Andrei Arlovski To Sign With Affliction As Early 5/19
The following is from an article on SI.com:
Andrei Arlovski will likely sign with Affliction’s upstart MMA promotion as soon as May 19th, according to SI. com.
From the report:
May 19 is the day when Andrei Arlovski could sign with Affliction, SI. com has learned. That is, assuming the UFC declines to match what is believed to be a deal that pays the former UFC champion in the low-to-mid six figures for the first of three non-exclusive bouts.
A representative from Arlovski’s camp explained there was “nothing to report,” though continued on to say negotiations with the UFC were ongoing.
UFC President Dana White recently told Yahoo! Sports that, while he hoped to retain Arlovski, there was doubt as to whether that would actually happen.
Should Arlovski and Affliction complete their deal, the Belarusian is expected to appear at next Tuesday’s press conference at the in Century City, Calif., to announce a fight against former International Fight League heavyweight champion Ben Rothwell.
