Raymond Daniels article…he’s supposed to have something…probably a prime candidate to get taken down and sub’d early though…

Affliction needs to put on cards like these if they want to stay in business.

oh wow!!!!!!!!!

[LEONARD]

Turd...

Melendez vs Thomson wasn't bad, but overall, not much to see...

Nicely put together event but the fights didn't deliver...

[Evan]

Yeah it’s a shame, they have such good production and they put on sucha good show but the fights were mildly interesting at best. Not their fault, good card and I have seen a few of their shows who had no names yet were incredible fights…just bad luck.

I can't believe I fell asleep in round 1…I haven't fallen asleep watching TV since I was in high school.

Gilbert has a lot of work to do.

Glade I didnt order it....I still dont know if I want to order Affliction or watch UFC on e. I dont have Tivo and my dvd recorder is broken. I know it will be replayed later on e, but by then Ill already know who won and that takes the fun out of it. Anyone want to help me decide?

I spend so much already on MMA PPV I'm now going with e for free and I was going to order affliction.
