Dana White casts doubt on reaching UFC contract with Fedor Emelianenko
Don’t hold your breath on Fedor Emelianenko and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) coming to terms on a contract anytime soon unless a major stumbling block is somehow surmounted.
After a wild week in mixed martial arts that saw one promotion fold entirely, several fighters wondering when their next paycheck will come, and enough press conferences [...]
Would-be Affliction headliner Josh Barnett’s “B” sample also positive for anabolic steroid
Josh Barnett, the would-be “Affliction: Trilogy” headliner who was denied a license for the fight because of a failed drug test, wasn’t cleared of any wrongdoing by his “B” sample.
In an email to MMAjunkie.com, a California State Athletic Commission representative confirmed the sample tested positive for a metabolite of the anabolic steroid Drostanolone.
The initial sample, which forced Barnett out of a scheduled and hugely anticipated Aug. 1 bout with Fedor Emelianenko, detected the same drug.

Dan Henderson gets next title shot, Nate Marquardt vs. Demian Maia winner “in the mix”
Dan Henderson will no longer fight Rich Franklin at UFC 103 and will instead get the first shot at UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s title at an event to be determined.
During a UFC media conference call today, UFC president Dana White said he pulled Henderson from a previously announced rematch with Rich Franklin at the upcoming UFC 103 event because of the poor reaction it got from fans.
Franklin instead will fight new signee Vitor Belfort in the main event of UFC 103, which takes place Sept. 19 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
