A.A Vs Rothwell Confirmed, right rumor wrong promotion.
When rumors of a fight between Arlovski Vs Ben Rothwell began to circulate for an summer Adrenaline card, Ben Rothwell went online to clear up rumors by attacking a poster on an MMA forum calling him a liar. Unknown to Rothwell at the time almost every other website had already began to spread the same rumors accross forums and threads. So as it turns out the rumor was half true, wrong promotion right fight. So Rothwell confirmed the fight himself on the forums of Sherdog.com.
Ben Rothwell
just remember back at the post "lets get the rumor right its not about who" ya

as the original rumor stated. I tried to never say if i was/was not fighting AA
but most all the forum took it that way, sorry i guess. anyway I'm excited to
fight a top10 HW, so thanks for the support, peace

With a rumored $6.5 in fighter payroll this might be the last Affliction card we see so enjoy this one because it looks like its going to be a great card. What might really be the more interesting fight is can Affliction fight who has done little marketing, press, or even a website not go out like WFA in one one PPV.
Fedor Vs Sylvia, Rizzo Vs Barnett, A.A Vs Rothwell and Matt Lindland Vs Fabio Negao are all fights any MMA fan (Hardcore watch Dream 3 at 3:00 A.M fan) wants to see and will pay to see but will the Ultimate Fighting fans (Brock and Kimbo are the best fans) even know its happening? Before you come out of your Troll caves and beat me with your Keyboards and Clubs, keep in mind Fedor Vs Lindland on Bodog fight lost an estimated $2 Million after being advertised every there was a bill board in NYC.
Big Nog Vs Frank Mir TUF 8 Coaches.
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Frank Mir where confirmed on Monday night to be the next coaches of The Ultimate Fighter 8. The season will premiere on Spike TV on Spetember 17 th and will have 2 weight classes, Lightweight (155 lbs.) and Light Heavy weights (205 lbs.). This of course will mean if Big Nog and Mir fight at the end of the season finale for the Heavy weight championship. Meaning the UFC HW belt (interim or other wise) has not been defended since August 25th of last year, since Randy Couture defeated Gabriel Gonzaga by TKO due to strikes and then resigned from the UFC. Fans where livid after hearing the news in frustration that another UFC Championship belt will not be defended for another season of TUF.

Everyone is complaining about how the HW division is depleted since the defections of Arlovski, Sylvia, Cro Cop and Randy Couture's resignation and are really pissed off. The UFC H.W division needs a face and Big Nog and Frank Mir are class acts whom both in fights and life show a fighters spirit never giving up no matter how badly the odds are stacked. Big Nog has shown he is never out of a fight and is the best H.W in the world not named Fedor. Frank Mir's career after becoming its youngest HW champion was supposed to be over because of one Motorcycle accident. I personally am glad to see two fighters of such class get some of the spot light.

I agree that Mir and Nogueira are class acts and they will be great coaches.They both have alot to offer the new TUF contestants and who knows what special guests may come onto the show.Maybe an Anderson Silva?Well I for one can't wait to watch it......Stay Tuned
Well if AA is gonna fight Rothwell than Rothwell will get KTFO.I just don't think he has what it takes to beat Arlovski and I still believe he lost to Ricco Rodriguez in the IFL Tourney.
