FiveOuncesOfPain.com learned late Friday that a proposed main event for Affliction’s second-ever show on Oct. 11 between WAMMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko and Andrei Arlovski appears to be off for the time being.
A reliable source speaking on the condition of anonyomity revealed to Five Ounces of Pain that Emelianenko has been dealing with a lingering hand injury that will make it virtually impossible for him to be ready in time for Affliction’s October show at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Retract my earlier comment, looks like the Want to make Arlovski vs Barnett
Arlovski is expected to remain on the card and event organizers are said to be looking into finalizing a bout between Arlovski and Josh Barnett to serve as the show’s new main event.

AA first round KO! No way he'll GnP AA, its turning into Pride again, Barnett could beat Fedor if he could get past the guys standing in his way. Or maybe I'm just a nuthugger!

yea, that was the only downer of the first Afflicition, alot of loopsided match ups (not a single underdog won), but now the winner of that card facing each other defenately makes for more even matches.

I remember reading that he had a hand injury on the list of injuries for the show. So I thought this could happen, but then I said to myself. "Well Vitor broke his hand, and he's fighting so how much worse could Fedor's be?"

wow, this is a sweet, sweet match up. i like this one better than the fedor-arlovski fight. arlovski definitely has the edge standing up, but barnett i believe has the edge on the ground, but both are well rounded.
i dont know how to pick this one yet

Fedor has chronic hand problems. The power he's able to produce is amazing and it seems to take a huge toll on his hands. I think Barney will get AA, If AA can keep it up and at a bit of a distance he can use kicks leading to a win, but Barney's so well rounded I think he's a bit of a favorite.

perhaps Barnett will finally get some of the recognition he deserves with an impressive performance here. I see this fight playing out similar to Barnett's fight with Aleskander Emelianenko, he'll start to lose the fight on the feet and he'll take down Arlovski and submit him. Arlovski did look amazing against Rothwell, so these two should make for a very intriguing fight.

still a good fight, but i think this is a bad match-up for barneet cause AA is amazing on his feet n very hard to takedown. AA 2nd RD KO/TKO.... cant wait to see AA v fedor been waiting so long for that fight
