Affliction Trilogy Cancelled

August 1, 2009

Honda Center

Anaheim, California

Seal Beach, California (July 24, 2009) – The highly anticipated fight between Fedor Emelianenko and Josh

Barnett at the Affliction Trilogy MMA show has been cancelled. The mega fight was scheduled to take place

at the Honda Center in Anaheim on August 1st. The unforeseen license denial of Josh Barnett gave Affliction

limited time to find a replacement and adequately promote the new main event.

“Finding an opponent for the number one ranked MMA heavyweight champion in such a short period of time

was a huge endeavor and I’m thrilled at the amount of fighters willing to take on this challenge,” said Tom

Atencio, vice president of Affliction Entertainment. “But in the end, we just didn’t have enough time to

promote a new fight to our standards.”

Affliction is deeply disappointed that the under card is also cancelled through no fault of its own. Affliction

stands behind the company’s brands and delivers premium products to the most passionate and loyal

customers. Affliction’s first priority is to ensure that all future events live up to the company’s high standards.

Ticket holders for the canceled event should contact Ticketmaster or ticketmaster.com for a refund.
