Affliction July 19th.

I am not sure why the Affliction fight was brought up on this article.. but I dont see how any hard core fan is going to miss that fight.
When was the last time you saw more than 3 fighters with previous UFC or Pride title holders in one night?

Affliction has ---> 6 previous title holders!! six!
Fedor "Cyborg" Emelianenko
Tim Sylvia
Victor Belfort
Andrei Arlovski
Josh Barnett (he beat Randy Couture to get it.. though it was stripped later)
honorable title: Matt "the LAW" Lindland (he has a freaking Olympic silver medal)
(and none of them are washed up over 40 guys, like Ken Shamrock... he needs to retire)

PLUS, it has these other names that everyone knows.
Antônio Rogério Nogueira (only 1 loss to knockout, the guy is a machine)
Aleksander Emelianenko (I love when he KO'd Josh "idiot" Thompson)
Renato "Babalu" Sobral
Pedro Rizzo

ANYONE calling themselves fans.. who has watched mma on youtube, online, and old Pride FC videos... would know all those guys. If you like the fighters is personal, but you would have to respect their skills.

Even the less popular fighters on the card are known. Vernon White (lost to many good fighters), Matt Whitehead, and Paul Buentello.

It is just crazy talk to say you are going to miss it. CRAZY I say.

NOTE: Newbies excluded from all logic, I dont see how they can appreciate this card.
