Once again the proposed Fedor vs. Josh Barnett fight will not happen for reasons unknown. Both will have different opponents at the next Affliction event.
Atencio says the guy they have tapped won't disappoint fans, but Barnett is the #1 contender IMHO, so something is up.
I can't see Ortiz taking that fight. I think he will probably be fighting Babalu instead. Perhaps Werdum is another possibility.
