Megadeth to Perform at Affliction MMA Event?
So I return from a quick business trip today from San Francisco (no, not for this site! It’s called a day job!) and am in need of some dinner. I head down the street for a San Diego treat: a California burrito (carne asada, cheese, avocado, and hash brown potatoes inside!). As I sit down to eat, I pick up a copy of San Diego Citybeat and what do I see advertised? A advertisement for the upcoming Affliction: Banned event, which takes place in Anaheim, California on July 19th.
And stapled on Fedor Emelianenko’s head (of all places):
SPECIAL PERFORMANCE BY MEGADETH!
I almost choked on my burrito.
I was one of the biggest Megadeth fans in the world in high school. So I can appreciate Megadeth more than most people. However I know the general consensus among MMA fans was that they did not want to see Busta Rhymes at CBS EliteXC Saturday Night Fights. There is a decent chance that Megadeth’s presence at the Affliction: Banned event will not be well-received as well.
But who knows. If you are interested in seeing Megadeth play, or seeing the fights at Affliction: Banned, tickets are still on sale. Definitely check it out if you love both.
