Everyone and their Affliction shirt remembers Gabriel Gonzaga knocking out Mirko Filipovic in one of the sport’s all time upsets. But the card was more than just the viscera of seeing Mirko eat his own medicine, and waking up with his ankle tucked away in his upper back. It also had a fun undercard with names that included Terry Etim (a hot prospect at the time), Matt Grice, Junior Assuncao, Alessio Sakara, and Dennis Siver. And welterweight prospect, Paul Taylor.
