        lol, never thought of this but i also hope it is weed. If its steroids Barnett goes down in MMA history as a cheater. First in the Randy Couture fight and now the Fedor fight, no question he was using while in PRIDE!

          nope looks like its an anabolic steroid "Barnett’s June 25 drug test was positive for 2a-methyl-5a-androstan-3a-ol-17-one, said the CSAC"

              I wonder if they'll be able to find someone dumb enough to take this fight on zero notice.

              What a blow for Affliction.

                It better not be the middleweight Vitor Belfort. Brett Rogers would be the best on short notice, Rumor is they will pay 500K to the replacment and i'd think he'd take that quick. other possible heaveyweights are Werdum, Monson. If they can't find anyone from the outside they shold take a heavyweight off the under card like Gilbert Yvel, Ben Rothwell or Paul Buentello.

                  I agree...would be most interested in seeing Brett Rogers getting a shot.

                  Not like he exerted himself too much in his last fight lol.
