Petruzelli, Monson, Nelson Return at "March Badness" Boxing/MMA Event
Seth Petruzelli, the flamingly heterosexual UFC vet who jabbed-out Kimbo Slice at EliteXC: Heat in October then accidentally admitted he was bribed to keep the fight standing, will be facing Doug "Rhino" Marshall, the former WEC light-heavyweight champion who lost his belt to Brian...

Arlovski Signs with Golden Boy, Will Box Next, and Why Not?
You may recall that Arlovski’s trainer, Freddie Roach, said he’d like to see Arlovski take on heavyweight boxing champ Nikolai Valuev if he was victorious against Fedor. Of course, he wasn’t, so maybe Valuev won’t be Arlovski’s first opponent, which is probably just as well. But whoeve...

Knockout of the Day: Jay Hieron vs. Jason High
Originally scheduled for the undercard of Affliction's Day of Reckoning show last Saturday, the welterweight bout between IFL/UFC vet Jay Hieron and 6-0 prospect Jason High had to be postponed to the very end of the lineup due to time constraints — as in, directly after Fedor vs. Andrei, w...

CagePotato Comments of the Week
Gegard Mousasi accidentally interrupts Tito Ortiz's brilliance at "Day of Reckoning" last Saturday. No, this has nothing to do with your comments; I just thought it was hilarious. Props to VIPete/Gnarly219.) realNick on "Affliction Payouts Are as Ludicrous as You Expect...": Never reali...

Videos: Danablog #2 (aka “Pinkberry Makes You Crazy”), Arlovski Thanks “Classy Fans,” + Mosley-Margarito
Andrei Arlovski comes home to Chicago and thanks his fans for their support after his loss, which he attributes to a stupid mistake. His cameraman, playing the role of the enabling sycophant, insists it was just necessary risk-taking, but Andrei knows better. He also tosses another jab...

Freddie Roach Says The Fight Was Too Easy For Arlovski
I agree with Roach on one point: Arlovski did make a mistake. As for the rest of his explanation, it’s just more evidence that Roach doesn’t understand the differences between MMA and boxing. In the boxing world, a man who wins via one-punch knockout after landing fewer punches than his op...
The Potato Index: Affliction Aftermath
There was a lot to love and hate about Affliction’s second effort, from the free undercard on HDNet to the painfully moronic antics of Scott Ferrall and Chuck Zito. We’ve been crunching the numbers on every aspect of the event since it ended on Saturday night, and here’s what we came up wit...

Videos: Affliction "Day of Reckoning"
Be honest, when Fedor's legs went briefly wobbly at around the 0:17 mark, you thought to yourself, 'Oh shit, Arlovski might actually do it.' Then Arlovski jumped into one of those "overhand murderballs" that Goldstein warned against, and you remembered, 'Oh yeah, it's Fedor in there.'

Ben vs. Ben: Affliction "Day of Reckoning" Edition
Of course, three has always been their magic number. That’s how many shows they said they were committed to, and it would give them the chance to put on the Josh Barnett-Fedor Emelianenko fight they’ve obviously been angling for since the start. But if Arlovski’s getting over a million bu...

Andrei Arlovski to Earn Over $1 Million for "Day of Reckoning"
With escalator clauses in his contract, his fight in the main event of Affliction’s Saturday pay-per-view card at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., will pay him in excess of $1 million, a number confirmed by UFC officials, who had right of first refusal on Arlovski’s new contract.

Video: Fedor vs. Andrei In-Depth
According to our current poll, about 75% of you think Fedor Emelianenko is going to beat Andrei Arlovski during their "Day of Reckoning" main event fight on January 24th. (Also, more of you think the fight will end with a no contest due to accidental cut than a submission win for Arlovski.) Th...

Top 10 Fights on My Christmas Wish List
3. Fedor Emelianenko vs. Josh Barnett: If he beats Arlovski, this is the only realistically possible bout for Fedor that would still be compelling. I know they’re friends and all, but Affliction is starting to feel like a narrowing path leading only to this fight. Hopefully all parties con...

Fedor Says You Should Calm Down About His Sambo Loss
In other words, don’t get your hopes up, Andrei Arlovski. Fedor hasn’t fallen off just yet. (’It would be pleasure to hurt hand on your face very much.’) Fedor Emelianenko broke his silence about his Combat Sambo loss this past weekend, telling Dave Meltzer that it’s no biggie. Sambo’s just so...

EliteXC Ref Explains Nelson-Arlovski Stand-Up
Of course, what he “got going” was a stand-up fight that was most definitely more in Arlovski’s favor than Nelson’s. That’s not to say that Nelson would have won without the stand-up, but he had achieved a dominant position on the mat with plenty of time left in the round.

Could Affliction Possibly Have Gotten Their Money’s Worth on Saturday Night?
Before his bout with Andrei Arlovski on Saturday night, Roy Nelson said he wasn’t completely sure who was signing his check. Now we not only know it was Affliction, but we also know that “Big Country” and Arlovski made a combined $580,000 to represent the clotheir-turned-promoter on CBS. T...
