Id personally like to See AA vs Barnett to see who fights Fedor. Of course that would mean fedor wouldnt have anyone to fight till after those two clash

Also from a marketing perspective it makes more sense to put AA first cause I think casual fans are more familiar with him than Barnett.

I like Barnett, I like Fedor, but in terms of a fight that "needs" to happen?...
eh... I wouldn't pay for it... no sir... Arlovski/Fedor I'd pay for...

| But I think Sylvia has a much bigger name in the states than Barnett, and this being Affliction's first card they need the biggest names that will draw the most. Especially with the rumored pay outs for the fighters. Just my opinion.

I would rather see Fedor vs. Arlovski and Barnett vs. Sylvia.
I don't think Barnett poses as much of a threat as everyone wants to make it out ot be.
Either way, I hope Arlovski gets to fight Fedor and Barnett.. and Josh Barnett gets to fight Fedor and Sylvia.. so that all 4 of them get to mix it up.
Truth is, just with Arlovski, Fedor, Sylvia, Barnett, and Aleksander.. there are a TON of matches there.
Affliction HWs > UFC HWs... who would have thunkerted it?

Both fights would be exciting in my opinion because Fedor doesn't have a boring fight. I think Barnett has earned his shot at Fedor more than AA. Also, I consider him to be a bigger threat to Fedor.
However, Affliction is a new organization and AA being in the main event with Fedor would sell more tickets than Barnett. It is better for publicity and revenue. It's the same with Sylvia... he is not in the main event because he deserved it more than Barnett, it's for marketability reasons.
Basically, if Fedor beats Sylvia, then AA... more people will know about him. He will be known by more casual fans thus boosting his marketablility. Putting Barnett and Fedor as a main event too early is not a smart move at this point.

I also want to see Aleks rematch with Barnett because he was wrecking Barnett up until he got subbed.. I think Aleks would beat Barnett in the rematch for sure.
There are a lot of possible fights in the Affliction HW division.. it is exciting to be honest...

Not sure why this announcement is that significant. One of their fighters might fight another one of their fighters?
