Affliction vs. UFC on July 19: Who Has the Better Promotional Video?

Here's the promotional video for the July 19 UFC Fight Night on Spike, featuring a main event of Anderson Silva vs. James Irvin:

After the jump is the promo for Affliction: Banned on pay-per-view the same night, and we ask: Who's got the better video?

So who has the better video?

Affliction obviously spent a lot more money on the production, and the finished result is slick. But I actually like the UFC video better because it promotes UFC Fight Night as a sporting event, whereas the Affliction video treats the fighters more as spectacles.

Ultimately, I want to watch Silva or Fedor Emelianenko for the same reason I want to watch Peyton Manning or Kobe Bryant: They're great athletes and I like watching the competition. That's the way MMA should be promoted.
