Dave Farra of RawVegas.tv talks to Xtreme Couture fighters Jay Hieron, Mark Hominick, Chris Horodecki and Vitor Belfort about their upcoming fights at Affliction “Trilogy.”

Ultimate Chaos went down earlier this evening in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Sorry, but I missed the fights (saw Transformers 2, which was freakin’ awesome, hilarious, and had Megan Fox <– good god, knuckle-biting hot), so I can’t really tell you a whole lot about what happened. But from the recaps I’ve read, Bobby Lashley immediately took Bob Sapp down and pounded on him until he tapped (no word if he cried), the ref in the Yvel-Rizzo fight stood there and watched Yvel pound Rizzo into unconsciousness (read: criminally late stoppage), Chris Horodecki easily choked out his opponent, and Tom Atencio (!) weathered a beating in the first round to give Randy Hedderick one so bad in the second he refused to answer the bell in the third.

Steve Cofield has a lot more over at Cagewriter.com.

You knew everything wasn’t going to go according to plan for Affliction.

Xtreme Couture fighters Vitor Belfort, Chris Horodecki, and Jay Hieron will all be in action Jan. 24 in Anaheim California at Affliction ‘Day of Reckoning.’

Tom says the Fedor-Arlovski winner will fight the Barnett-Yvel winner, thus opening the door for a potential Fedor-Yvel match-up. I don’t know about you, but I have no interest in that fight whatsoever. Of course, that assumes Yvel will actually beat Barnett and Affliction will survive past Jan. 24, so there’s probably nothing to worry about.
