 Affliction Entertainment has been fighting off speculation regarding their third MMA event since the conclusion of “Day of Reckoning” this past January. Today, the popular mixed martial arts clothing company confirmed what had already been heavily-rumored.
On their official website, Affliction announced that their August 1st event, “Trilogy,” will in fact feature WAMMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko defending his crown against Josh Barnett inside the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
It is the only venue that Affliction has ever called home.
Emelianenko confirmed his participation in the show yesterday, however nothing is more official than having your boss announce the event with a prettied-up poster.
