Jay Hieron vs. Drew Fickett at Affliction

Hieron's manager says that they have verbally accepted the fight:

Former International Fight League welterweight champion Jay Hieron  has verbally accepted an offer to take on Drew Fickett  at Affliction 2 “Day of Reckoning” on Oct. 11 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Fickett’s manager, Alexander Oxendine of 2 A-T Media, confirmed his client had been made an offer and negotiations are ongoing.

“We’re in discussion with a few organizations and Affliction is one of them,” said Oxendine. “They are at the top of our list. As far as Drew is concerned, he’s made a great turnaround with his life and training. He is ready to move forward.”

This is a decent fight outside of the heavyweight division for Affliction and I'm glad to see that Hieron should be getting himself a nice payday.  What's more is that Jay Hieron is the kind of guy that a promotion can start building a bit of a division around.  Not in that he is invincible but he fights crowd pleasing fights and if brought along right could be a nice high undercard attraction below the heavyweights.

Now that I've said this it remains of some importance that he get past the tough Drew Fickett at "Day of Reckoning."

You caught me..

I’m actually a counter spy working for John McCains Fascist anti MMA regime. We’ll have this thing shut down in no time, and you’ll be reduced to watching the WWE again.
