Megadeth To Perform At Affliction Banned

SIGNAL HILL, California (June 19, 2008) – Affliction Entertainment, scheduled to make MMA history on July 19th at Honda Center in Anaheim with the greatest line-up of mixed-martial-arts fights ever presented in one night, keeps building this event with the latest news—heavy metal band Megadeth, led by frontman, guitarist, and songwriter Dave Mustaine, will be performing live at the event.

The platinum selling band, Megadeth has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide and will electrify the audience with a special highlight performance. Known for their distinctive, in-your-face guitar solos, snarling vocal style and dark lyrical themes, Megadeth is sure to resonate with the “Affliction Banned” fan base and intensify the already action-packed event.

“Affliction Banned”, a mixed-martial-arts pay-per-view event in association with Roy Englebrecht Events, features the much-anticipated return of Russian heavyweight superstar Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko, in association with M-1, and supported by an star studded undercard, July 19th at Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

Fedor (27-1), the former undisputed PRIDE® heavyweight champion and Russian M-1 legend, has been universally recognized for the past five years as the most dominating heavyweight in the world. He faces former two-time UFC® heavyweight title-holder Tim “The Maine-iac” Sylvia (24-4), fighting out of Iowa by way of his native Maine.

An impressive four-fight undercard will be loaded with Josh “The Baby Faced Assassin” Barnett (21-5) of Seattle facing off stateside for the first time in two years in a grudge match against the only opponent to ever knock him out—Brazilian strongman Pedro “The Rock” Rizzo (16-7).

Three-time All-American wrestler Mike Whitehead (20-5), of Salt Lake City will battle Brazilian sensation Renato “Babalu” Sobral (29-7) of Costa Mesa, California. 2000 Olympic Wrestling Silver Medalist Matt “The Law” Lindland (20-5) of Oregon City faces Brazilian favorite Fabio “Negao” Nascimento (8-3). Former IFL® titlist “Big” Ben Rothwell (29-5) of Kenosha, Wisconsin is scheduled to fight Andre “The Pitbull” Arlovski in this groundbreaking event.

Tickets for “Affliction Banned” range between $50.00 and $1,000.00 and are on sale at the Honda Center Box Office and also online at Ticketmaster.com.

Added to news with HANGER 18!

MEGADETH

[ArmyofDarkness]

Sources close to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira's camp have informed Fightline.com that Vernon White has been dropped from Affliction's inaugural card as the former UFC fighter tested positive for a banned substance. MMAjunkie first reported the news and confirmed that White had indeed tested positive for a banned diuretic at a regional show that he recently participated in. White plans to file an appeal to the local commission but has been dropped from the card nonetheless.

Fightline.com has also confirmed that White, who was originally scheduled to face Nogueira on Fox Sports Net's portion of Affliction's upcoming card, will now be replaced by Edwin "Babyface" Dewees according to sources within Nogueira's camp.

Dewees (35-12), a TUF 4 alum and veteran UFC fighter, brings a wealth of experience into the ring with him; and at just 25 years old he'll be looking to catapult himself back onto the national scene with a win over Nogueira. He's coming off of a submission victory over Richard Blake in his last outing but is 1-4 in his past five contests.
