2ND AFFLICTION SHOW COULD TAKE PLACE IN NOVEMBER

After putting on a successful debut card on Saturday, Affliction Vice President Tom Atencio is already planning the company's second card.

When asked by mmajunkie.com for a date and location the Affliction Vice President had the following to say:

"When? The beginning of November," Atencio said. "Where? We haven't finalized that yet. We're still looking at a couple different locations."

As expected, Affliction will use many of the fighters that took part in this past Saturday's "Affliction: Banned" debut show at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. Now boasting the majority of the world's top-10 heavyweight fighters, Atencio said the big guys will again be on display in November.

"We're obviously going to use the guys who won (on Saturday)," Atencio said. "Josh Barnett definitely. Who we're going to set him up with -- we're going to talk about that as well. (Also), Andrei Arlovski definitely. We have three-fight contracts with these guys.

"And ... obviously Fedor. Everybody I'm sure wants to watch him fight. Is that guy amazing or what?"
