This is something that I never thought I'd type:

Donald Trump -- who has forged a partnership with Affliction MMA -- will tomorrow announce the acquisition of former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski at a noon press conference at Trump Tower in New York, N.Y., according to MMARated.com.

In addition, "The Pitbull" will take on Ben Rothwell (as expected) during the debut pay-per-view (PPV) event for the promotion at the at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., on July 19.

Trump is also expected to reveal more details on his partnership with Affliction MMA, which according to the report, he owns a "significant amount" of the upstart promotion.

This is about to get real interesting ... as if it isn't already. Stay tuned. In the meantime, to get some more background on Trump's involvement with mixed martial arts click here.
