    Dream 3

    Sunday, May 11, 2008, 10:22 PM MST [General]

    • Takeshi Yamazaki def. Shoji Maruyama via unanimous decision
    • Jason Miller def. Katsuyori Shibata via TKO (punches) -- Round 1, 6:57
    • Melvin Manhoef def. Dae Won Kim via TKO (strikes) -- Round 1, 4:08
    • Daisuke Nakamura def. Bu Kyung Jung via KO (punch) -- Round 2, 1:05
    • Nick Diaz def. Katsuya Inoue TKO (Towel, Punches) Round 1, 6:45
    • Tatsuya Kawajiri def. Luiz Firmino via unanimous decision
    • Eddie Alvarez def. Joachim Hansen via unanimous decision
    • Caol Uno def. Mitsuhiro Ishida via submission (rear-naked choke) -- Round 2, 2:39

    Several great fights at Dream 3. Alvarez vs Hansen was most likely the best. It was also great waching the Caol Uno and Kawajiri fights. Yamazaki vs Shoji could have gone either way, and I would have leaned in favor of Shoji, but it was so close that I do not have a problem with the way the decision went.

    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.

    Bad news for Fedor vs Sylvia on HDNET

    Sunday, May 4, 2008, 03:46 PM MST [General]

    From MMAJunkie

    http://mmajunkie.com/news/4273/report-affliction-loses-venue-for-debut-show.mma

     

    The upstart Affliction promotion, which debuts July 19 with an announced main event of former PRIDE champion Fedor Emelianenko vs.  former UFC title-holder Tim Sylvia, has lost the American Airlines Center as its venue.

    The news comes from fiveouncesofpain.com, which reports that the loss of the Dallas-bases venue is likely part of a bigger, failed deal with HDNet.

    As part of the deal, Affliction's preliminary card was expected to air live on HDNet, and the pay-per-view main card  would air on the all-high-definition cable station on a one-week delay.

    However, that deal has reportedly fallen apart.

    Affliction, which first launched as an MMA clothing brand, has since announced its intentions of becoming a fight organization, as well. The organization's debut show has had many notable names attached to it. In addition to Emelianenko and Sylvia, Matt Lindland has confirmed he'll fight at the event. Josh Barnett, Ben Rothwell, Andrei Arlovski and Aleksander Emelianenko have also been rumored for the card but are far from confirmed.

    According to Randy Couture, the Affliction show could now instead take place at The Pond in Anaheim, Calif. He mentioned the possibility on Saturday's "Rear Naked Radio" on 105.3 FM in Dallas.
