the only reason i dont like AA vs Barnett, is because now after the winner of those two fight Fedor it will be hard to market the other guy fighting Fedor...know what im saying?

AA and Barnett are the two most deserving to fight Fedor. so, i think it wouldv been more marketable to have Fedor fight them back to back. like if he wouldv fought AA, have Barnett on that card fighting a can to build him up. then you can have to big main events.

now, the loose of AA vs Barnett wont have as much glamour going in to get Zulu'd

well really this doesnt do much for me. dont get me wrong should be a battle but what can arlovski do to josh? i mean josh is a better tim sylvia and arlovsli deff wont sub him. i can see this turning into a snorfest very easily with Josh laying his way to victory.

well said agreed 100%. and no one in the world wants to see big tim vs arlovski 4 lol. which this kind of sets up the loser to fight him? or will he be fighting someone on Affliction 2?

my thoughts exactly Barnett is just to talented and too big for AA to just run over or beat

It's possible nothing of substance comes out of this but its not likely.

That would suck if Fedor failed his drug test. Interesting. It is definitely not Barnett or Arloski since they are fighting on the next card. Looking forward to this fight. Fedor will be back.
More positive drug tests on the horizon? :Five Ounces of Pain

"MMA Weekly is reporting that the CSAC is not done gathering results from the drug tests from the recent EliteXC and Affliction cards and that it appears that more positive drug tests are on the way from fighters involved with the two shows:

The initial test results for the remaining fighters on each show, however, indicate that there are more positive results forthcoming. CSAC Assistant Executive Officer Bill Douglas told MMAWeekly.com that, “Both cards are not out of the woods yet.”

He would not identify any of the individuals involved, nor would he indicate how many individuals were involved, but did indicate that initial testing of the remaining fighters’ “A” samples returned more positive results.

Douglas said that the earliest that confirmed results will be released is August 11.

Of the results that have come back for the Affliction card so far, only Justin Levens has tested positive. He tested positive for oxymorphone, the same painkiller that James Irvin tested positive for following UFN 14. The other fighters whose drug screens have come back clean from Affliction are as follows: Vitor Belfort, Terry Martin, Paul Buentello, Mike Pyle, J.J. Ambrose, Gary Goodridge, and Ray Lazama. Eight fighters from EliteXC have also had negative drug screens come back: Brandon Tarn, Drew Montgomery, Mike Cook, Carl Seumanutafa, Marlon Mathias, David Douglas, Jeromy Freitag, and Anthony Ruiz.

As you can see, there are lots of big names left out there whose drug screens could come back positive. Every person listed above whose drug screen has already come back was on the undercard of each of these shows. It will be very interesting to see the fallout from the positive drug screens, especially if the names are bigger than we think."
