Might be a while before he does again. Affliction is bleeding money. Unless this card pulls in some big numbers, both live and pay-per-view, it could be their last show.

The Fedor/Andrei fight should bring some big viewing numbers... I know I will be watching. Fedor seems to draw a large PPV crowd. Hopefully we won't see them (Affliction) tank...

It will draw, but I don't think it'll draw huge. As much of an absolute Monster as Fedor is, he's still a relative unknown with casual followers of the sport. Once you get past the Fedor/Arlovski fight, the name recognition of the talent drops dramatically. It's nice to have people to placate the steady fans of the sport, but they can't survive doing shows based soley around Fedor. They've already canceled one show where he wasn't on the card due to lack of interest in incredibly poor ticket sales.

I guess for avid MMA fans, it seems to be a pretty decent card...

The entire main card looks to have a few really good fights and some ok fights. Fedor/Arlovski should be a good fight;Barnett/Yvel should be ok, barring Barnett does not get gassed again; Belfort/Lindland always put on a good fight; Babaloo/Sokoudjou I want to see... Sokoudjou is a freakin animal, and let's face it.. the only reason we know who Babaloo is, is because of Chuck's shin...; Horodecki/Lauzon might be the 2nd best fight of the card.

Damn I hate ground n pound.

I hope Arlovski wins. Thanks for the link.
