Affliction Banned Results: Fedor, Arlovski VictoriousWelcome to Fightline.com's live, round-by-round coverage of Affliction Banned. Tonight's fight card comes to us live from Anaheim, California.

Remember to keep refreshing this page for the most up to date results by hitting F5 on your keyboard. Now, on to the action!

Affliction is using a ring like PRIDE as opposed to a cage. Not sure how good of an idea that is as most MMA fans in the U.S. equate MMA with a cage. Frank Trigg and Jay Glazer are doing the announcing.

PRELIMINARY FIGHTS

Gary Goodridge vs. Paul Buentello

Buentello defeated Goodridge via unanimous decisions with all judges scoring the fight 30-27.

For some reason, Mark Hominick vs. Trenell Young isn't going on next. Maybe they figured that Aleksander Emelianenko (who Goodridge filled in for) would finish Buentello quickly, because there seem to be timing issues. Anyway, on the FSN show the aired the Goodridge - Buentello fight on a delay and now we're going live to Vitor Belfort vs. Terry Martin. So far the show seems a little unorganized, and the announcers don't seem to know what's happening.

Vitor 'The Phenom' Belfort (16-8-0) vs. Terry Martin (16-4-0)

Belfort came to the ring first with Martin coming in second to 'Beat It'. That's the first time I can remember seeing a fighter coming in to Michael Jackson. They cut to a commercial.

The referee is Josh Rosenthal. They did the ring introductions and then they're off to another commercial already.

Round 1: Belfort scored a nice kick early in the first minute. The entire round was spent on their feet with Martin being the aggressor. Not much action in the round. Neither really did much damage, I'd score it 10-9 for Martin for being more aggressive.

Round 2: The fight stayed standing with both men swinging wildly early in the round. Belfort hit a nice kick before Martin took Belfort down 80 seconds into the round. After a minute, they were back up to their feet. Finally with 2 minutes left in the round Belfort nailed Martin with an amazing flying knee and started landing a combination of punches and finished Martin with an uppercut.

Winner via TKO in 3:12 in Round 2: Vitor Belfort

After the fight, "Big" John McCarthy interviewed Vitor Belfort. Belfort thanks Randy Couture and Team Couture. McCarthy interviewed Randy Couture afterward who said promotions like Affliction are great for the fighters.
