Matt Lindland vs Trevor Prangley no Affliction Day of Reckoning (Rumor

[zinho!@ 0]

Top-ranked middleweight Matt Lindland (21-5) finally has an opponent for upstart promotion Affliction's second event, "Day of Reckoning."

Sources close to the bout today revealed to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Lindland will face UFC, Strikeforce and BodogFIGHT veteran Trevor Prangley (17-5) at Afflcition's sophomore effort.

Lindland's original opponent, Vitor Belfort, recently bowed out due to a hand injury. Rumors of potential replacements have run rampant since Belfort's withdrawal. Several sources reported that EliteXC champion Jake Shields was a possible alternate despite EliteXC Vice President Jared Shaw's claims to the contrary.

Instead, Prangley -- who has competed against the best in the world at 185 pounds, including victories over Falaniko Vitale, Yuki Kondo, Travis Lutter, Matt Horwich, Chael Sonnen and others -- will step in. Despite several notable wins, losses to Jorge Santiago, Jeremy Horn and Renato "Babalu" Sobral have prevented the South African from garnering elite-level status.

Lindland, victorious in his Affliction debut against Fabio "Negoa" Nascimento, has not suffered a loss in his natural weight class of 185 ponds since 2004. The winner of 10 bouts during that span, "The Law" has competed at both light-heavyweight and heavyweight recently while suffering defeats to Quinton Jackson and Fedor Emelianenko.

Dentro das possibilidades que o Affliction tinha, até que ele é razoável. Se colocassem o Kang ou o Cyborg, eu ia achar melhor, mas não sei se isso é possível
