Affliction “Banned” Medical Suspensions: Fedor and Sylvia Suspended 180 Days
Affliction “Banned” headliners Fedor Emelianenko and Tim Sylvia are among nine fighters who have been issued medical suspensions by the California State Athletic Commission following the July 19th event in Anaheim, California.
Fedor, who defeated Sylvia via submission just 36-seconds into the opening round, has been suspended for 180 days due to a right hand injury and Sylvia has also been suspended for 180 days due to a left elbow injury.
Fighters can be cleared for competition early by a doctor and both “Banned” headliners will need early clearance as Emelianenko is set to take on Andrei Arlovski in the main event of Affliction 2 on October 11th and Sylvia is also expected to compete on the card.
Vitor Belfort and Mike Whitehead also received 180 day suspensions.
The ten-bout card aired on pay-per-view and FSN.

LOL @ Terry Martin’s suspension.
180 days ? does this mean Fedor can’t fight until 2009 ?
If not, Arlovski should just get the belt. Cause with his beard, he deserves it. Although I loved that Fedor was playing cards before his fight with Sylvia.
No, he can be cleared early when his hand has healed.
Yea hes just suspended that long until a doctor clears him to fight…
Victor’s suspended for his broken hand…he broke his hand in the first round…and then came back and knocked terry martin the f*ck out…
LOL, Fedor suspended because of a right hand injury. I guess he injured it on Sylvia’s face!
The next enent is gonna be brilliant!
Fedor v AA
Tito v Babalu
Linland v Belfort
*event
Where is the Aleks update Affliction???
how do you get hurt both guys mind you in freaking 36 seconds
Fedor tested negative for being human….
i want to see babalu submit tito so bad, and force him into retirement haha!
Fedor vs. Arlovski is going to be the fight of year, maybe the decade. Both looked incredible on the last card and this figures to be a rumble for the ages. Better than Fedor vs. Couture in my opinion. This is the most highly anticipated fight I can remember for a long time.
So let me get this straight the next affliction card is going to be:
Winners vs. Winners (Affliction 1)
Losers vs. Losers (Affliction 1)
+ Tito Ortiz(not cheap).
I would be amazed if they coul pull together an Affliction 3.
If Nate wins next month that is probably the last UFN he will have to do for a while…
