Am so pumped for this fight. I think Arlovski has a much better chance against Fedor. I think Fedor still wins, but it will go longer than 36 seconds.
And in Vegas no less. UFC isn't going to be doing another show in Vegas until the event at the end of the year if that.
Longtime PRIDE heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko (28-1) and former UFC heavyweight title-holder Andrei Arlovski (13-5) -- the biggest winners and clear-cut fan favorites at this past weekend's "Affliction: Banned" event -- will headline the rookie organization's next show on Oct. 11.
Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports was the first to confirm the date and heavyweight main event.
As we previously reported, a Nov. 8 date and Atlantic City location had been under consideration, but instead, Affliction will head to Las Vegas for a show at the Thomas & Mack Center on the UNLV campus.
Formal announcement of the show is expected on Tuesday, according to Yahoo! Sports.
