"Affliction: Banned" Pay-Per-View

[Peter H.]

So, is anybody planning on ordering/watching this PPV?

I'll be getting with a group of friends and watching the PPV. UFC feels threatened, otherwise they wouldn't have quickly put together a Fight Night to air free on Spike TV against the Affliction event which costs money.

I am definitely looking forward to the main event between Fedor Emelianenko and Tim Sylvia, as well as seeing Josh Barnett, Andrei Arlovski, Ben Rothwell, Matt Lindland, Renato Sobral, Aleksander Emelianenko, and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

I agree that this is a stacked card that looks to threated UFC. They've still got at least one more card scheduled before the end of the year that I know of.

Isn't Nogueira in UFC? I know there are a few Nogs out there. Can't remember if this one was the one that fights in the UFC these days.

They are twins.

Rodrigo is a Heavyweight in the UFC.
Rogerio a Light Heavyweight fighting for Affliction.

Thanks! It'll probably take me some time to get those two separated in my head!
