Affliction Entertainment in association with Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino presents Affliction “Day of Reckoning.”
Coming off the success of its inaugural fight card, “Affliction Banned,” Affliction Entertainment is pleased to announce Affliction “Day of Reckoning” featuring heavyweights Andre Arlovski vs. Josh Barnett.
The Oct. 11 card will feature 11 bouts, showcasing Affliction heavyweights Andre “The Pitbull” Arlovski vs. former UFC heavyweight champ Josh Barnett. Arlovski and Barnett both participated in “Affliction Banned” held at the Honda Center July 19 in Anaheim, Cal. Competing in separate bouts, both fighters registered impressive wins over Ben Rothwell and Pedro Rizzo respectively, and will now face each other which could possibly set up a future showdown for the winner with Fedor Emelianenko, the recognized undisputed heavyweight champion of the sport. Both fighters are excited to be a part of Affliction “Day of Reckoning.”
“I am looking forward to a very exciting fight with Josh Barnett on the Oct. 11 Affliction show,” said Arlovski. “I was extremely pleased with my last performance and looking forward to giving fans another great fight.”
“Andre is a very talented fighter with a lot of skill and heart,” said Barnett. “But fighting in Las Vegas in front the most knowledgeable MMA fan base in the country will be a great motivator for me to train hard and give him the challenge of his career.”
Other fighters stepping into the ring that evening will include Matt Lindland, a native of Oregon City, Oregon, fighting against former UFC champ Vitor Belfort; International Fight League light heavyweight champion Vladimir Matyushenko taking on Antonio Rogerio Nogueira; and Las Vegas native Roy “Big Country” Nelson taking on Paul "The Headhunter" Buentello.
A complete list of bouts on the card for Affliction “Day of Reckoning” will be announced at a later date.
