If Carwin/Cain couldnt fight vs Lesnar, I highly doubt they put in Hendo or someone to face him lol.

There in also lies the problem with Affliction, their only draw really is Fedor, he has to be on the card [I know to us he doesn't, I could quite easily watch the event without him.] That they have to clutch at straws to get in random opponents with 9 days left.

This isn't UFC>Affliction or anything, just struck by the flaw in this all.


Aside from Fedor, the UFC always had the better HW division. Arlovski and Sylvia are long gone, so the only HWs on their roster are Fedor, Barnett, Yvel, and Buentello.

I think Yvel should be the replacement for Barnett.

I hope he does get mauled lol, I'm a big fan of fedor and the last thing I want to see is vitor pull the upset.. He does have a punchers chance, but I hope fedor puts him to sleep arlovski style lol

And Fedor has been preparing for Barnett since January. Now he has a little more than a week to prepare for Vitor.

But the end of Affiction (which this probably means) can only help Fedor to the UFC.
