Crazy. I was looking forward to the Fedor/Barnett bout. I like Belfort, but didn't he just drop a weight class, so now he's 2 weight class below Fedor? How can this even be considered as a fight?

The California State Athletic Commission has denied Josh Barnett a license because he tested positive for an anabolic steroid, the CSAC said in a statement Wednesday.
Barnett’s June 25 drug test was positive for the Clostebol metabolite 2a-methyl-5a-androstan-3a-ol-17-one, said the CSAC, which learned of the results Tuesday and informed promoters Affliction Entertainment and M-1 Global that Barnett’s Aug. 1 fight against Fedor Emelianenko would not be approved.
The CSAC said Barnett’s test was “observed in the presence of a CSAC representative and the sample was sent to the World Anti-doping Agency test facility” at UCLA.
so thats what happened to all his flab

Thank god! At least hes not fighting Lashley.
BTW, Fedor only fights at about 230 lbs. Belfort probably comes into fight at around 205. Since he wont have to cut weight, he'll be around 220-225 come fight time.
I think this is a better fight for Fedor because Belfort has some credentials unlike Lashley and has been on an impressive streak lately.

He was supposed to fight in the undercard at 185.

Vitor probably walks around at 220-230 lbs when in shape.
According to his trainer: "Right now he's about 200-pounds. He's training hard, we had him on a diet to drop five more pounds and then you've got ten pounds of water-weight that he would have lost before the Santiago fight, but now we're good to go now. The night of the fight he'll be up around 205lbs to 210lbs."
I think he'll be even heavyer than that fight time.
