After its debut show drew over 14,000 fans and a gate of over $2 million, Affliction is reportedly eyeing an Oct. 11 date for a follow-up, this time in the UFC's backyard of Las Vegas, Nevada, Yahoo! Sports is reporting.
The second show for the upstart promotion would feature a main event matchup of Fedor Emelianenko vs. Andrei Arlovski.
Both fighters participated in the first event, with Emelianenko steamrolling Tim Sylvia with a 36-second choke victory, while Arlovski won via third-round knockout.
The second installment will reportedly be held at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center, and an announcement is expected next Tuesday.
It is unknown whether other bouts will be announced at that time.
