Well there you have it. Affliction appears to be dead in the water and the UFC and the T-shirts guys are friends again, hours after Affliction announced they would be canceling their final show. Strange stuff indeed. Does this open the door for Fedor to come to the UFC? Only time will tell. In the meantime, here is a great highlight video of Fedor with an intro from UFC commentator Joe Rogan where he praises the Russain heavyweight. This is not suitable for children. Ear muffs starting now.

Shocking news in the world of MMA yesterday as top ranked Josh Barnett tested positive for a steroid we have never heard of. One mans misfortune is another s opportunity, and in this case it’s top ranked Middleweight Vitor Belfort will move up two weight classes and take on the top ranked heavyweight and possibly the greatest MMA Fighter in history, in Fedor Emelianenko. Good luck to you Vitor. In Honor of Vitor stepping in on short notice here is a highlight video from some of his best fights. Enjoy.
