"I'm extremely honored to serve as COO for Affliction
Entertainment," Mr. Cohen said. "MMA is the fastest growing sport
in the world and I've been a tremendous fan for years. I can assure
everyone - fans watching on pay-per-view and those in attendance
from all over the world - that our upcoming pay-per-view show will
be the greatest MMA night ever. I'm nearly speechless knowing Mr.
Trump and Affliction have the trust in me for an event that
features the greatest assembly of MMA fighters for one show in MMA
history. This is like having Ali, Frazier, Tyson, Holyfield and
other top heavyweights all on the same boxing card. It's
unprecedented and will revolutionize the way MMA fans view this
sport."
