Affliction has officially announced on October 11 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, their second event titled ‘Day Of Reckoning’.
The main event will feature Andre Arlovski taking on Josh Barnett. Expect to see one hell of a fight between these two Former UFC Heavyweight Champs.
It was rumored that this fight was originally supposed to be headlined between Fedor Emelianenko and Andre Arlovski. Due to a hand injury Fedor was forced to pull out.
Both Barnett and Arlovski are coming off very impressive wins in the first Affliction show. Arlovski looked like the old ‘Pitbull’ he once was. He has been working with boxing coach Freddie Roach and it has clearly paid of for him. Arlovski’s striking looked very sharp and accurate.
Barnett got redemption over Pedro Rizzo with a beautiful knock it at ‘Banned’. Barnett will need to come out hungry and look for another knock out.
This fight should determine who will square off with Fedor in the third Affliction event. Either fight is sure to give Fedor a great run for the belt.
Another fight officially announced is Middleweight Vitor Belfort and Matt Lindland. Along with a possible show down between Tito Ortiz and Renato Sobral which is still in the works. check back soon as more bouts will be added.
