10.07.2008 Fedor vs Couture could happen at AfflictionFightwear company president confirms good relations with Randy
What MMA promotion wouldn’t want to have in one of their shows the epic bout between two of the greatest heavyweights in the history of fighting? The clothing brand Affliction, which will make it's debut as an event promotion company on The 19th with the “Banned” event, definitely wants to be the stage for the match between Fedor Emelianenko and Randy Couture.
With the intention of promoting at least three more shows, foreseen for October, December of 2008 and February 2009, Donald Trump and his gang seek to invest strong and put together cards on the same grand scale as the first one. A contract with the Russian they have, but without a doubt, the most difficult task will be to secure the release of aging Couture from his case with the UFC.
At least they have the good intent and relationship with both parties, as Affliction vice-president Tony Atencio guarantees in an interview with Fiveouncesofpain.com.
“Yes, this is the fight everyone wants to see. It’s a dream match up. Randy doesn’t want to fight anyone else and we have a good relationship with Randy,” he said.
