SEAL BEACH, California (June 3, 2009) Russian combat fighting legend Fedor The Last Emperor Emelianenko defends his WAMMA heavyweight title against No. 1 contender Josh The Babyfaced Assassin Barnett, when Affliction M1Global presents its third major mixed martial-arts show, Trilogy, Saturday night, August 1 live on pay-per-view from Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

The monster card has been separated into two live broadcasts in the same night. A one-hour special will air on HDNet starting at 7:30 PM/ET (4:30 PM/PT), followed by a sensational pay-per-view event, Trilogy, commencing at 9 PM/ET (6 PM/PT).

Trilogy, promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and presented by Affliction M-1 Global in association with Donald J. Trump, features many of the premier MMA fighters in the world, including former undisputed PRIDE® heavyweight champion Emelianenko (30-1-0), star of Afflictions first two shows.

Fedor defeated a pair of former UFC® heavyweight title-holders, Tim Maine-iac Sylvia (SUB1) in Affliction Banned and Andrei The Pitbull Arlovski (KO1) in Day Of Reckoning, a Honda Center. Emelianenko is undisputedly the most lethal man in MMA and the definitive heavyweight mix-martial-arts fighter in the world. His only loss came in 2000, the result of an illegal elbow thrown by Tsuyoshi Kohsaka, which caused a cut so severe that officials had to stop the fight out of safety to the fighter.

In addition to being the best heavyweight fighter in the world, Fedor is also Russias most popular performer and a genuine Russian icon, the darling of the Kremlin and a favorite of former Russian president, Vladimir Putin, who has regularly attended his fights. In addition to the aforementioned Sylvia and Arlovski, Emelianenkos resume includes impressive triumphs against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (twice), Mirko Filipovic and Heath Herring.


Emelianenkos stiffest career challenge, however, remains ahead in Trilogy against another former UFC heavyweight champion, Barnett (24-5-0), who has the size (6-3, 250-pounds), strength, conditioning and experience to present problems for any fighter, even Fedor. Barnetts punching power forced Gilbert The Hurricane Yvel to submit at Day Of Reckoning and Josh stopped Pedro Rizzo in the second round of their fight on Affliction Banned.

Barnetts victims also include Randy Couture, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Jeff Monson and Dan Savern. The Babyfaced Assassin has already defeated one Emelianenko, Fedors brother Aleksander, back in 2006 by second-round submission (keylock).



Tickets for Trilogy, ranging between $50.00 and $1,000.00, go on sale June 9 at Honda Center Box Office (1.714.704.2500) and also online at Ticketmaster.com and all Ticket Master outlets (1.714.740.2000).

God damn it, Josh. I've been a fan for a long while now but.......you've managed to single-handedly destroy Affliction: Trilogy. I don't know if I can still be a fan so while I think about it, I hope you think about what you've done and what you will do. Get your shit straight and come back to us.

[INITIALSJE]

Josh Barnhart better watch himself against Feiydor. He's a real tough guy!!!

[kungfujellybean]

Haha, quit whining you pussy.

"He just got unlucky" , Pfft, if by unlucky you mean he tested positive for STEROIDS TWICE IN A ROW. I mean, you'd think the big inbred moron would learn his lesson the first time. But nope, he's too retarded.

And so are you, you're blocked bitch, now you can't even respond. I win, you lose.

@Spoofkilla19 your calling barnett a wimp for that then your calling almost all pro athletes wimps. wake up and open your eyes. some of you fans are so blind as to what goes on and only believe the bullshit media instead of actually finding out for yourselves what goes on.

@kungfujellybean fuck you you faggot piece of trash. he just got unlucky. maybe if you fit into that clique you would realize almost all athletes are very similar. go shoot your eye out you blind piece of shit.
