Pfff pathetic could not find an opponent for Fedor my a$$

[WARMachine]

Affliction is fvcked.

I couldnt believe this shit.

Now who knows whats gonna happen with Fedor in regards to the UFC. He still has a fight remaining on his contract.

[rockinred]

So no Fedor vs Vitor?

[WARMachine]

I would have thought thatd be obvious since the entire card is now canceled.

[rockinred]

true, if I could open the link above...I am at work and proxy server does not let me open the link and besides that,many websites all over the place give their opinion about what is going on in the rumor mill just to get hits on page without it being a solid fact... anyhow, sucks for all that it has been cancelled!

[WARMachine]

Gotcha. Sorry if i came off as rude. Fvckin stupid kids all over here today. Testing my limits.

Dana being a control freak will never sign fedor because he demands to compete in combat sambo which is closely related to mma and has a high risk of being injured in it. So dana wont sign him.

Dana has said many times that he wants Fedor, real bad

yeah dana also said he was out of the tito ortiz business and tito would never fight in the ufc again, but guess who is back? tito.

I am sure he does want fedor but he wants fedor on his terms. As long as dana would not allow fedor to compete in combat sambo fedor will not sign with the ufc.

Looks like Affliction more than cancelled. It is no more. That's too bad. They had some decent fights.

Looks like Strikeforce will get alot more fighters looking for work.

Dana would sign that Focker in a heartbeat. I remember hearing Dana white saying that he wasnt interested about 2 years ago, but Ive heard him several times since then saying that he wants to sign him now.
Remember, Dana also said that Kimbo was a disgrace to the sport, but now hes on the ultimate fighter.

Im wondering what couldve happened. A few weeks ago, Donald Trump was hyping affliction, and saying that all of the major fighters would eventually come over from the UFC.

I think this was a make or break show for them. LOL.....little did they know that Barnett's urine could destroy so much.

Thats exactly what happened, a show like Affliction which tries to have supercards is extremly volatile, any change in card especially the main event will destroy it, Josh Barnette basically single handedly sunk Affliction event and put many good fighters out of jobs , all of the guys on that card lost alot of money by this event being cancelled and alot of them will not get a chance to be in UFC so they are basically screwed when it comes to putting food on the table this year.

Josh Barnett needs to do more than just an apology, he disgraced the sport by taking steroids AGAIN, showing that he doesnt have the confidence to compete for the number one sport without them! He destroyed an entire event and hurt a good clothing company, and he made a full fightcard of fighters lose big potential money. The guy should not be an MMA fighter!

[BG]

^^^I agree, he fuc'd up huge.

[redz]

Why the hell was he taking Masteron ? He is a moron.

They had some very good choice to replace Barnett, they didn't have to cancel the whole show, they manage to put some very decent fights, and they did have some great talents too, my guess is that they cancelled the show out of panic.

I am sure that Strikeforce will see some very good opportunity to sign most of the fighters, some will go to UFC has well for sure.

Masteron stays on the body a long long time, i took it on a cutting cycle with Win V its quit amazing and gives you that hard look, has for Barnett well he still looked soft, he must have taken is antiblockers to late and got cought.

Can't comment on that moron comment tough i am sure that many MMA fighters use steroid at some point.

[J-Dogg]

HOw could he not take the proper measurements to ensure he passes the test? He's under the eye of the entire country and he can't pass a drug test?

He has trainers, probably doctors and nutritionist in his camp. No one can make sure he takes the precautions to pass a simple urine test when millions of dollars are on the line?

I`m not saying all professionals or the majority don`t juice because I think they do. But he should have been taking the right steroids not masteron say test suspension with proper clearing time before the fight.

what an asshole. I have always been a fan but this is so weak

[PistolPete33]

I don't know what to think of Fedor. I know he's not a fan of the UFC but he really doesn't have anywhere else to go. If he wants to be known as the best heavy weight fighter in the world he needs to fight in the UFC. Not that the heavy weight division is the greatest division but he needs to do this or he will lose fans IMO.

Exactly dana double talks and he does want fedor but on his terms not fedors terms and as long as fedor demands to compete in combat sambo dana wont sign him.

[Brown Ninja]

I had always really hoped that affliction was going to be around and relevant.

[Brown Ninja]

You act as if Dana White's word actually mean something. Fedor will be in the UFC by January and will still compete in Sambo. Bet on it.
