Vitor Belfort vs Jorge Santiago at Affliction: Trilogy

Middleweight Vitor Belfort will take on Jorge Santiago at Affliction 3: "Trilogy" on Aug. 1 in Anaheim, Calif.
MMAWeekly.com confirmed the match-up through sources close to the fight. It is expected to be on the event's main card.
Belfort took the bout following reports he would take on Gegard Mousasi at a catch-weight. Mousasi later confirmed he would face Renato "Babalu" Sobral on the clothing company turned fight promotion's third show.
An Affliction regular, Belfort last appeared at "Day of Reckoning," where he destroyed Team Quest original Matt Lindland in 37 seconds. Prior to that, he knocked out Terry Martin in the second round of the promotion's first show. Since his exit from the UFC in early 2005, he has gone 6-3, and maintains an overall record of 18-8.
Santiago, a mainstay of American Top Team, found great success after leaving the UFC in late 2006, winning fights for now-defunct Bodog, Strikeforce, and recently, Sengoku, where he's notched five straight victories. In his last appearance, he submitted top-ten middleweight Kazuo Misaki at Sengoku: No Ran.
Well to be honest, I like this more than the open weight fight because this will actually mean something for a certain weight class, namely the Middleweight division. I actually like how Belfort is finally concentrating on one weight class rather than circling around HW, LHW and MW.

Heavyweights Ben Rothwell vs. Chase Gormley booked for "Affliction: Trilogy" card

A heavyweight bout between Ben Rothwell (30-6) and Chase Gormley (6-0) has been booked for August's "Affliction: Trilogy" card.
Affliction Vice President Tom Atencio confirmed the bout to MMA FanHouse during today's press conference in New York City.
The presser was held to promote the Aug. 1 fight card, which takes place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., and features a main event between WAMMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko and Josh Barnett.
Rothwell, a former IFL champ who went 9-0 in the now-defunct organization, last competed for Affliction in July 2008, when he suffered a third-round knockout loss to Andrei Arlovski. Rothwell, though, bounced back five months later when he defeated Chris Guillen via submission (due to strikes) at Adrenaline MMA II in December.
Gormley, meanwhile, faces the toughest test of his young undefeated career. He debuted professionally in 2007 with a decision win over EliteXC veteran Jon Murphy. Most recently, he defeated Eric Pele via decision at a May event in Canada.
In addition to Rothwell vs. Gormley, "Affliction: Trilogy" will feature Affliction welterweight Brett Cooper (9-4) and former IFL lightweight Deividas Taurosevicius (10-3) in separate undercard bouts, according to the report.
The latest rumored "Affliction: Trilogy" card now includes:
Champ Fedor Emelianenko vs. Josh Barnett (for WAMMA heavyweight title)
Paul Buentello vs. Tim Sylvia
Gegard Mousasi vs. Renato "Babalu" Sobral
Vitor Belfort vs. Jorge Santiago
Ben Rothwell vs. Chase Gormley
Paul Daley vs. Jay Hieron
Chris Horodecki vs. Dan Lauzon
Mark Hominick vs. TBA
Brett Cooper vs. TBA
Deividas Taurosevicius vs. TBA
It's an okay fight, doesn't really compare to others.
