M-1 and Fedor Emelianenko Sue Affliction Over Cancelled Event
 Date submitted: 04 November 2009
Author: Kris Karkoski
M-1 and Fedor Emelianenko have filed a lawsuit against Affliction Clothing, Affliction Entertainment, and other unnamed parties alleging breach of contract stemming from the cancellation of Affliction: Trilogy and folding of the MMA promotion earlier this year as part of a deal struck with the UFC.
Affliction: Trilogy was to take place on August 1 in Anaheim, California, but was put in doubt when headliner Josh Barnett, who was to fight Emelianenko in the pay-per-view's main event, tested positive for steroids and was forced off the card in late-July. The event was ultimately canceled citing the promotion's inability to secure a suitable replacement, though the lawsuit alleges that Brett Rogers was "ready, willing, and able" to fight Fedor at the event and that Affliction "elected to serve its own financial interests at the expense of its partners".
Emelianenko and Rogers are now slated to headline Saturday's Strikeforce event on CBS, which is co-promoted by M-1.
The lawsuit outlines a number of allegations regarding the relationship between M-1 and Affliction, most of which concern the deal between Affliction and the UFC which resulted in the cancellation of the event and closure of Affliction Entertainment, an independent branch of the company which promoted MMA events, even though a viable replacement opponent had been secured and the show could have taken place as scheduled.
Bloody Elbow and MMA Payout have further details on the lawsuit, including that wording of the complaint makes it appear likely that the UFC will soon be added as a defendant alongside Affliction.
