Las Vegas, NV– Finally, it looks as if Fedor Emelianenko (30-1, 7 KOs, 16 SUBs) is headed to a Ultimate Fighting Championships title shot. Now that Brock Lesnar (4-1, 2 KOs, 1 SUB) has avenged his loss against Frank Mir (12-4, 2 KOs, 7 SUBs), he will be looking towards a super fight with the seemingly unstoppable Fedor. Emelianenko must first get passed Josh Barnett (24-5, 5 KOs, 15 SUBs) at their scheduled August 1 meeting at Affliction: Trilogy.
BARNETT NEVER LOST UFC TITLE IN CAGE
I don’t see Barnett posing too much of a threat to Fedor, unless Fedor overlooks him. Barnett was stripped of the UFC title after a steroid test came back dirty a few years back. If Fedor does sell Josh short, be advised that Barnett is more than capable of taking advantage of the opportunity. Although he may be a considerable long shot, Barnett does have a chance, albeit a rather small one against “The Last Emperor.” There is talk of this fight taking place in November, December, or early 2010.
