Affliction Website Promotes Affliction: Day of Reckoning

Fedor Emelianenko will apparently meet Andrei Arlovski in the Affliction: Day of Reckoning main event, after all.

 

Although Affliction Entertainment Vice President Tom Atencio recently declined to confirm any details of the event, the organization's website now promotes a Jan. 24 headline fight between the current WAMMA heavyweight champion and the former UFC title-holder.

 

Josh Barnett, Matt Lindland, Vitor Belfort, Vladimir Matyushenko, Jay Hieron, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Renato "Babalu" Sobral and Chris Horodecki are also promoted as event participants.

 

The event was originally scheduled to take place Oct. 11 in Las Vegas, but Affliction: Day of Reckoning organizers postponed the event last month. As MMAjunkie.com previously mentioned, a new partnership with Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions was cited as the reason for the postponement, but slow ticket sales may also have factored into the decision.

 

Affliction: Day of Reckoning is expected to take place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. The main card will air on pay per view, and the preliminary card is slated to air on HDNet.

 

Arlovski was last seen successfully defeating IFL champion Roy Nelson at Elite Xtreme Combat: CBS Saturday Night Fights 3 earlier this month. The bout was a co-promoted affair between Affliction and the now-defunct EliteXC, which recently alerted the Nevada State Athletic Commission that it's ceased operations.

 

Prior to the Nelson victory, Arlovski defeated former IFL stand-out Ben Rothwell at Affliction's debut event in July. At that same event, Emelianenko defeated former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia with a quick submission victory in the night's main event.
