Yup. Fedor will now be facing Vitor Belfort as Barnett's replacement. Kinda made me
since Vitor's been fighting at 185 recently. Especially as Dana has said he'd actually like to have Vitor back to eventually challenge The Spider's stranglehold of the middleweight belt.

On such short notice, I understand why they might be tapping Vitor since he's already slated for the Santiago fight (but at MW) on that same card. But ain't it funny that he's now willing to fight a much bigger (and more talented) opponent in Fedor? Yet not too long ago, he was b*tching & moaning about facing Mousasi only if at MW. Kinda loco, huh?
Hopefully, Affliction can salvage a "decent" replacement. I really wanna see Fedor pound on a HW, esp. one of the bigger boys w/ Barnett's size. It would definitely further spur on folks wanting to see a Fedor-Brock match-up asap.
We'll see... I guess.
Affliction Trilogy Cancelled Oh well.
Like I said earlier, looks like Affliction may be done b/c of this. Check this out...

Too bad b/c I was hoping for StrikeForce & Affliction to merge.

“Finding an opponent for the number one ranked MMA heavy weight champion in such a short period of time was a huge endeavor and I’m thrilled at the amount of fighters willing to take on this challenge,” said Tom Atencio, vice president of Affliction Entertainment. “But in the end, we just didn’t have enough time to promote a new fight to our standards.”
