MMA Rated's Ariel Helwani posted an interesting interview with play-by-play extraordinaire Mauro Ranallo from the Trump/Affliction press conference today in New York. In it, Ranallo talks about the Elite XC CBS show including the controversial Kimbo/Thompson stoppage, the refereeing on the whole for the night, as well as the post-fight press conference controversy.

Ranallo also talks about Affliction's plans, and hints that he may be calling the action at Affliction's July 19th debut show, BANNED.
