“Finding an opponent for the No. 1 ranked MMA heavyweight champion in such a short period of time was a huge endeavor, and I’m thrilled at the amount of fighters willing to take on this challenge,” Atencio stated. “But in the end, we just didn’t have enough time to promote a new fight to our standards.”

I am shocked and can’t believe this. How much longer are we going to have to wait to watch Fedor fight? I was wondering what was happening with Affliction especially after they still had not announced an opponent for Fedor. I hope Strikeforce steps up and signs their fighters. Also, I hope either Fedor signs w/ the UFC or Strikeforce signs Fedor vs. Alistair Overeem.

I can only assume the backlash of the undercard fighters towards Barnett will be high. I would be pissed if I were any of them.

This is balls. I would rather see Fedor/Belfort or even Fedor/King Mo than have the whole show CANCELLED!

This could become a good thing…. Anything that may lead to the UFC and Fedor coming to an agreement is a good thing in my books… Affliction was sorta a balls promotion, you have to admit…
