Affliction Banned draws closer and closer, and as it does, it is impossible to ignore all of the hype leading up to the main event of the evening, Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko facing off with Tim “The Maineiac” Sylvia for the newly created WAMMA Heavyweight Championship. The fight itself at this point means a lot more than the title does, as the title seemed more or less created for this card, to help hype up the Affliction show and validate the whole WAMMA thing by establishing their champion as either Fedor or Sylvia. Having either man as their champion means instant credibility, as Fedor never lost the PRIDE Heavyweight Championship, it basically just disappeared when PRIDE was taken over by Zuffa, and Sylvia exited the UFC in a Heavyweight title match, as well as holding the title numerous times. What we get is the biggest heavyweight showdown since Fedor vs. Cro Cop from PRIDE.

Affliction’s Banned is just a matter of days away now, as they present audiences with one of the most stacked cards we’ve seen in the US in a very long time, featuring 8 top heavyweights in four great fights. Three of these will be the main attraction on the PPV show, with Aleks Emelienenko vs. Paul Buentello headlining the Fox Sports Net portion of the show on cable. The first of what we can consider the three main events features IFL stand-out Ben Rothwell against former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski.

Jake Shields vs. Nick Thompson for the first Elite XC Welterweight Title Live on CBS
DW: As fun as it is to make fun of EliteXC or anything involving Gary Shaw, this is unquestionable content. I can’t wait to see it, but this really isn’t going to wow a CBS crowd. As much as people complain about subpar displays like Kimbo Slice, that is what your average person in the audience is expecting to see.
JS: think the Shields-Thompson matchup is great and should add some much needed technical prowess to the Elite XC CBS show. Read the rest of this entry »
