Tito Ortiz Vs Babalu Sobral Set For Second Affliction Show?

Sports that free agent Tito Ortiz will fight Renato "Babalu" Sobral in the co-main event at Affliction's next fight card, on Oct. 11 at the Thomas & Mack Center on the UNLV campus in Las Vegas. The main event will feature a heavyweight bout between WAMMA champion Fedor Emelianenko and Andrei Arlovski.

Affliction vice president Tom Atencio would not confirm the Ortiz-Babalu fight. He said details for the fight card will be released during an Aug. 6 news conference that most likely will be held in Las Vegas.

Atencio also indicated that he didn't think Affliction could speak with Ortiz until Aug. 4 because of a 60-day non-compete clause in Ortiz's UFC contract. Ortiz's last fight for UFC was on May 24 at UFC 84. If the 60-day clause is accurate, the deal ended last weekend. Atencio said the biggest stumbling block for an Ortiz deal would be the financial terms.

Affliction would seem to have the inside track at signing Ortiz, a former UFC light heavyweight champion (15-6-1, 14-6-1 UFC). He and his girlfriend, Jenna Jameson were conspicuous during the Affliction "Banned' event, sitting next to Affliction partner Donald Trump. Ortiz and Trump developed a relationship during the most recent season of The Apprentice.

Sobral told MMAJunkie.com that Ortiz is the fight he wants.

"That's my dream fight," a smiling Sobral said. "I'm looking for another guy. Wait for the name. It's coming. I think Tom (Atencio) is going to bring a name for me. And I'll be here to kick his ass."

Babalu's relationship with UFC ended in August of 2007. Sobral (30-7, 6-4 UFC) was released from his contract after a controversial win over David Heath. Sobral would not release a choke even after referee Steve Mazzagatti stopped the fight. Babalu won his Affliction debut on Jul. 19 with a unanimous decision over Mike Whitehead.

Because Affliction is not a licensed promoter in Nevada, Roy Englebrecht will serve as the promoter. Englebrecht was the promoter of record of the Banned card at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

Other Rumored Fights
Fedor v. Andrei Arlovski
Paul Buentello v. Ben Rothwell
Tim Sylvia v. Josh Barnett
Matt Lindland v. Vitor Belfort
Affliction looking good again on paper, hopefully they improve production and draw better this time.

Like I said to Dan, as long as Babalu doesn't sub Tito off his back, I think Tito's got this one in the bag by Decision or Ground And Pound TKO.

Buentello vs Rothwell would be great but will Rothwell be even approved to fight then since he got beat up pretty bad against Arvloski, maybe a medical suspension?

Oh wow, they're sending Tito up against one of the most underrated light heavies in the world...and a world class jiujitsu guy no less? Oh yeah and he's on my team too.

Sorry Lemon, I think Tito's massive dome is gonna turn bright red from exertion as he's trying to get outta whatever choke Babalu puts him in. Because where Babalu couldn't do much with Whitehead, he'll be able to do PLENTY with Tito.
