Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko has everything to lose and everything to gain tomorrow night at the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates, Illinois as he takes on a larger but inexperienced Brett “The Grim” Rogers. His risk of losing this fight clearly out weighs winning because if he wins this still is not a challenge of proving he is the best fighter in MMA. According to the moneylines Fedor is obviously a huge favorite. Check the money lines/fight odds here: MONEYLINES Read the rest of this entry »

It would appear that Fedor is joining Strikeforce to headline a card with a relative newcomer to MMA, Brett Rogers on November 7, 2009 in Hoffman Estates IL. Also featured on the card is Christiane Cyborg Santos defending her new title taken from Gina Carrano last month. Read the rest of this entry »

Ok I know this is a little late in the news but there are still some questions to be answered. Check out the rise and fall of Affliction video and let me know how you think this will play out.

After Josh Barnett's failed drug test resulted in a license denial and ended the chance to get into the ring with Fedor Emelianenko at Affliction Trilogy.  Not only did this end the head lining card but also ended the entire event.  A plausible substitution could not be found on short notice so it was decided to cancel the event to be held on August 1, 2009.

Josh Barnett's big test comes August 1st when he participates in the headliner main event against current WAMMA champion Fedor Emelianenko. If you haven't heard of Josh I am quite surprised.  The 6'3", 255 pound, Barnett has quite a resume in Mixed Martial Arts.   Nicknamed the baby-faced assassin, he touts a respectible 24-5-0 record. Five by way of Knock out and 15 by submission.  Josh became the youngest UFC champion in 2002 by defeating Randy Couture. Barnett also paved his way by winning against names like Aleksander Emelianenko by Keylock submission, and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in the Open weight Grand Prix semi finals.

Now on Saturday August 1, 2009 Josh Barnett will face the biggest challenge of his life by taking on the the last emperor, Fedor Emelianenko.  Fedor is viewed by almost anyone who knows what MMA is about as the best heavyweight MMA fighter around today.  Fedor is virtually undefeated after over 30 professional MMA fights.  His only "official" loss was due to an elbow cut on the forehead and the doctor stops the fight 17 seconds in to the first round.  As you can see below, bodog is giving big favorite odds to Fedor. Bodog is also speculating if Fedor wins against Barnett it sets up a Brock Lesnar fight down the road.  You know this is already in the works.  At least I think it is.
