Affliction saves some money; Belfort not booked for Las Vegas

By Zach Arnold | August 14, 2008

MMA Weekly is reporting that Vitor Belfort will not fight Matt Lindland on the Affliction 10/11 Las Vegas show. That was an awfully expensive undercard fight to book. Affliction is now working to find a new opponent for Lindland.

Speaking of Matt Lindland, any chance that he will be fighting Jake Shields soon? We interviewed Jake on our latest radio show and he made it clear that he would fight at 185 pounds if the money was there to do it.

Speaking of Affliction, Dana White wants to thank them for booking Tim Sylvia against Fedor. What a kind and generous man he is.

  1. Chris says:

    Typical fight promoter double talk.

    If Tim Sylvia wins the Fedor fight, he would have been singing his praises, and talking about how overrated Fedor is.

  2. Ultimo Santa says:

    “He’s not the best pound-for-pound fighter, not even close, but he’s one of the four or five best heavyweights,” said White

    NOT EVEN CLOSE to being the best pound-for-pound fighter? ONE OF the top four or five heavyweights?

    It’s not even worth arguing this point it’s so ridiculous.

  3. Skwirrl says:

    Everybody knows Dana is a deuchebag plain and simple. God he makes the sport look bad. He’s a bigger scumbag than Don King even with the 2 murder raps included.
