From the perspective of an MMA fan, it's obviously disappointing. It would have been a great card. But that's the way business works. I think the UFC was smart in their handling of Affliction. But there is plenty of room for new promotions. M1 Global does as a great job. Vadim is one of the smartest people in the world when it comes to promoting Fedor, M1 and MMA internationally. Dream, Sengoku, Strikeforce, MFC, XFC and other promotions do a great job as well.
Affliction had a great idea but tried to do too much too soon. MMA is the fastest growing sport in the world. It will be just fine.
Wait...Vadim is a great promoter and these other promotions do well with international shows internationally?

I’ve heard of them, haven’t seen one, but I’d have to guess that they don’t pull in that much money.
...some call me "el mexicutioner"...
LOL
I was being sarcastic. Just would like to say that so that no one thinks I’m a complete idiot.

!["Let me tell you something: When I was $44 million in the hole, the last thing I was doing was leaving the office and going out to train for a joke of a fight. I was in the office and trying to find a way to make this thing work. Why would I waste one second of my second of my day worrying about this [expletive] guy? He should be worried about the millions and millions of his bosses, or his partners' money, whoever it is, that's he's burning. That's a complete joke."
