The production was a little slow, even though conversely 5 fights on the WEC card went over the 2 hours alloted for the event, but the ratings were solid and CBS has deep pockets to make subsequent events bigger, better and more efficient.
Now, the Affliction event in a month and a half? Talk about legit MMA talent outside the UFC. Wowzers, Sylvia, Arlovski, Fedor, Barnett, a surging Rizzo, and now with Trump possibly Tito Ortiz and Randy Couture?

I'll give you Fedor, but the others? Definitely the best outside of the UFC, but there's a reason those guys aren't in the UFC anymore. Sylvia is a joke. Arlovski is a has been. Tito and Couture are in that boat too. Barnet and Rizzo are decent.
