Icon14 AA vs Rothwell Set for Affliction!!!

Source:
http://www.mmahq.com/2008/05/12/andr...iction-banned/

Affliction just announced today that Andre Arlovski and Ben Rothwell will fight each other at Affliction: Banned on July 19.

The “Banned” fight card will be the first show promoted by Affliction and has one of the best fight cards of the year. Both Rothwell and Arlovski are under contract with Adrenaline MMA but are fighting with permission on the Affliction card. Since the inaugural Adrenaline event is just a month earlier, both fighters will not be available for the Adrenaline show. The Adrenaline website does say both fighters are still scheduled to compete on the second Adrenaline fight card on September 6.

Here is the current fight card for the Affliction: Banned event:

* Fedor Emelianenko vs Tim Sylvia
* Josh Barnett vs Pedro Rizzo
* Ben Rothwell vs Andre Arlovski
* Aleksander Emelianenko vs Paul Buentello
* Matt Lindland vs Fabio Negao
* Renato Sobral vs Mike Whitehead
* Savant Young vs Mark Hominick
* Brett Cooper vs Mike Pyle
* Ray Lamaza vs Justin Levens
* JJ Ambrose vs Patrick Speight

ya well i was trying to clear up that i was not fighting AA in Sept on another org. as the original rumor stated. I tried to never say if i was/was not fighting AA but most all the forum took it that way, sorry i guess.

anyway I'm excited to fight a top10 HW, so thanks for the support, peace

Thanks for the info! I'd be happy to see AA go onto another organization since the UFC doesn't seem to be wanting to keep a lot of the top HW talent.

Prepare for the arrival of Ben Rothwell saying this is BS, but for the record I really hope it happens.

I hope it happens too. I also hope Ben doesn't get worked up over it. Are we even sure that really was Ben on this site and not some teenie bop? I ask because on sherdog.com, a columnist discussed Starnes performance and wouldn't verify it was really him that came on here.

Finally, so what if it really was Ben? Let's not try to ruin his career as a fighter over one PR mishandling. After all, he's a fighter, not a PR professional.

Would any of you want to take so much flak after training so hard to start to make a name for yourself in MMA?
