Rothwell To Fight Arlovski At Affliction Banned

Ben Rothwell now has an opponent for the Affliction Banned event.

Rothwell's long rumored opponent was formally announced today as former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski, who phoned in to speak with Donald Trump during the Affliction press conference held at the Trump Tower in New York City.

This is an intriguing match up. Rothwell, a dominate fighter in the IFL can really put his name on the map with a win over a top ranked heavyweight. This PPV event should be very entertaining.
