Of course, “Day of Reckoning,” which was originally slated to go down on October 11, 2008, before being postponed, will feature one of the most anticipated fights in the history of the sport between WAMMA Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko and former UFC title holder Andrei Arlovski.
Another former UFC heavyweight champion, Josh Barnett, was also confirmed for the card. His opponent is unknown at this time.
Eleven total bouts are expected to eventually round out the card, including a light heavyweight showdown between Renato “Babalu” Sobral and Matt Lindland. Vitor Belfort is also expected return against a soon to be announced opponent.
Prior to the PPV broadcast, which will be produced and distributed by Showtime Networks Inc. in conjunction with Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, several fights will be televised on the HDNet channel.
In fact, a light heavyweight tilt between Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Vladimir Matyushenko will headline the televised HDNet preliminary card that will serve as a lead in to the PPV event.
