Martin-Belfort promoted to Fox Sports Net undercard


A middleweight bout between Terry Martin and Vitor Belfort will air live alongside the heavyweight battle between Aleksander Emelianenko and Paul Buentello on the televised undercard of "Affliction: Banned" on July 19.

Martin vs. Belfort was slotted on Fox Sports Net after Vernon "Tiger" White fell out of the card after testing positive for a diuretic at the XFA 2 kickboxing event on May 31. The Ultimate Fighter 4's Edwin Dewees has been tapped to replace White against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

"Affliction: Banned" will air live on pay-per-view ($39.95) at 9pm after the one-hour undercard on Fox Sports Net at 8pm.
