“Affliction: Banned” to Use Extra Large Ring?
Jul 14, 2008 in Uncategorized
Sherdog has a new video interview with Mark Hominick, who fights former IFL’er Trenell “Savant” Young on the under-undercard of Affliction’s debut show this Saturday. And just when you thought you’d heard everything there is to hear about the biggest show of 2008, Hominick casually drops this nugget:

Recently, Hominick’s opponent, Savant Young scored a major upset when he defeated Shooto superstar “Lion” Takeshi Inoue. In facing off against Young, Hominick feels he could put himself back in the running for a title, should Affliction decide to crown a champion at 145-pounds.“Well, with Savant, I’m fighting a top ten fighter, who previously beat the No. 2 ranked guy in the division, so beating him puts my name back where it belongs, in my opinion,” he said. “Coming out of the show as the winner, I think it puts me in contention right away.”
However, Hominick knows that is easier said than done. more…
