Affliction, the premier fashion label for men who love hard rock and fast living, will make history presenting its own Mixed-Martial-Arts pay-per-view event in association with Roy Englebrecht Events, appropriately named "Affliction Banned," featuring the much-anticipated return of Russian heavyweight superstar Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko in association with M-1, supported by an All-World caliber undercard, July 19th at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Buy you tickets before the general public at Ticket Master with the code word "banned2008".
Fedor (27-1), the former undisputed PRIDE® heavyweight champion and Russian M-1 legend, has been universally recognized the past five years as the most dominating heavyweight in the world. He will face former 2-time UFC® heavyweight title-holder Tim "The Maine-iac" Sylvia (24-4), fighting out of Iowa by way of his native Maine.
The exciting four-fight undercard is loaded with Josh "The Baby Faced Assassin" Barnett (21-5), of Seattle, facing-off stateside for the first time in two years in a grudge match against the only opponent to ever knock him out, Brazilian strongman Pedro "The Rock" Rizzo (16-7).
Three-time All-America wrestler Mike Whitehead (20-5), of Salt Lake City, will battle Brazilian sensation Renato "Babalu" Sobral (29-7), of Costa Mesa, California. 2000 Olympic wrestling silver medalist Matt "The Law" Lindland (20-5), of Oregon City, faces Brazilian favorite Fabio "Negao" Nascimento (8-3). Former IFL® titlist "Big" Ben Rothwell (29-5), of Kenosha, Wisconsin, is scheduled to fight an opponent to be determined in this groundbreaking event.

i like how ppl like u are so fast to judge based on some comments on internet. Its ok to be proud of someone who is from your country, no ? Just like with Phelps or Jordan. But i think that whole world should be proud of so ppl. They show us where are the limits at this moment of time.
When people say "This is what you get if you mess with Russia, a WHOLE Army of Fedors" Which is what I was responding too, of course I have to laugh, that would be like me saying, this is what you get when you jump in our swimming pool in American, a whole Army of Michael Phelps.
I'm very proud of Fedor, Michael Phelps and Jordan but I don't think I am as good as them, or threaten people with it. I hate how fags like you think that is ok.
Are you ignorant or what america always tries to claim the best athletes. Always in its history. You always claim your the best at everything. When the truth is your the best at getting fat and causing green house gasses.
No you fucking ignorant piece of shit. If you could read, you'd understand. I'm tired of Russian guys thinking they are as tough as Fedor, just because they are geographically from the same place. You fucking stupid piece of shit.
