Just yesterday sherdog released that Fedor will be facing Tim Sylvia over the summer. DreamFighters.com has learned through some sources, and also on the Savage Dog Show, that they have added some fights to the fight card. Here are the rumored bouts:
Tim Sylvia Vs. Fedor
Andrei Arlovski Vs. Ben Rothwell
Babalu Vs. Mike Whitehead
Pedro Rizzo Vs. Josh Barnett
Alexander Emelienenko vs. TBA
These are however rumors, and from limited sources, but we will bring you confirmation once it happens.
That rumoured card looks far too good to be true, they should add Vitor Vs Tito II for the icing on the cake. :thumbsup:
His only shaft was being on the undercard in his last fight. When he lost the title he got an instant rematch three months later, then he got fed Cruz (won that), fought a top ten guy in Werdum (won that). . . then the shaft.
I'm just wondering is Joe Silva doing the matchmaking for this card to because their is no reason to put Arlovski, Aleks E., and Barnett on a card and have none of them face each other. The matchups should be Aleks E. vs Arlovski and then Barnett vs Rothwell but why put Rizzo in there.
However this card looks sick. I mean that is at least 6 of the top 15 HW's and probably 5 of the top 10.
I call bull shit on this. Alexs E. would have serious issues to fighting in the states, with his criminal past.
Rothwell, Fedor and Sylvia ok.
Babalu is going to have a fight very soon for HCF
Pedro Rizzo isn't up to much so he's good.
Barnett got pro wrastlin dates.
Nobody has herd anything about Arlovski, and usually contract talks would come up somewhere.
But if the stars allign and Afliction, ADRENELINE~! MMA and Mark Cuban got money to waste then why not. Hell this blows out any possible hw match ups the ufc can make right now. Like Nogueira/Werdum seems like the only legit title fight they can do, which seems pretty bad.
Im with ya, I call BS aswell. I shall wait for some concrete news on this.
