If you wanted to put on a mixed martial arts event to rival the new Affliction organization why would you put on a crappy card? Well thats what UFC president Dana White has done with a head line fight between Anderson Silva vs James Irvin.

Are you kidding me, come on Dana White you have the money and resources to do better than that but instead he tries to cheap out and put on a crappy MMA card. If you are going to put on a free show on Spike TV, do so with gusto not some lame attempt with a MMA card with a bunch of nobodies.

Dana White should really put a dagger in the hearts of the Affliction event by actually using some money to pay the fighters and get a good card together. He is cheaping out and putting Silva in with a punching dummy. The one fight to look forward to is the Frank Edgar versus Hermes Franca fight but that’s about it.

Affliction Banned has Fedor Emelianenko, two time UFC heavyweight champ Tim Sylvia, former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski, Josh Barnett, Pedro Rizzo, Ben Rothwell, Matt Lindland Renato Sobral and Vitor Belfort.

This star studded line up has 4 top ten heavyweights in the world fighting and a number of high profile stars while the UFC is having Kevin Burns, Reese Andy, and Brodie Farber fighting so people will tune in. Also you can see all the under card fights for free for Affliction Banned at the Fight Network.

Dana White can fool novice fans and people who are mildly interested in MMA but he can not fool the real fans and hardcore MMA fans that put the UFC to where it is today.

If you really want to hurt Affliction do it right instead of being cheap and not paying for what people are worth. The UFC makes tons of money and they do not kick any of it back to the fighters and putting on a crappy show at UFC Fight Night 14 is a lame attempt to kill off competition with a pellet gun instead of a shotgun.

This all comes back to the UFC paying people for what they are worth and treating people fairly. If they did treat people fairly fighters like Josh Barnett, Matt Lindland, and Fedor would be happy to sign with the UFC. Instead they are rivaling the UFC and helping Dana off his high horse.

I really hope the UFC gets the fact that there is competition now. The last UFC cards were bad and the upcoming UFC 87 and 88 are not looking to great either. The UFC like to put 2 to 3 good fights and mix in with crappier fights with no real talent so they can cheat the pay per view audience and keep cost down. With cheaper talent instead of putting on a grat show form top to bottom like how Pride was.
