Oh snap, this better not be a false report like yesterday’s “Kimo Death” debacle. Sherdog is reporting that Josh Barnett will not be licensed to fight Fedor Emelianenko at Affliction 3 “Trilogy” on Aug. 1, due to an undisclosed “positive test”.
Multiple sources have told Sherdog.com that the
California State Athletic Commission will not license Josh Barnett
after a positive test result. Calls to Affliction Entertainment were
not immediately returned. The CSAC said a comprehensive statement would
be issued Wednesday.
If this report comes proves true, Affliction just lost its main
event 11 days before fight night. It is currently unclear if the
positive test is drug or medical related. Josh Barnett has yet to be
notified by the CSAC.
“I took my test three weeks ago. I would have thought I
would have heard something by now …. No matter what happens with this,
I can assure you I will clear my name. This will not be something that
I am defined by.”
According to the report Vitor Belfort has agreed “In Principal” to
face Fedor in the main event. Belfort is currently scheduled to take on
Jorge Santiago on the main card of Affliction 3.
