Default Rumor: Arlovski vs Rothwell at Affliction: Banned
Please move if repost

Quote:
mmalinker.com - Affliction just announced today that Andre Arlovski and Ben Rothwell will fight each other at Affliction: Banned on July 19.

The “Banned” fight card will be the first show promoted by Affliction and has one of the best fight cards of the year. Both Rothwell and Arlovski are under contract with Adrenaline MMA but are fighting with permission on the Affliction card. Since the inaugural Adrenaline event is just a month earlier, both fighters will not be available for the Adrenaline show. The Adrenaline website does say both fighters are still scheduled to compete on the second Adrenaline fight card on September 6.

Here is the current fight card for the Affliction: Banned event:

Fedor Emelianenko vs Tim Sylvia
Josh Barnett vs Pedro Rizzo
Ben Rothwell vs Andre Arlovski
Aleksander Emelianenko vs Paul Buentello
Matt Lindland vs Fabio Negao
Renato Sobral vs Mike Whitehead
Savant Young vs Mark Hominick
Brett Cooper vs Mike Pyle
Ray Lamaza vs Justin Levens
JJ Ambrose vs Patrick Speight
I didn't know Arlovski signed with Adrenaline! Great fight and great card but I give the fight to Arlovski.

This also sets up some other great fights in Fedor Vs. AA and AA Vs. Barnett.

I'd honestly rather see Sylvia fight Rizzo and Barnett fighting Fedor on this card though.
I think the UFC made a big mistake not taking care of AA...the HW division is lookin pretty sparse....imo

IMO this is a bad move for AA, if he doesnt fight Barnett or Fedor after Rothwell he'd be better off stayin with the UFC IMO

Adrenaline's matchmaking is iffy, It looks to me like they are just trying to give AA and Aleks wins in their debuts, when they could actually be having those two fight in a huge dream match. Same could be said about Barnett

becuase fighting Jake O'brien on undercards is just oh so helpfull for his career?

Damn I was not wanting to see AA leave the UFC but this card looks fucking NICE!! i wonder how they are affording to pay all these top fighters. They are really setting one hell of a high bar for any of their future events lol. Guess that is the point to draw a hell of a lot of attention to their brand with this huge debut.

couldn't agree more. After seeing the Nog/Mir TUF show I wondered what happened to Arlovski.

those two fight are all I need.lol

Those could be the whole PPV.
Well do you have any reference on what kind of contracts these fighters signed? I just wonder if we will see this bad ass debut card and then never see a card like this from Adrenaline again.

Is that confirmed. Because the other article talking about AA says nothing about him fighting else where.

I don't believe it until the fight actually happens or AA comes out an says i am fighting so an so on this date.
