Affliction Folds

With all the hype leading up to Fedor Emelianenko v. Joshn Barnett that was supposed to be Saturday, it's a massive let down for MMA fans that the fight is now off and the promotion, which had allegedly great depth at heavyweight (if but for Emelianenko alone), has folded. They have agreed to become clothing sponsors for the UFC and many of the fighters are getting divided up between Strikeforce and the UFC. We'll see if Dana White gets his wish and lands Emelianenko for the UFC, although Vitor Belfort and Gegard Mousasi (though Mousasi is on the Strikeforce Aug. 15 card for the light heavyweight chapmionship against renato Sobral) are great acquisitions.
