Fedor vs Arlovski Oct 11
Fedor vs. Arlovski at Affliction 2 (Oct. 11, Las Vegas)
Yahoo! Sports passes along the big news: Affliction will be having its second event on October 11th at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, featuring a main event heavyweight brawl between Fedor Emelianenko and Andrei Arlovski. No other matches are announced at this time.
Emelianenko has fought at the Thomas & Mack before, submitting Mark Coleman at PRIDE 32, which was held at the arena in October 2006. Without a doubt it will chap the ass of Dana White for Affliction to be holding an event in his backyard, and a counter-programming show would seem to be out of the question as well, as the UFC already has events planned on October 18th (UFC 89) and October 25th (UFC 90).
As suggested before, Affliction following up its debut event in less than three months is crucial to its momentum, and the timing in relation to the UFC’s events is perfect. You couldn’t ask for a better main event, though I’m a little surprised that Josh Barnett isn’t being thrown at Fedor first; from a marketing standpoint, American vs. Russian beats Russian vs. Belarusian, and MMA fans have been begging for a Barnett/Emelianenko showdown since their tenures in PRIDE.
Good Luck Andre!!

With Aleksander testing positive for Hep B he may never be able to fight in the US.

In a recent interview with Aleks that hep b rumor was bullshit. He had visa issues preventing him getting to Cali earlier. The CSAC wants all the medical stuff cleared way in advance, he passed but was a day or two late.

Now Arlovski is fighting Barnett, and winner gets Fedor. Apparently Fedor broke his hand.
