But really, if Affliction wants to be taken seriously, then this is a step in the wrong direction. At least with the WAMMA HW Title, you had 2 of the top 5 HW's fighting, even though Tim-meh wasn't #2, you could accept it. But Lindland is ranked #7 according to WAMMA's own website and Belfort isn't ranked in any weightclass. Affliction will have some serious explaining to do in order to justify how these 2 guys are the top MW's. Bad move.

Not to mention I think Belfort might have broken his hand in the last fight. At least, that's what he said at the end of his fight, and that's what I'm hearing from someone who knows him.

What do you guys think of the WEC? There's a card tomorrow with two title fights. Condit and Varner defending their belts.

I can't really get into it, there are some nice fighters but the competition isn't that high.

Condit, Stann Weigh-in on Eve of WEC

That being said, I always try and catch Condit's fights. Since he damn near finishes all his fights.

It just got really, really, really serious.

I like WEC. I kinda consider it the farm for UFC fighters. I think the competition in there is pretty decent, and a lot of these kids want to prove themselves to make the bigger show.

gonna check out the WEC tonight... its on versus for those wondering

Looks like it's now Arlovski vs. Barnett on the next Affliction card:

That poor woman. Hopefully they realize that Rampage's actions were not intentional. I hope to see Rampage reach out to them and try and find some way to attempt to make amends (because there's obviously no way he could fully make amends).
