Now it's official. The Belarusian Andrei Arlovski will be the beast's next opponent Fedor Emelianenko, in the second edition of Affliction, scheduled for January 24th, in Las Vegas, in the United States. The fight will be valid for the event's heavyweight title. The confirmation came from Tom Atencio himself, vice-president of the organization, in an interview with the American website MMA Rated.
Arlovski is coming off a victory over Roy Nelson at EliteXC held last Saturday, while Fedor also comes from a triumph over Tim Sylvia in the first edition of Affliction, held in July.
