  - JAVIER VAZQUEZ VS. LC DAVIS FOR AFFLICTION 3
Wednesday, July 01, 2009 - by MMAWeekly.com Staff
A featherweight bout between LC Davis and Javier Vazquez is set for Affliction "Trilogy" on Aug. 1 in Anaheim, Calif.
Sherdog.com was the first to report the match-up, and MMAWeekly.com subsequently confirmed it with Affliction vice president Tom Atencio. The bout will take place on the HDNet-televised undercard.
Vazquez (13-2) encountered controversy last weekend at "Ultimate Chaos" when a weigh-in snafu forced the cancellation of his scheduled bout with Din Thomas. The 31-year-old veteran instead took on local jiu-jitsu specialist Mark Kergosien and submitted him in 19 seconds. It was his first appearance after multiple injuries kept him out of action for over a year.
Davis (13-2) last appeared at Sengoku "Seventh Battle" in March, losing a unanimous decision to Michihiro Omigawa. Before that, the 28-year-old Kansas City resident made his Affliction debut at "Day of Reckoning," grinding out a game Bao Quach on the January card. Davis almost became a WEC fighter last August when Cub Swanson injured his hand and was removed from his bout with Hiroyuki Takaya at WEC 35. The fight was scrapped when Takaya declined the match-up.
In other news, Atencio said he could not confirm a reported match-up between featherweights Mark Hominick and Devidas Taurosevicius for "Trilogy" and declined to comment on its status.
