Its being reported on quite a few MMA websites. Fedor has some problems with his right hand again. He may be out of action till '09. It could be Barnett - Arlovski at Affliction 2 to determine number 1 contender statis.
Well, that would suck. I didn't think that he had time to hurt his hand in that fight. However, I do recall him mentioning that his hand was hurt at the post-fight press conference. I thought that they said it was just something minor though. It shows that Fedor was actually suspended for 180 days due to his right hand injury. That is where the rumor is started. However, all he needs is for a doctor to clear him. It was showing that Sylvia was banned for 180 days too, for an elbow injury. However, all they need for medical clearance to fight before that. A doctor can clear them, and they would both be able to fight on the next card.
Barnett vs Arlovski would be a great fight though. However, I would rather see both of them get a shot at Fedor.
It has meritt to it....and Fedor does want to fight the best now and actually means it.....besides he was throwing some wild punches on Tim's big noodle an injury certainly wouldn't be out of the question.
sorry gentlemen, I meant his injury has merrit to it and I would believe it to be legit. I truley believe he wants to fight the top guys not like he has been doing the last couple years......1000 pardons
This truly sucks. I was looking forward to this fight. Barnett/Arlovski is still a great match - but I want to see Fedor in action.
