The Oct. 11 Affliction event scheduled for the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas has been postponed, Keith Kizer of the Nevada State Athletic Commission confirmed to Sherdog.com on Wednesday.

Affliction contacted Kizer on Wednesday morning to inform him that the event would be moved to a January date at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

Advertising for the Oct. 11 pay-per-view event had already begun, including in New York, where scheduled headliners Andrei Arlovski and Josh Barnett were featured on a billboard in Times Square.

The show, “Day of Reckoning,” was set to be Affliction's second MMA event.

They never should have tried to hold an event in Dana's backyard..............especially not having the event at a CASINO!!!

Tom Atencio has spoken on the decision to MMAWeekly, stating;

“We not canceling it, we’re not postponing it, we’re rescheduling it completely. It doesn’t make sense to do it where we wanted to do it, it’s a positive. Of course, it was a business decision. We came out strong, and we want to continue with that momentum and continue strong. We don’t want to come out and be weak and have to give tickets away. We want to continue to be a force in this industry.”



1. Besides my earlier point!

2. They fired the promotion company that handled all the advertising and press for the first show. They hired a new company for this one, haven't been shit besides a billboard and the fight is 30 days away...........no press conferences, no media kits, no nothing!!

-Would make for a great card but who is he going to fight with Barnett and AA already matched up?
