BARNETT OUT: BELFORT TO FACE FEDOR SATURDAY!

July 22nd, 2009 By Matthew Grizzle

FEDOR HAS “EASY” MATCH IN STORE?

Los Angeles, CA- It looks as if Josh Barnett (24-5, 5 KOs, 15 SUBs) will not be able to gain a license in California to fight Fedor Emeilenenko (30-1, 7 KOs, 16 SUBs) at Affliction: Trilogy.  Apparently the California State Athletic Commission refused to license Barnett due to a positive drug test on a preflight exam.  Vitor Belfort (18-8, 12 KOs, 2 SUBs); who last fought at 185, will look to step in to fight the heavyweight king.  All props to Belfort, but he is likely to be crushed like a grape!

  2. I saw the quick k.o. of sylvia by ray mercer, but against fedor, there is no way he could pull that off! If Kimbo Slice could tap out mercer with ease, imagine what fedor would do to mercer!

  3. The card has been cancelled…this is probably the end for Affliction and Fedor will probably sign with the UFC since Dana White wants him in his show!

    Fedor vs Lesnar would be huge!
