Affliction: Trilogy CANCELLED

[theotherserge]

So now we get to continue hearing Barnett trump himself up as the 'One who would beat Fedor' without the risk of getting proven wrong, and without the risk of ever having to prove it.

Umm, I really don't think so. More likely, Barnett will be the pariah who finished off Affliction. The only people interested in him will be Dana (for lolz) and Japanese Pro Wrestling.

Lots of fighters have been busted for steroids, none have done in such a douchebag fashion and caused a fight card to fold. Josh may go the way of Floyd Landis (Tour de France winner/not!)

Here's hoping you're right.
Even if I really wanted to see him get Fedor'd.

From what I hear, and I'm no deep insider for sure, but Joshy screwed the pooch on this one. He knew he was going to be tested, if the test happened after the fights it'd be different; but he fucked up months of training and effort for a dozen fighters (scheduled and alternate hopefuls) and the already gasping Affliction recieved it's last nail in the coffin lid thanks to Josh.

I don't think he has many friends right now.

Good news, the Babalu-Mousasi fight has been moved to Strikeforce. (source: Bloodyelbow). I'm pretty happy about that, since I was really looking forward to that fight.

Excellent news indeed, it's also reported on sherdog now. If Strikeforce can set up Heiron vs. Diaz, they can still have a kickass Aug. 15th card even without the Werdum vs. Overeem.

I still hope the other fighters on the card find decent-paying promotions.

Won't someone please adopt these poor, abandoned fighters from the rescue shelter?
