I disagree. What Rogers has to lose comes in the form of a serious beating. The kind that people never fully bounce back from (ie. Hendo KO of Wandy).

Sucks to hear, RIP Affliction
Maybe Strikeforce can pickup a few replacements for their show next month! Diaz/Riggs was canceled as well.

Oh hell no. This month is getting worse by the day. First Matt Hamill, Overeem, Barnett and now the entire Affliction and Diaz/Riggs too? Jeez. Strikeforcereally needs to pickup the Affliction left overs. I wouldn't mind seeing a packed Strikeforce card instead of 2 seperate cards.

We totally lied about the RNC part. Instead we said that I just walked up behind him and put my arm around his shoulder and he reacted violently and hit mewith no warning. Had we told the whole truth my case would have been thrown out right away.
Stupid Judge Judy said that it was my fault because I should be aware of the environment that I'm in and that getting boozed up and watching other peoplefight will pre-dispose one to act violently too. Therefore, I should have expected my friend to act violently even if I approached him in a manner that I feltwas not aggressive. I told her that is BS. Just cause I sit at home and watch football for 8 hours while drinking beer does not mean I am going to go out andtackle the mailman. The funny thing is... and I hate to admit it... she is right. I was drunk as hell and amped up about seeing Fedor choke out Sylvia andthus came up with the brilliant idea to attempt it on my friend.

Dana White: UFC to hold press conference on July 31 to announce "a lot of crazy things"
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Jul 24, 2009 at 10:20 pm ET
The UFC is on the verge of some major announcements.
During a guest spot today on the ESPN 1100 Radiothon, a 24-hour fundraiser for The Caring Place cancer charity, UFC president Dana White said the organizationwill soon hold a major press conference, tentatively planned for July 31.
He referenced the media event when asked about reports of Affliction halting operations and becoming a UFC sponsor, the possibility of the UFC acquiringAffliction contracts, whether or not Fedor Emelianenko could be signed to the UFC, and whether a rumored deal with ESPN could come to fruition.
"We're working on some big things," White said without going into specifics. "It's going to be a lot of crazy things. ... There will bea laundry list of things addressed."
On the show, White also confirmed that ESPN executive John Skipper, widely regarded as the "No. 2 guy" at the sports-media powerhouse, was inattendance at UFC 100.
Sources have told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that discussions have taken place regarding the possibility of ESPN airing live UFC shows at some point,though nothing appears definitive and official confirmation has been impossible to get. On the radio spot, White simply referred to the increased coverage ESPNcan bring to its existing events, which air on pay-per-view and Spike TV.
"He got it," White said of Skipper's UFC 100 trip. "He saw the people. He saw the energy. All the things you get from the UFC live event, hefelt, and that's why we're starting to get more coverage on ESPN."
As for Emelianenko, who was slated to fight at the Aug. 1 "Affliction: Trilogy" event before its cancellation earlier today, White said he'sdefinitely interested in the fighter.
"My job is to put on the best fights with the best fighters and give fight fans the fights they want to see," White said. "What I think ...doesn't matter. I've been trying to get this guy in the UFC. I want it because you (fans) want it."
Additionally, if Emelianenko is signed, expect him in a championship bout immediately.
"He'll fight for the title first," White said.
Finally, as for Affliction, White remained tight-lipped and wouldn't confirm today's earlier report that the UFC would again allow the company tosponsor fighters (with the organization ceasing the promotion of MMA events).
However, he dropped a big hint.
"These guys are good at making clothes," he said. "They're not in the fight business. We are."

"Collaboration" between the UFC and Affliction officially announced
by Dann Stupp on Jul 24, 2009 at 10:55 pm ET
Today's earlier report of a deal between Affliction and the Ultimate Fighting Championship has been officially announced.
Affliction, which launched a fight series in 2008 after it was banned as a UFC sponsor, today canceled its latest show, "Affliction: Trilogy," whichwas scheduled for Aug. 1 in California.
As expected, Affliction will no longer promote MMA shows and instead will return to the UFC octagon as an officially approved sponsor.
-------------------------------
what are your thoughts on the UFC and ESPN pairing together? I think it will do good for promotion but the way UFC is covered I think will be poor....yourtake?

I really doubt the UFC is going to pick up those contracts. OD money and non-exclusive? I can see some fighters happen because the contracts voidafter 6 months (I think) or after another company picks up the remaining fights on the contracts. I wouldn't really call it a blessing in disguise for theUFC considering this still puts them in the same boat for Fedor. Now Vitor

I think Affliction closing down is the best thing for them. Overpaying for fighters wasn't gonna work out in the long run. Sponsoring for the UFC is theirbest move IMO...
Also Anyone else pist about the Nick Diaz/Joe Riggs Cancellation? First Overeem fight gets cancelled now this one ? Good thing I didn't buy my ticket to goto Strikeforce.

^ Yeah i was really looking forward to Diaz/Riggs.
Diaz has been on an absolute TEAR lately.
with his recent phenomenal displays of subs and extremely technical boxing, i think the UFC will try and re-sign Diaz once his stint in Strikeforce is up
