|  Lil Nog Signs with Affliction
Damn, how are they affording to pay all these big names?

Aleksander Emelianenko (Pictures) will fight Paul Buentello (Pictures) at Affliction's debut event July 19 in Anaheim, Calif., the promotion announced Tuesday.
Emelianenko, the younger brother of Fedor Emelianenko (Pictures), has won four straight bouts. He holds a record of 13-3, with wins over Sergei Kharitonov (Pictures), Assuerio Silva (Pictures) and Pawel Nastula (Pictures).
Buentello, 25-10, had also won four straight before Alistair Overeem (Pictures) defeated him in Strikeforce last November.
Affliction also announced the signing of Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (Pictures). The brother of UFC interim heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (Pictures), Rogerio is 13-3 in MMA. He fought most recently in February, stopping Todd Gouwenberg (Pictures) in the second round of a Hardcore Championship Fighting bout in Canada.

I didn't think Alexander could fight in the states for some reason.

I just hope they can find some other LHWs to put against him, Rogerio still has the potential to be #1 at 205lbs

Is Alexs v. Paul going to be on the main card, there is no word on the website as of right now. I would figure it would have to be, but what fight do they bump or just go over the alotted time?

I was suspicious of Affliction's ability to sustain their effort - but they are doing well in their effort to gather major star power.
