Ray Lazama vs. Justin Levens

This will be a special empty arena match, ala Terry Funk vs. Jerry Lawler. I'm not even sure when it will start, as the ring is still filled with people taking pictures.

And it will not be taking place. The fight was canceled, so that's it barring any post-fight press conference notes. Tom Atencio spoke with the media already and said Affliction's next show will take place in early November and will feature Josh Barnett and Andrei Arlovski (not necessarily against each other). Atencio also said he wants Fedor on the show. One would assume Affliction will want to put together Couture vs. Fedor if it's possible, but the legal situation is unlikely to resolve itself by November.

Thoughts on the Night

Overall, Affliction has to consider this event a tremendous success. It isn't likely to do standout business on PPV, but it did well at the gate, the crowd was totally into it, it got good media coverage that will help it going forward, and the top fighters that were expected to win did. I would say that they have a lot more momentum coming out of this show than I expected them to, and while UFC doesn't really have anything to worry about for now, I could see a day come where UFC will have something to worry about.
