After the fall of Affliction many Affliction fighters are urging to make the UFC their new home, which is a good organization to go to imo, the fighters get well paid and the people who run the organization run it well and no doubt UFC are top of the MMA food chain right now. Ben Rothwell and Chase Gormley will make their Octagon debuts in a heavyweight bout at UFC 104 on Oct. 21 at the Stapes Center in Los Angeles, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations.
This matchup was actually scheduled to take place at Affliction “Trilogy” on Aug. 1. However, We all saw what happened to Affliction Entertainment. They Just couldn’t handle the fight business; fair play it’s a hard business with a great business at the top of the food chain at the moment (UFC). The Event “Trilogy” got canceled due to Josh Barnett testing positive for steroids, what a jerk. Meaning the Pro-claimed Best Pound for Pound fighter in the world didn’t have a fight.
Rothwell (30-6) rebounded from a third-round knockout loss to Andrei Arlovski at Affliction 1 in July 2008 to submit Chris Guillen with elbows in the first round at Adrenaline MMA 2 last December. An IFL standout, the Wisconsin native has won 16 out of 18 bouts since 2004, including victories over Roy Nelson, Ricco Rodriguez, and Krzysztof Soszynski.
The 25-year-old Gormley was an NAIA All-American Wrestler for Lindenwood University. Gormley (6-0) earned a unanimous decision against former super heavyweight Eric Pele at MFC 16 in June 2008. More fighters are moving to the UFC and I just hope Fedor is one of them.
