http://www.mmabay.co.uk/Story%2000959.htmlThere is an unconfirmed rumour circling the internet this morning that Affliction are lining up WAMMA heavyweight champion, Fedor Emelianenko to square off with Croatian knockout artist, Mirko Cro Cop at their third event.
If true this would be a sensational move by the promotion, who intend to go head to head with the world’s biggest MMA organisation on July 11th, the UFC.
The pair have met before back in 2005 with Emelianenko winning by unanimous decision but fans of the sport would love to see these two heavyweight legends lock horns again, that is for sure.
Emelianenko has been on a role recently, defeating both Tim Sylvia and Andre Arlovski in the first round to silence many of his critics. Cro Cop too has rediscovered his form since leaving the UFC, gaining a TKO victory over giant Hong Man Choi most recently with a low kick.
