Fedor vs. Arlovski Bout Scrapped
5 oz. of Pain is reporting that they have received word that the proposed Affliction bout between Fedor Emelianenko and Andrei Arlovski is being scrapped due to a lingering hand injury Emelianenko has been dealing with. It has also been reported recently that Fedor's name was removed from the promotion area on the Thomas and Mack Center's website.
As a replacement main event, Affliction is now said to be negotiating with Josh Barnett to take on Arlovski. This may work out to be for the better as many people couldn't agree which of the two was more deserving of a title shot. Now we could get a number 1 contender's match followed by a title shot at the third Affliction event.
