    It's official: Affliction Clothing will officially launch its fight-promotion business in July, and the event will feature Fedor Emelianenko vs. Tim Sylvia, as well as Josh Barnett vs. Pedro Rizzo.

    A company executive made the announcement on tonight's episode of "Inside MMA." A preview of the segment can be watched here on MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) thanks to our partnership with the weekly MMA news show.

    VP of Affliction Clothing Tom Atencio confirmed that the event, "Affliction: Banned," takes place July 19 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. The show's main card will air live on pay per view

    "I think we have one of the biggest cards ever," Atencio said.

    There have been rumors the preliminary card might air on HDNet. However, HDNet officials have been tight-lipped, and Atencio said "we're still in negotiations" for anything beyond on the PPV card.

    Joining Atencio on tonight's panel are UFC heavyweight champion Barnett and MMA trailblazer and UFC hall-of-famer Dan Severn. They join hosts Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten, and reporter Ron Kruck.
