

Belfort wins the first important fight of his career, Mousasi is overated, and Vitor isn't afraid of him, and he only loses to people he's scared of.

Sounds like we spoke too soon...the fight may now be un-set, as in off. Mousasi said yes and signed the contract but it appears Belfort said no. Belfort told TATAME that he will fight Mousasi but it apparently has to be at 185. According to Mousasi, the fight would be catch weight at 195. Mousasi is still on for 8/1 but now the talk is perhaps Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Renato Sobral, obviously at 205.

If this fight doesn't happen it will be dissapointing but I can certainly understand both fighters points of view...they both have different goals right now...they mentioned Mousasi possibly fighting for a title at Affliction 3 in the article...what title would it be for? Certainly not a Wamma belt for LHW, would their finally be an "Affliction" title?

No titles, remember there may not even be an Affliction 4. Or a WAMMA for that matter after this event.
