note (from sherdog):

A Sengoku official has come back stage to announce that Gono is in the hospital. He has a concussion and damage in his neck, but he's awake and is doing well.

Affliction: Trilogy - Weigh In Results

Main card

WAMMA Heavyweight Championship bout: Fedor Emelianenko (231.75) vs. Josh Barnett (257.5)***
Light Heavyweight bout: Renato Sobral (204.5) vs. Gegard Mousasi (202)
Middleweight bout: Jorge Santiago (185) vs. Vitor Belfort (186)
Heavyweight bout: Gilbert Yvel (237) vs. Paul Buentello (244)
Lightweight bout: Takanori Gomi (156)** vs. Rafaello Oliveira (154)

Undercard

Welterweight bout: Jay Hieron (171) vs. Paul Daley (170)
Heavyweight bout: Ben Rothwell (265) vs. Chase Gormley (265)
Lightweight bout: Chris Horodecki (155) vs. Dan Lauzon (155.5)
Featherweight bout: LC Davis (145) vs. Javier Vasquez (145)
Featherweight bout: Mark Hominick (146) vs. Deividas Taurosevicius (144.5)

Non Televised Bouts (M-1 Global Bouts)

Middleweight bout: Lucio Linhares (190)* vs. Givanildo Santana (188.25)*
Heavyweight bout: Jessie Gibbs (270)* vs. Rob Broughton (280)*

*all fighters on the M-1 Global portion of the card were significantly overweight at the time of the weigh-ins. When the CSAC threatened to pull them off the card, the M-1 higher ups threatened to take Fedor and all their co-promotion money back to Russia. The CSAC was literally powerless to do anything at this point and simply allowed the fights to go on as planned.

**Takanori Gomi made weight on his 19th attempt.

***Josh Barnett.

Why Vitor vs Fedor Makes Perfect Sense

Date: April 14, 2007
Location: Russia
Case: Matt Lindland, a middleweight, uses superior striking to cut Fedor above his eye early in the fight before losing by armbar.

Evidence:



Date: July 19, 2008
Location: USA (California)
Case: Vitor Belfort, a middleweight, seizurizes Matt Lindland with superior striking 37 seconds into their bout.

Evidence:



What does it all mean?:

Matt Lindland's standup caused the most damage we've seen to Fedor over the last 4 years.

Vitor Belfort's standup put Matt Lindland in a retirement home.

Therefore, Vitor Belfort wins against Fedor by Seizuiring TKO Cut Stoppage at 26 seconds of Round 1.
