I'd wait and see what Trump's involvement is before getting wildly over-excited.
Could be interesting though.

Yeah, the "partnership" may not be anything more than Trump getting paid a million to go around saying how great Affliction is and this and that.
Saying how great Fedor is, will probably be the first time Trump isn't full of hot air.

Donal Trump will bring the proper funds to Affliction to keep its head above water until they take over other MMA organizations who are seeking sponsors and capital."

According to FOX Sports (and other media):
Trump will also announce that he has become an equity partner in the Affliction promotion. When asked what percentage of the organization Trump now owns, Cohen would only say "a significant amount."
...
"Due to the status of the Trump mark, and Donald Trump as a mogul business man, Mr. Trump has received dozens of phone calls from fighters who are interested in joining the Affliction family."
