IFL Standouts Try To Leave Their Mark at Affliction

As a man who enjoys looking at an under card and examining it to the fullest, I see that Affliction is unbelievably stacked.

Even the non-televised fights look like they will shape up to be exciting.

This especially includes IFL standouts Savant Young and Ben Rothwell; not to mention Mike Whitehead who had a stint in the IFL.

Ben Rothwell is on a tear and seems unstoppable.

He is given little chance against former UFC champ Andrei Arlovski.

If Ben can manage a huge upset here it would skyrocket his career.

This may also bring new up and coming heavyweights to the IFL eager to repeat Rothwell's success.

This may be a win for both affliction and the IFL.

Next, there is explosive striker Savant Young.

His bricks made him one of the more feared fighters in the IFL, but in the bigger promotions such as dream he has foiled.

His loss in Dream is most likely what kept him non-televised.

If he had won he may have been televised. His quick hands are always a treat to watch.

Savant's opponent Mark Hominick Is well trained and is also a good striker. He has displayed this in both the UFC and WEC.

Finally, Mike Whitehead is tough Ultimate Fighter alum that can brawl.

He seems to have little chance against a talent like Babalu. He doe have a punchers chance though, and in this sport anything can happen.

It will be an uphill battle for the IFL but if they can pull off a few victories it may bring credibility to this now weak corporation.
