The July 19 "Affliction: Banned" event recently suffered its first card
casualty, as K.O. Dynasty Management confirmed that Vernon "Tiger"
White had been pulled from the event.
Affliction Vice
President Tom Atencio today told MMAjunkie.com that
the organization now has its sights set on UFC veteran Edwin Dewees
(35-12-0) as a possible replacement to face Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
(13-3).
"We're interested in Edwin Dewees," Atencio said. "I
haven't had a chance to talk to him, but I know somebody's reaching out
to him, and hopefully that will work out. But we're in talks right now."
