Team Quest front man and top ten ranked middleweight Matt Lindland finally has an opponent for Affliction "Day of Reckoning" after his original opponent set for the event, Vitor Belfort was forced to withdrawal due to a lingering hand injury.

MMAJunkie.com, who just broke the news, says that sources close to the event have pegged experienced wrestler and UFC veteran Trevor Prangley as his opponent for the Oct. 11 event in Vegas.

Prangley, who only has five losses like his adversary, has competed in Multiple top tier organizations including the UFC, Strikeforce and Bodog FIGHT. His most recent victim was Falaniko Vitale who lost via decision at Strikeforce in November of 07.

Prangley who has fought some of the toughest in the biz, should be a strong match up for the wrestler turned politician. Trevor has cranked off wins against the likes of Chael Sonnen, Andrei Semenov x2, Travis Lutter and Yuki Kondo.

Lindland has been busier outside of the cage than in over the past 16 months, only reeling off one victory which was over Fabio Negao at Affliction "Banned" in July. Lindland’s not afraid to mix it up and will take a fight in pretty much any weight class. The most obvious proof of this came in April of 2007 when "The Law" stepped into the ring with "The Last Emperor." He didn’t come out victorious but proved that he is fearless as a mixed martial artist.

Affliction "Day of Reckoning," which takes place at the Thomas & Mack Center in Vegas, features a "WAMMA Elimination Bout" between former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski and "The Babyface Assassin" Josh Barnett to see who will take on the Undisputed heavyweight king Fedor Emelianenko for all the glory.
