Fedor Emelianenko to face Vitor Belfort?
 

So Josh Barnett has registered a positive test. This is woeful news for Affliction, which surely will encounter significant problems pulling television advertising on only 11 days' notice. Sherdog reports that a tentative agreement (pending Emelianenko's approval) has been reached with Vitor Belfort, who had been preparing for a middleweight bout and who can't weigh much more than 200 pounds at the moment. Belfort appears rejuvenated, but an extra 30 pounds of Emelianenko is a big load to carry. Another possible replacement is Bobby Lashley, a choice that could cause a minor stir; Lashley would be the best wrestler Emelianenko has faced since Kevin Randleman, who dropped Emelianenko on his danged head

Hmm, I think Vitor is in over his head this time. :2 cents:

I'd like to see Lashley step in. That would be hilarious.

Fedor will eat Vitor without any problems, Vitor isnt really what he was before in the old days. The fight is over already.

This Bobby Lashley?

Don't think he was ever much, just caught Wanderlei and a couple of other guys, never was superb or anything

Lashley has already said he hasn't been training much after beating Bob Sapp, and I think he is definitely smarter than trying to fight Fedor at this stage of his career. He just signed a new deal with TNA to wrestle and plans on using that money to finance his fight career, so he said he probably wouldn't take that fight even if they threw a lot of money at him..

I hope that they contract fight for Fedor vs Vitor !! And what can I say .... WAR VITOR , WAR !!! :)

Fedor will destroy any of these guys....

What he said.
