Affliction has canceled its Trilogy event! Fedor Emelianenko was to fight Josh Barnett on Aug. 1 in Anaheim, but Affliction canceled the show after Barnett tested positive for steroids and couldn't get a license to fight. Affliction has now folded and will be a promoter in the UFC now.
This means the UFC will have its pick of Affliction fighters to give exclusive contracts to, including former Heavy-Weight title holders, Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski.
Will Fedor finally now be coming to the UFC? Dana White has already said if he signs Fedor he automatically gets a shot at Brock Lesnar for the title in his first fight! Everybody's dream fight might soon happen! Dana White has called a MAJOR press conference on July 31st where he said UFC will be announcing some huge changes and some great news.
