New promotion Affliction, run by the clothing company of the same name, has announced some of their fights for their fight card.
Headlining the event will be the now official fight between UFC Veteran Tim Sylvia, and former Pride Heavyweight Champ Fedor Emelianenko. This will be Fedor's first real test since he left Pride.
The co-main event is Josh Barnett versus Pedro Rizzo. While many think of Rizzo as an old fighter past his prime, this is not the case, and will be a tough fight for Barnett, who will be looking to avenge a previous loss to Rizzo.
The event is expected to take place in California on July 19th. The fight card to date looks like this:
Fedor Emelianenko vs. Tim Sylvia
Josh Barnett vs. Pedro Rizzo
Matt Lindland vs. Fabio Negao
Renato Sobral vs. Mike Whitehead
Aleksander Emelianenko vs. Paul Buentello (not yet official)
Ben Rothwell vs. TBA
Mark Hominick vs. Savant Young
Justin Levens vs. Ray Lazama
Mike Pyle vs. Brett Cooper
