'We got the confirmation this weekend. Travis Lutter, who was scheduled for a classic superfight with David Terrell, will have to pull out due to a groin injury that will prevent him from preparing for the match.' explains spokesman Miguel Iturrate. 'Travis was looking forward to this, and he wanted a reschedule - he does not want to cancel this fight! The AFC will work to make that happen at a later date.'
'We have someone in mind as a replacement.' reveals the spokesman. 'It has to be a high quality opponent, and honestly, it has to motivate Terrell, because his MMA career is also looming. The fact that Lutter interested Terrell to return to an ADCC style match is a compliment to both guys. For ADCC purposes, we dont want to see any rematches, so it will be someone that David hasn't faced before. If it doesn't happen, then we will wait for Lutter to heal.'

Marcos Avellan of Florida's Freestyle Fighting, a veteran grappler and star of many superfights, takes on rugged Otto Olson, from Matt Hume's Pankration, who finished 2nd at the 2003 World Championships. In the second new bout, Norwegian standout Joachim Hansen takes on Marcos 'Parrumpinha' De Matta.
