It's still going to be a good fight!

Barnett replaces WAMMA title-holder Fedor Emelianenko, who will not be able to fight in Affliction's second event due to a hand injury sustained in the fight with Tim Sylvia.

WTF? Fedor hurt his hand with under a minute of fighting

And how are they just now figuring this out after they announce his fight with AA

This is still a great fight, with the winner being the #1 contender to fight Fedor when he is healthy. I will give the edge to Arlovski in this fight but Barnett brings a good fight game and could beat Arlovski if he doesn't execute.

Fedor didn't pull out. I think they suspended him 180 days 'until further medical evaluation'. He said in the post fight his thumb was a bit sore... I guess that's what comes when hitting like a mack truck.

I can't predict this fight. On one hand, I feel AA would CroCop Barnett.

But I like Barnett's size, wrestling and strength against AA.

I don't know who's going to win.

I guess everyone breaks their hand when they punch Tim Sylvia's hard head. Ask Brandon Vera. I think Fedor and Arlovski was never confirmed though, it was just rumored. This was confirmed by Affliction itself. This should be a great fight though.

Sucks Fedor is out but this should still be a awesome fight. Hope AA lays Josh out, that guy's way too cocky.

i prefer this match over aa vs. fedor because this should really determine who deserves a title shot against fedor.

yeah, I will have to agree with that. Barnett shouldn't have a problem getting AA to the ground and once it is there it wont take long.
