The following is an excerpt from Sherdog.com who earlier today broke news of this bout:
"[Sylvia] is a good fighter, a strong fighter, the former UFC heavyweight champion, which is important," Emelianenko said via telephone from Stary Oskol, Russia. "I am looking forward to fighting him and training hard for this fight."
While Emelianenko was short on details, Sherdog.com has learned through sources close to the negotiations that Fedor-Sylvia would headline a card tentatively scheduled for the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, the home base of HDNet Fights.
It was also mentioned in the article that Affliction could possibly have a hand in the promotion of the event and that it will most likely air on HDNet Fights
