Which one will you be watching? I'll go with the free one. Is the Affliction one associated with any specific league or is it just a bunch of exhibition bouts?

Well, since I have prior arrangements where I won't be able to watch either one live, I'm going to just record the UFC fights. I'd probably just watch them anyways...

It does have that Wrestlemania feel to the title - like the "banned" bit means they are too hardcore for UFC or some stupid shit. EliteXC had a wrestling feel to it as well - guys like Phil Baroni only added to that.

I'm more interested in the fight card, like Fedor vs Sylvia, than the name. Crazy as it may seem.

Thats why I asked if the Affliction one was related to any specific league or just exhibition bouts - I don't follow the stuff very closely at all so wasn't sure if the Affliction was a bunch of guys who aren't in UFC or Pride or whatever anymore and are just doing this one time promotion or something. Fedor and sylvia were the only names I knew from that one being a very very casual viewer of the stuff.

Affliction MMA is related to Randy Couture iirc and I really hope they can keep putting together fight cards like this one. The reason for the Banned title is because the Affliction clothing logo has been banned in UFC events (hence blurred shirts in recent UFC fights). Its a load of shit and part of the ongoing pissing match between Dana White and Randy Couture. It does, however, make the event title a tongue-in-cheek "fuck you" directed towards the UFC.

I'm planning on watching this fight on PPV and recording the UFC to watch right after. And probably Dream 4 since I haven't seen it yet.

If Fedor is fighting, that's the one I'll be watching, if I can watch either of them.

Is it a UFC policy that its big name athletes have their pictures on their vehicles for advertising or do you think that was a Rampage decision so people would know not to fuck with him if he cut them off?
