Chris Horodecki vs. Dan Lauzon at Oct. 11th Affliction bout

Former International Fight League stand-out Chris Horodecki (12-1) has agreed to make his Affliction debut against one-time UFC fighter Dan Lauzon (10-2) at the organization's Oct. 11 event.

"Affliction: Day of Reckoning," which features a headline bout of Andrei Arlovski vs. Josh Barnett, takes place at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas and airs on pay per view.

Horodecki, a 20-year-old MMA prodigy, was one of the IFL's most recognizable stars before the organization recently halted operations.

The Canadian fighter will now meet Lauzon, a fellow 20-year-old who -- at the ripe age of 18 years, six months and 16 days old -- became the youngest fighter ever to compete in the UFC. Lauzon suffered a first-round TKO to Spencer Fisher at UFC 64 -- and a subsequent submission defeat to Deividas Taurosevicius -- but he's posted six consecutive stoppage victories since then.
