LAS VEGAS — Andrei Arlovski and Josh Barnett are featured on a billboard in New York’s Times Square. The billboard is promoting Affliction’s second event, “Day of Reckoning.”

 

The event is scheduled for October 11th at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be on PPV.

The Oct. 11 card will feature 10 bouts, showcasing Affliction heavyweights Andrei Arlovski vs. former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett. Arlovski and Barnett both participated in “Affliction Banned,” held at the Honda Center July 19 in Anaheim, California.

Competing in separate bouts, both fighters registered impressive wins over Ben Rothwell and Pedro Rizzo, respectively, and will now face each other in a bout that could possibly set up a future showdown for the winner with Fedor Emelianenko, who in July defeated former 2-time UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia in 36 seconds.

Tickets for Affliction “Day of Reckoning” are available online at www.unlvtickets.com or by calling 702.739.FANS. Ticket prices range from $75 to $500.
