Former UFC heavyweight fighter Fabricio "Vai Cavalo" Werdum recently said during an interview that he has nothing definitive in terms of a potential contract after being released by the UFC. The Brazilian mixed martial artist did go on to make a comment regarding Affliction Entertainment though saying, "Affliction is promising more than 16 shows in 2009, mainly do not claiming exclusivity."The starting point would obviously be January 24th "Day of Reckoning", but beyond that, nobody's heard anything.We do know that the Affliction's roster goes as deep as January's card but they do have the capabilities to sign more fighters as the promotion moves forward.

Many sources reported that Brett "The Grim" Rogers has been contacted by Affliction regarding a possible bout with Josh "The Babyface Assassin" Barnett (picture) on January 24 "Day of Reckoning" card at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.Rogers is most known for his three impressive wins in the -- now bankrupt promotion -- EliteXC as well as calling out Kimbo Slice at a post-fight press conference.Many believed that Rogers was next in line to fight Kimbo Slice if Slice had beaten Seth Petruzelli. Instead Rogers finds himself looking for another promotion to work with.Barnett currently has no opponents for "Day of Reckoning" after being pulled out of the main event when Fedor Emelianenko returned to the card.
