Fedor-Sylvia to Fight For WAMMA Heavyweight Title


(Now there’s hardware at stake.)

MMA Rated is reporting that the Fedor Emelianenko-Tim Sylvia bout on the July 19 Affliction card will be for the WAMMA heavyweight title. For those that don’t know, WAMMA is the World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts (In the interest of full disclosure, I’m on the rankings committee, as is Ariel Helwani, Sam Caplan, and a bunch of other guys). This would be the first title put up by WAMMA, and in a fight with two men ranked first and fourth respectively in the heavyweight division.

Affliction VP Tom Atencio confirmed the report, and while it might not yet be the most meaningful title in the world, it does add a little extra interest to the Fedor-Sylvia bout.
