Matt Lindland vs. Trevor Prangley set for Affliction II

MMA Junkie is reporting that Matt Lindland and Trevor Prangley are set to face off against one another at October’s Affliction: Day of Reckoning event. Lindland’s original opponent, Vitor Belfort, had to pull out of the fight due to a hand injury.

Lindland’s last fight came at Affliction: Banned where he took a unanimous decision victory home over a very game opponent in Fabio Negao. Many thought that Lindland would steamroll Negao but Negao was able to give Lindland some trouble on the feet during the fight and was able to sustain a deep guillotine attempt, which is Lindland’s bread and butter submission, in the first round. Lindland was able to pull out the victory and knock off the ring rust from not fighting for over a year.

Now Trevor Prangley will face off against Lindland at the event. Prangley is a long time veteran of the sport and has fought some of the biggest names in the middleweight division. He holds wins over fighters such as Chael Sonnen, Yuki Kondo, Travis Lutter, and Matt Horwich and has fought against several other top level fighters as well.
