First thought is just Wow! Fedor completely dominated Tim Sylvia. The fight was over in 36 seconds and better for Fedor and Affliction it ended in exciting fashion.
Fedor absolutley demolished Sylvia standing and quickly finished him with a rear naked choke I dont think anyone saw it coming that fast or saw it ending that quick. It definitely helps build Fedor's rep with US fans.
The rest of the fights were decent with a few outstanding fights by Vitor Belfort, Andrei Arlovski and Mark Hominick
The fights overall ended as expected, there want any upsets and all the fighters you would have predicted to win did.
The production value just wasnt there, but that can be fixed as their team works together more. Affliction definitely needs to get some videos of previous fights to highlight the fighter entrances and give some hype to the fight ahead of time.
Hopefully they ditch the music act as it just slowed the pace of the show and overall didnt add much quality to it.
